Computerworld - Microsoft today confirmed that exploit code published last week can compromise PCs running older versions of Internet Explorer (IE), but said its security team has not yet seen any in-the-wild attacks. The attack code, which was posted Friday to the Bugtraq security mailing list, affects both Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and the newer IE7, Microsoft acknowledged. "Microsoft can confirm that the publicly available exploit code affects IE6 and IE7, not IE8," a company spokesman said in an e-mail reply to questions today.

Abington IP has announced that they're considering filing a class action lawsuit against Microsoft, and are urging those who were recently banned to contact the firm about joining the potential suit. Microsoft, meanwhile, has responded that they can ban pirates and modified consoles as much as they please.
