You know that Web browser Internet Explorer 8 was launched Thursday, available to all, but what you may not know is that, just hours before its release, it was hacked in a contest. In the same PWN2OWN contest that saw the Mac hacked in 10 seconds, a researcher was able to crack IE8 via a previously unknown vulnerability.
