Internet Explorer bug lets hacker control your PC(!)

[Smurfboy]

This is how it works: Hackers set up a website that installs malware when you visit it. If you're duped into visiting the website while using the Internet Explorer program, malware seeps into your computer and gives a stranger total control. You might not even notice.

"I'd say someone taking control of your computer is just the beginning of the worst case scenario," said Adrian Sanabria, a security expert with 451research.com. "Because then they steal your info, get access to your email, etc."

It's worse for those using Windows XP, because Microsoft no longer supports that operating system with security patches. To them, Microsoft says: Go upgrade to Windows 7 or 8.1.

Seriously, though. Don't Hackers have any better to do than just sitting around and busy bustin' other poeple's PC? It makes me sick. C'mon, hackers. Get out of house, find a real job and chill.
