OT: - PGP Outlook plugin - major security hole

[Stomper1]

A malicious e-mail can create a buffer overrun in Network Associates' PGP plugin for MS Outlook on Windows, which in turn can be used to run arbitrary code with the user's level of privilege. At a minimum this could compromise the user's passphrase and expose his encrypted messages, and at a maximum surrender control of the machine. Attachments do not need to be activated; merely selecting the malicious message is sufficient.

If you use this plugin, get the patch here:

I have been using Trilian, pretty nice.

I use Trillian as well, but what does that have to do with a PGP plugin security hole?

Trillian is an IM application (http://trillian.cc).
