Another MS slip-up. Though I am curious, I'm heeding the Linux Journal's advice about trying to see the see the code:

As a reminder to our readers, we are repeating the same advice we published in 2000, the last time Microsoft's source code was compromised. Don't look at it or you could contaminate yourself legally.



Actually, I wouldn't even know what I was looking at...I'm just some kind of code peeping tom

There's already an exploit in Internet Explorer

Great, this weeks latest security hole.

A Kuro5hin article said there is very little secuity risk in the released code. It also had some funny outtakes from the code's comments.

Does anyone really think MS wants to let on that their prized posessions have been let out of the bag? Of course they'll minimize the problem publicly but privately they're probably pretty heated over this.
