16Dec Security Warning: Internet Explorer
If you’re currently using Internet Explorer, please be aware that Microsoft has issued a warning about a current security flaw in all versions that is currently affecting around 2 Million users.
According to PC World Magazine, “So far most of the attacks have been geographically centered on China and have been used for the purposes of stealing computer game passwords. But with a flaw as gap-toothed as this, the possibilities of nefarious action could include the massive theft of personal information such as administrative computer passwords and financial data.”
Although workarounds are available, Microsoft has suggested using an alternate browser, such as Firefox, in the meantime. For certain government systems, which are still required to use Internet Explorer, workarounds are available. Your IT/IMO staff should have more information.
