It's amazing how people find these exploits, but then again the Israelis did invent ICQ

I was looking to see what version toolbar I had but it looks like it was only for older versions and has been fixed now

"..We notified Google about these problems on 31-Jul-2002 and worked with them to fix the issues. Google has been very responsive and quick to produce a fixed version.."

Yeh, and Microsoft has fixed all their exploits too how many times now.



The hackers are always one step ahead of the patchers.

"We notified Google about these problems on 31-Jul-2002 and worked with them to fix the issues. Google has been very responsive and quick to produce a fixed version (1.1.59/1.1.60).
The new version began distributing on Wednesday (07-Aug-2002) noon using the auto-update feature in the Google toolbar. Therefore, most of the toolbar's users should be protected from these vulnerabilities by now. "
