I've seen this story in a couple of places this morning and don't know what to make of it. This one, in The Register, is entitled Watch out! Incoming mass hack attack. This gist is that there is a security flaw in Microsoft IE and some of their server software that has allows "malware" hackers to penetrate even the most venerable of Websites and infect them. The result being that when you surf to even these "trustworthy" sites, your computer will also become infected. Then all kinds of bad stuff happens.
Read it. I'm not sure that it's not a little overblown. But, I'm updating my virus-scan (which is a little like Communion: It probably won't do you any harm and it just might do some good.)
