The patches for IIS have been available for about a year.
IIS is pretty secure as long as you keep up with the
patches and practice good systems administration like
only allowing necessary ports through the firewall and
removing unnecessary services from the server. 

It's too bad there are idiots out there who don't 
patch their servers.
