Default Windows Flaw Could Steer IE To Hackers

Windows Flaw Could Steer IE To Hackers

Microsoft says that a flaw in the way Windows looks up other computers on the internet has resurfaced and could expose some customers to online attacks.

The flaw primarily affects corporate users outside of the U.S. It could theoretically be exploited by attackers to silently redirect a victim to a malicious Web site.
