Hackers get hold of critical Internet flaw
By Glenn Chapman AFP - 1 hour 25 minutes ago
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Internet security researchers on Thursday warned that hackers have caught on to a "critical" flaw that lets them control traffic on the Internet.
An elite squad of computer industry engineers that labored in secret to solve the problem released a software "patch" two weeks ago and sought to keep details of the vulnerability hidden at least a month to give people time to protect computers from attacks... |

Is there something that we need to point site staff to here? Can you be a litttle specific about this facililty available with proz.com hosting and how it relates to the vulnerability mentioned in this article?
Thanks.
