RE: Half-Life 2 source code stolen through IE exploit

["Thor Larholm" <thor@pivx.com>]

There hasn't been an Outlook vulnerability for years, the only
vulnerabilities you can exploit these days in Outlook are the ones that
are caused by the fact that Outlook uses IE to render HTML mails.

Hence the speculation on my part ;)

Um, the way that site reads it was a buffer overflow
in Outlook.  The thread's author just mentions IE as an aside.
