POP QUIZ: "WHAT DAY IS IT?"

IF YOU ANSWERED "MONDAY" YOU ONLY GET PARTIAL CREDIT.

CORRECT ANSWER:

TODAY IS "ZERO EXPLOIT" DAY

Yup, another Monday, another Zero day exploit to confuse, corrupt, and generally make life miserable for you. Of course, this exploit affects users of Internet Explorer versions 7, 8, and 9. If you get this Trojan, it will drop what's called a "Backdoor" onto your computer giving them access to whatever they want. From Computer Worlds website, they also addressed the exploit, and I'll share a brief quote:

Rapid7 urged IE users to ditch the browser and rely on a rival's application.

"Since Microsoft has not released a patch for this vulnerability yet, users are strongly advised to switch to other browsers, such as [Google's] Chrome or [Mozilla's] Firefox, until a security update becomes available," Rapid7 advised in a Monday post to its Metasploit blog.

May Tuesday be a better day....
