Attackers Exploiting Windows Help Center Flaw

Researchers have found evidence that attackers are exploiting the vulnerability in the Windows Help and Support Center. The flaw was disclosed late last week by Tavis Ormandy, a security researcher who works for Google. The disclosure caused a huge dustup in the security community and elicited a rather testy response from the Microsoft Security Response Center. Sophos researchers identified a piece of malware that s being used by a compromised site to attack visitors. Microsoft recommends that affected Windows XP users deploy the FixIt patch.
