Microsoft Internet Explorer Unsafe - DO NOT USE

Saw this on Jim's site. It's from Yahoo News

The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team touched off a storm this week when it recommended for security reasons using browsers other than Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer.

The Microsoft browser, the government warned, cannot protect against vulnerabilities in its Internet Information Services (IIS) 5 server programs, which a team of hackers allegedly based in Russia has exploited with a Java script that is appended to Web sites.

Bet that didn't please the folks at Microsoft too much...
