Report Copyright Violation | Huge security hole in Internet Explorer! Switch to Firefox! Users of several Internet Explorer versions are being urged on Monday to switch to other browsers such as Chrome or Firefox amid news of a major security hole. According to Rapid7 security forum, a new zero-day exploit for Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9 has hit computers running Windows XP, Vista and 7. Zero-day exploits involve software that takes advantage of a security hole within a site to carry out an attack. This means that computers actively using Internet Explorer can be compromised by visiting a malicious site and give cybercriminals “the same privileges as the current user.” [ link to mashable.com] [ link to www.mozilla.org] |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: Huge security hole in Internet Explorer! Switch to Firefox! Security is an illusion. Computer, house or country. All you can do is make it as secure as possible. As far as computer goes 1 ditch everything MS 2 use live cd/usbs such as TAILS 3 turn off computer, router and modem when not in use. |
