Google Fixes Security Hole In Chinese Software Tool

[HardOCP News]

InfoWorld is reporting that Google has closed a security hole in a recently released Chinese-input software tool.

Chinese security company Rising Co. said Google's Pinyin Input Method Editor (IME) presented a serious security threat to Microsoft Windows Vista users. The company warned users not to download and install the software, which lets users type Chinese characters by entering their Pinyin romanization equivalents, saying hackers could exploit a flaw to take control of a user's computers.
