Microsoft is investigating a newly reported flaw in Internet Explorer that could cause the browser to crash when viewing a malicious Web page, the company said on Monday.
Microsoft and Mozilla have acknowledged that a security hole in their Web browsers could let an intruder nab files, but say it is tough to exploit and so not that high a risk.
As researchers pored over a vulnerability found within Microsoft's Internet Explorer less than a week ago, they discovered a totally new IE flaw.
An unpatched vulnerability in Internet Explorer could aid fraudsters in pulling off phishing scams, experts have warned.
Several popular Web browsers contain a vulnerability that could be used by cybercriminals to steal personal data, security company Secunia has warned.
Newly discovered security flaws in Microsoft's Internet Explorer could let attackers invade a user's PC, but a fix is not yet available.
But security firm also finds that Microsoft's IE is the only browser widely exploited by hackers today.
Two new Microsoft Internet Explorer threats haven't been patched and since one of them is addressed in Windows XP Service Pack 2, users may have to wait until the release of that Service Pack.
An IE flaw that was supposed to have been fixed in previous Windows service packs could still lead to a security breach.
Bank robbers don't wield guns these days, the mouse and keyboard have, instead, become the weapons of choice. And they're coming right through your browser.
