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.
