Google exploit update; what no Flash?
Microsoft has published a critical security update, MS10-002, as
of Thursday, 21 January. They rushed out this patch that covers
seven different IE vulnerabilties, even as attackers were working
on converting the Google exploit so it succeeds against later
versions of IE.

Update on Google attack
It seems that early reports were wrong about the actual exploit used against Google and 33 other companies. The exploit code has appeared in the hands of many AV companies. It is an IE exploit and a zero-day.
Zero-day means that this was a previously unknown vulnerability, and as far as I can tell, there is no patch for it from MS as yet.

news is this week is that Google has been hacked, along with 33 other
US companies (all Fortune 500) by China.
