Flexispy.A Symbian 60 Trojan / Keylogger
This nasty litle piece of work is actually a commercial product named Flexispy! It records information about voice calls and text messaging sessions. The information is sent to a company server where it can be viewed on the web. Now, I can imagine many scenarios where this type of application could be used in a positive manner but lets get realistic and assume it will be used for nefarious purposes. F-Secure has all the details.

Unofficial IE Patches Available
Since Microsoft has announced no patch would (likely) be available for the latest IE vulnerability until April 11, 2006 two patches, here and here, have been authored. Completely unofficially of course but if folks must use Internet Explorer then best practise is to install one of these patches. This is not the first time folks have “stepped into the breach” to cover Bill`s a**.

Internet Explorer Vulnerability Escalates
Reports state that over 200 legitimate websites have been infected with the source code of the latest Internet Explorer exploit. This means that even “safe” sites could potentially harvest data from your PC. Again, for now either disable IE's active scripting option or use any other browser.

Internet Explorer Vulnerability
Microsoft is reporting an unpatched flaw in Internet Explorer that could allow evil site owners to take over local machines. For now either disable IE's active scripting option or use any other browser such as Firefox or Opera.
