Techradar posted a story that Microsoft is investigating a 'mouse tracking' flaw in Internet Explorer
A new report surfaced on Wednesday indicating there was a massive flaw in Internet Explorer which allowed mouse cursor movement to be tracked.
The apparent JavaScript problem allowed IE to detect mouse movements even when a window was inactive or minimized.
Analytic firm Spider.IO found Internet Explorer 6 through 10 were guilty of the flaw, and even claimed, "the vulnerability is notable because it compromises the security of virtual keyboards and virtual keypads."
