Yeah. Something like that happened to a guy named SoftServe or something, right here on this board.

Damn, thanks for the info.

here's another story on it:

When are you dumbfucks going to learn? http://www.opera.com

Ya - opera is tight - it wont even allow the 'show your hard-drive' code.

Bah. From the eweek.com story "Two other browsers, KDE's open-source Konqueror and Opera Software ASA's Opera, are also vulnerable to this attack"

Yes, there is an update to Opera 6.05 that fixes the flaw but don't assume you're safe just because you're using Opera.

Upgrade and patch regularly, no matter what software you're running.
