Jaime Blasco, Director of AlienVault Labs, has discovered that Microsofts Internet Explorer browser is being exploited by hackers and cyber criminals. Exploits these flaws by searching computers for the type of security software that is being used, which can then help them learn how exactly to take control of them. Microsoft claims it is investigating other issues within the IE browser and is suggesting that users upgrade to the latest IE 11 browser to minimise the risk of exposure. Other browsers such as Chrome or Firefox do not have the same degree of integration so the exposure is significantly less.”]
