Internet Explorer users have been advised to use another web browser as Microsoft scrambled to issue a patch for a vulnerability in their web browser. Hackers have been hitting the exploit for a week already.
A firm who issued the flaw in a security advisory stated - "Microsoft is continuing its investigation of public reports of attacks against a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer".
Microsoft has admitted seeing attacks in IE7 but warned other versions are vulnerable. The Web browsers' flaw can allow a remote attacker to take control of a users computer and steal their passwords.
Be excited, but be scared. A world of mind-blowing possibilities is suddenly being thrust upon the world of video gaming. Designed like headgear, the EPOC contains multiple sensors to measure electrical activity in the brain.
The era of thought controlled games has arrived, and soon you could be required only to 'think' to operate a video game. Maybe you'll even have the chance to be completely immersed in a video game 'world'.
The Emotiv EPOC headset - the first Brain Computer Interface (BCI) device for the gaming market is the technology behind the revolution -- and the company claims to have already mastered thought control.
The EPOC detects and processes real time brain activity patterns (small voltage changes in the brain caused by the firing of neurons) using a device that measures electric activity in the brain.
In total, it picks up over 30 different expressions, emotions and actions.
The leap in technology has been met with excitement amongst many gamers. Singapore enthusiast Samuel Lau has even made a video showing his hopes for the future of gaming.
