Microsoft warns that attackers are targeting Internet Explorer (IE) with an exploit of a critical unpatched vulnerability. Only IE9, which is still in beta, is unaffected; IE8 is immune to the current round of attacks. Microsoft downplays the threat, saying it has seen only “extremely limited” attacks thus far. Microsoft did not say when it would patch the bug, and urged users to protect themselves by upgrading to IE9’s beta or implementing workarounds. The next regularly-scheduled Patch Tuesday for Tuesday is Nov 9, but if it’s past practice, it’s unlikely a fix will be available by then.”]
