Hackers are moving rapidly toward widespread distribution of an exploit for a previously unknown vulnerability in Internet Explorer. Microsoft acknowledged the critical vulnerability nearly two weeks ago. Rapid7 reported Monday that a module for the IE exploit has been added to its popular Metasploit tool. Microsoft has released a temporary fix for the flaw affecting all versions of IE. The temporary fix is 32-bit only, making it useless to organizations running 64-bit Windows. Microsoft encouraged customers Monday to apply its temporary fix “to help ensure they are protected””]
