Just as predicted, news media this week seems to be covering the MSIE gopher root exploit with a new focus on Microsoft and their real problems with security, not just the latest hole. One company even goes as far to say that they 'cleaned up Microsoft's mess, once again'. With 18+ un-patched vulnerabilities in line for a fresh MS-fix, this may be the straw that breaks the camel?s back.
