Security risks swell for Microsoft's Explorer | |
|
||
| Time: 10:31 EST/15:31 GMT | News Source: USA Today | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||

Using Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser to surf the Internet has become a marked risk — even with the latest security patches installed. That's the upshot of the discovery of yet another Internet Explorer security hole being exploited by intruders bent on swiping personal information from unwitting Internet users. The SANS Institute Internet Storm Center issued an alert this week about pop-up ads designed to download a program that keeps track any time a PC user clicks to the log-in page of 50 financial institutions worldwide. The program captures log-in information and sends it to another Web site, before the bank can encrypt the data. | ||

The US Department of Homeland Security says dump internet explorer:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=74&e=3&u=/cmp/20040702/tc_cmp/22103407 Old news.. but CERT is part of Homeland Security :) "Sure ... send people off to use Firefox..." Parkker recommends Firefox!!! "A Citibank spokesman says the bank, with 2 million online users, took steps to protect its Microsoft Web servers several weeks ago. However, the only thing banks can do to stop the most recent kind of attack is recommend that customers stop using Internet Explorer, says Joe Stewart, a researcher at security firm Lurhq." http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-07-01-cyber-threat_x.htm "Mozilla and Firefox downloads have increased steadily since last fall, with the Firefox user base doubling every few months, as more people seem to have reached their threshold level of frustration dealing with problems with IE and Windows, and have found the Mozilla software a good solution to solving those problems," said Hofmann. "CERT's recommendation is just a reflection of the trend we have seen for quite some time." http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,64065,00.html Microsoft owned website recommends Firefox http://slate.msn.com/id/2103152/ |

#7 - IIS 5.x certainly had its problems... but IIS 6 is rock solid. (It was a complete rewrite.)
It's both the fastest and arguably most secure web server out there. I highly recommend it. The same, of course, cannot be said of IE. |
