Those crafty haxxorz are at it again, this time finding an exploit in the trial version of the Opera browser for the Wii. In hitting up the URL of a certain JPEG image, the browser can be made to crash, allowing malcode (we're assuming it's an abbreviation for "malicious code," we're not 1337) to be implemented. Of course, this exploit can be null and void if you manually updated your Opera browser to the latest version (which we're sure most of you have), but those of you still with the trial version might want to go ahead and update.
