Internet Explorer 11 Gains HTTP Strict Transport Security In Windows 7 and 8.1
Mark Wilson writes: Anyone using the Windows 10 preview has had a chance to use the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) in Microsoft Edge, and today the security feature comes to Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. This security protocol protects against man-in-the-middle attacks and is being delivered to users of older version of Windows through an update in the form of KB 3058515.
Oh for fuck's sake, at least read up on HSTS before you reach for the knee-jerk reaction to karma whore.
Li'l hint: Karma whoring only works by saying what you think the groupthink will agree with if you manage to not look like a complete moron in the process. Like, say, by showing off that you know exactly zero about the topic at hand.
A more sensible Karma whoring on the topic would be "Oh great, MS finally woke up and implemented what everyone else already had at the very least a year ago. And that qualifies as news on Slashdot these days, when MS implements something everyone else already has?". There you have MS bashing and /. bashing rolled into a single posting. Guaranteed to give you more up-mods than you could ever need.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Oh great, MS finally woke up and implemented what everyone else already had at the very least a year ago.
Also how low has Slashdot fallen that we now qualify MS getting something that everyone else already has as "news"?
