First shock of the story is 900 million people worldwide still use Internet Explorer *shudder*, though for some browser geeks it might be no surprise there's a problem with IE.
There are news of a loophole, which threatens the users security like private information and computer hijacking.
"Microsoft has issued a software patch to defend against attacks, and said it was working to develop a long-term fix."-BBC
The problem means in IE you could click a link the hackers script would activate throughout the session. Though no word if anyone used the loophole before it was discovered.
