Websense: More than 2,000 unique websites rigged to exploit Microsoft’s animated cursor security flaw. Microsoft broke from its regular patching routine and issued an off-schedule fix due to the danger of the vulnerability. Attackers from Eastern Europe and China appear to be at the heart of the efforts, security vendor Websense says. Merely viewing a website engineered to exploit the vulnerability with an unpatched machine can result in an infection, expert says. Microsoft said Friday it was fixing compatibility problems with some applications.”]
