Firefox also highly susceptible to animated cursor attack

Eweek today ran an article "Firefox Still Sitting Duck for ANI Exploits". It means that Firefox is also susceptible to the animated cursor attack which Microsoft yesterday released a fix for, Therefore, be very careful what websites you're visiting if you're using Firefox until a patch is released. This attack only requires you to visit a webpage and not necessarily click on anything.

The malware can then be silently donwloaded into your computer and/or enterprise and obtain identity, authentication and enterprise information.
