ONE THIRD OF INTERNET EXPLORER USERS UNDER ATTACK

YOU HAD TO KNOW IT WAS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG



After reports surfaced late yesterday about IE-10 users being open to a zero day exploit, it was revealed later that not only are IE10, but also IE9 users are open targets. With Microsoft not sure if they'll patch it immediately or just wait until the usual next patch date of March 3rd it sounds like twiddle-dee-dum-twiddle-dee-dee. 


"Microsoft is aware of limited, targeted attacks against Internet Explorer 9 and 10. As our investigation continues, we recommend customers upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 for added protection," a Microsoft spokesperson said via email.

So what do they suggest? upgrade to Internet Explorer 11, which leaves Vista users out in the cold, not to mention that there are still nagging compatibility issues with IE11.

Perhaps you should run Firefox in the meantime, while Microsoft figures out what they'll do, but whatever you do, surf the web safely -

'Nuff Said,
Brian
