Microsoft warns of Internet Explorer flaw
Here is another reason why you have to be careful when checking your email.
Microsoft has warned consumers that a vulnerability in its Internet Explorer browser could let hackers gain access and user rights to their computer. The flaw affects Internet Explorer (IE) versions 6 to 11…
Microsoft said that hackers looking to exploit the flaw could host a “specially crafted website” containing content that can help them do so.
However, they would still need to convince users to view the website for them to be able to gain access to their computer. They could do this by getting them to click on a link sent via an email or instant messenger, or by opening an attachment sent through an email.
