Public Service Announcement
Jul. 7th, 2008 07:37 amI'm not sure how tech-savvy my readership tends to be, but there's a Post up on CNet
about "gaping holes" in Internet Explorer's security. Put simply, there are
several known vulnerabilities in all the latest versions of IE (even
if you're fully patched) which hackers are actively using, and what's
more there's no fix on the way. That is, tomorrow is Microsoft's "Patch
Tuesday," when they release all the bug fixes in everything Windows, and
there's apparently nothing for Internet Explorer.
If you haven't already, check out Firefox.
It's not perfect, but it's a lot safer.
