Emergency Security Warning

According to
Microsoft
, there is a major hole in Internet Explorer (versions 5.01, 6, 6 SP1, and 7) which can potentially be used to install keyloggers on your system.
News reports
indicate that this exploit is primarily being used to steal World of Warcraft passwords. I
strongly
recommend everyone IMMEDIATELY update their version of Windows (a regular
Windows Update
should do it) to resolve this issue.
Just a heads up!

Edit:
Someone pointed out a quote in the BBC article saying:
"What we've seen from the exploit so far is it stealing game passwords, but it's inevitable that it will be adapted by criminals," he said. "It's just a question of modifying the payload the trojan installs."
Like stealing game passwords is a "pretend" crime. From what I've heard, it's a better investment for a criminal to steal a WoW password than a credit card, since the credit card is more likely to be traced and deactivated before the criminal can spend the money.
