No they wouldn't! They would have spelled it correctly...

And surely the iconic photo is of Christine Keeler, who didn't say that, rather than Mandy Rice-Davies, who did?

There's currently a lot of bad press doing the rounds about a vulnerability in Internet Explorer that has been used in a very specific way to target specific high profile people.

Here's the Security Advisory from Microsoft for a better read.

This advisory from the German government doesn't really help anybody out at all. In order to be be victim to this you need to be coaxed into visiting carefully crafted website with pretty much all of the security features of the browser and operating system disabled.

All browsers have risks and you're putting yourself at greater risk by using Flash, Java and Adobe Reader on a day to day basis than this.

Common sense should prevail. Don't click links in any emails that you get from an unfamiliar source.
