Time to look for a new browser, I think. Can't wait to get my new Powerbook G4 so I can move on to OS X Jaguar Panther Tiger, and use Firefox and Safari. Right now I am still stuck in OS 9 with my old but trusty Powerbook Pismo (it's a long story), and I'm probably the last OS 9 user in my company.

Web browser flaw prompts warning

The threat of infection is so high because the code created to exploit the loophole has somehow been placed on many popular websites.
Experts say the list of compromised sites involves banks, auction and price comparison firms and is growing fast.
