IE8? Nice job Microsoft!

Here they come again, with their right new Internet Explorer 8. But just a few days after the great release Nils, a German Jedi hacker of the open source, has hacked the ultimate navigation tool wining the 5000$ and the laptop offered at the 10th annual CanSecWest conference in Vancouver, Canada.

He managed to break into Microsoft's safest browser yet using a yet-unknown vulnerability a few hours after IE8 was launched as the browser was running on a Windows 7 Beta platform.

By the the contest policies, details of the vulnerabilities are kept confidential until the vendor releases a patch. They say they will work closely with the vendors to solve the problems.

Up to now, Microsoft has released a statement saying that they are investigating reports of possible vulnerabilities and actions will be taken if confirmed.
