German Government Advises Public To Stop Using IE
An anonymous reader writes "After McAfee's disclosure of an IE 0-day vulnerability this week that had been used in Operation Aurora, the hack and stealing of data from Google, Adobe and about 3 dozen other major companies, the German government has advised the public to switch to alternative browsers (untranslated statement). Given that the exploit has now been made public and the patch from Microsoft is still nowhere to be seen, how long will it be before other governments follow suit?"
Use Internet Exploder for web browsing, Use Outlook or Outlook Distress for reading e-mail. nuff said...ank
Still hoping for Gentle Treatment...
However, it seems that IE has some pretty good built-in protections that Firefox lacks.
Sir, your power of deductive reasoning is astonishing!!
Now if it was Firefox that was hacked, the previous statement would be in your favor.
Instead...
