Hackers jump through holes in Microsoft patch

Security experts are warning Microsoft customers about silent Internet 
attacks that exploit a security flaw in the Internet Explorer Web 
browser, potentially allowing remote attackers to run malicious code on 
vulnerable machines.

The vulnerability is similar in scope to those exploited by devastating 
worms such as Nimda, Badtrans and Klez, according to one security 
company. And, to make matters worse, the flaw is one Microsoft said it 
fixed weeks ago.
