| | Pwn2Own: Hacker busts IE8 on Windows 7. Quote: Pwn2Own: Hacker busts IE8 on Windows 7 in 2 minutes. Dutch researcher bypasses DEP, ASLR to bring down Microsoft's browser. Two researchers yesterday won $10,000 each at the Pwn2Own hacking contest by bypassing important security measures of Windows 7. Both Peter Vreugdenhil of the Netherlands and a German researcher who only would give his first name of Nils, found ways to disable DEP (data execution prevention) and ASLR (address space layout randomization), two of Windows 7's most vaunted anti-exploit features. Each faced down the fully-patched 64-bit version of Windows 7 and came out the winner. Pwn2Own: Hacker busts IE8 on Windows 7 in 2 minutes | Security Central - InfoWorld |

| | I agree, JMH. Although news, this is security related. (I just wish you & I would stop cross-posting each other.  I posted the Microsoft response in the similar topic I had started in CanSecWest Pwn2Own Victories.) |

| | I'm just saying that if people searched the number of redundant threads will dramatically reduce. @corrine: it is indeed security related but it also browser related. Should we add a thread on this to Browsers and Mail as well? |
