Google has made some changes to their Desktop Search to block attackers from exploiting a security flaw in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. The best part about this is the modifications made by Google were on their end, and end users do not need to download any kind of patch or update.

It took Google roughly one week to fix (or at least prevent) a flaw in IE and protect their users. Microsoft is still “looking into the issue”.

Of course, people who use Opera or Firefox didn’t have to worry about this issue in the first place. ;)

About d3bruts1d.com
d3bruts1d.com is my [d3bruts1d] collection of news, rants, and random thoughts relating to the subjects Technology, Gaming, Entertainment, and just about everything else. This place is in no way meant to be considered a serious or professional news blog, in fact anyone who attempts to take it as such should probably seek professional psychiatric help immediately. It's here so that I can share with other people the things that interest me. If you're here, then hopefully you share similar interest. If we have nothing in common, then I have but one question for you, "why on God's green Earth are you here?" If you happen to be as messed up as I am, feel follow me on Plurk, FriendFeed, or any of other of the many social networks and websites I'm on.
