The recent (stale) news much around about the Google/Adobe hack a.k.a “Operation Aurora” is suspected to be executed successfully using a zero-day IE exploit. The exploit code is publicly available & Metasploit has also released a module for the same. So now you can expect lotta script-kiddies out in action attacking your corporate/home network.
