Huge Windows security hole. Watch out!

It seems someone recently discovered a problem that makes any Windows release since 1990 vulnerable to hackers, and all you have to do is view an image. This could be in an email, on a random website, over IM, anywhere.

Unfortunately, Windows isn’t expected to release a security patch until the 10th, so in the meantime, be very very careful about where you’re surfing and which emails you’re opening. You don’t want to get hit by this one.

It’s suprising that it’s been around since 1990 and they just now found it. Kinda makes you wonder what else hackers are going to find, doesn’t it?
