Internet Explorer Vulnerabilities

Wednesday, 30 June 2004

I’m not sure how many times it has to be said, but I will say it again. Stop using Internet Explorer. Download a different browser, increase your security, and browse more peacefully.

Here are a few warnings. There have been tons before, there will be tons after. It will take thousands of people’s identities stolen, credit card numbers taken, and the complete distrust of Microsoft before people will actually switch web browsers.

• Internet Explorer Is Just Too Risky
• Net Attack Aimed at Banking Data (free registration required)
• The U.S. government’s Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) is warning Web surfers to stop using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) browser.

If you want more security as well as a better product… for free, download Mozilla Firefox.
