That is not a real exploit, it was a mistake. Yes, all of the top 5 networks made a mistake. Yes, news websites made a mistake. Yes, thousands of users were alarmed for pretty much no reason.
mIRC 6.14 is not vulnerable to exploitationWhat is vulnerable is a script which can be loaded into mIRC. It is a 3rd party script that has no affiliation with mIRC.
Please note the
Updates at
www.quakenet.org and
www.irc-junkie.org as they both state that it was a mistake.
Once again, to reiterate, mIRC 6.14 is safe to use.
