[...] during the last year or so, many people have been asking an
important question: Is RSS secure?

It's vital that this question be answered in the next few months—before
Microsoft releases its Internet Explorer 7 browser, which makes it much
easier for novices to subscribe to RSS feeds, and before it releases
Vista, which has RSS support built in. Both releases will have malware
purveyors looking for ways to exploit the products' RSS integration.
