Certainly puts all that jive they've been spewing to the press in a 
different perspective.

Microsoft has begun to investigate the Iframe vulnerability and has not 
been made aware of any program designed to exploit the flaw. (You'd 
think they'd monitor the lists - p)

"Upon completion of this investigation, Microsoft will take the 
appropriate action to protect our customers, which may include providing 
a fix through our monthly release process or an out-of-cycle security 
update, depending on customer needs"

"Microsoft is concerned that this new report of a vulnerability in 
Internet Explorer was not disclosed responsibly, potentially putting 
computer users at risk"

But then again who doesn't like to bash Redmond, I'm curious what the 
"investigation" is turning up though.
