so, speaking of the feds (homeland security this time) and warnings, "The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team touched off a storm this week when it recommended for security reasons using browsers other than Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer." now this warning, honestly, does make sense to me. and not just cause it's not-pro microsoft. slashdot has a more useful explanation of what the exploit actually is and does. ouch. how can an enormous, giant corporation that since 2002 keeps continuously claiming "security is our top priority" yet still keep getting slammed with very real massive, gaping, and real world exploits? more commentary. and yes, the simplest solution once again seems to be just stop using internet explorer.
