Zero-day exploit targeting businesses utilizing IE 8 and 9
If your business happens to use Internet Explorer exclusively, you may want to keep an eye out for a recent zero day flaw in the browser that impacts all versions. Though Microsoft has promised a patch is in the works, the exploit may be in the wild for quite some time considering the next security patches aren't due to be released until October 8th.
While the exploits seem to target mainly IE versions 8 and 9, researchers at Websense, according to PCWorld, have revealed that almost 70 percent of Windows business users may be affected by the zero-day flaw.
Until a patch is released, Microsoft is encouraging users to install the FixIt patch to minimize any possible damage. Are your IE installations at risk?
