Using Internet Explorer, Outlook, or Outlook Express on a PC? There's a new hack in town, ready to exploit cross site scripts like nobody's business. Do yourself a favor and disarm ActiveX on your settings.

When this new feature is added to all IE browsers, I suspect that Ebay addicts will slow auction website servers to a crawl.
