Quote - one of the best things you can do for yourselves folks is to stop using IE and start using  firefox.  much better, faster browser and with the NoScript add-on you wouldn't have this current problem ruining your day.

That's a bogus claim. Anyone who knows how to use IE's security settings, like myself, was able to block that site as soon as we discovered it.

I totally agree!  But there will always be those that don't want to use IE for whatever reason...and will bash it every chance they get.
Back in the "day"  I used Netscape Navigator...it had everything I  needed until they sold out..I hated having to go to IE...but after trying a bunch of other browsers that I didn't like..and once I gave it chance and learned about it..I never looked back.  To each his own I say....lol

Just an added reminder. Now would be a good time for everyone who logged in yesterday to update their passwords to something new. Just because, well, it makes good sense.

Not a bogus claim, as with a properly used NoScript the redirect didn't even occur, in fact it took a while for me to work out what all the fuss was about (problem wasn't obvious in FireBug, had to view the page source to see it).

Again, Firefox just has different exploits, it's not invulnerable.

no one said it is invulnerable. just less vulnerable to this attack when used with NoScript.

Airport security is a burden we must all shoulder. Do your part, and please grope yourself in advance.
