New Attack Fells Internet Explorer

By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service - Sun Nov 22, 2009 3:30AM EST

A hacker has posted attack code that could be used to break into a PC running older versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.
The code was posted Friday to the Bugtraq mailing list by an unidentified hacker. According to security vendor Symantec, the code does not always work properly, but it could be used to install unauthorized software on a victim's computer.
