Microsoft admit security flaws in IE 8.00
Microsoft admit security flaws in internet explorer 8.00 which give room to hackers to exploit the browser. IE was just lauhed last thursday and hackers turn their guns towards it.
The good part of microsoft is that the team responded quikly in 12 hours to resolve the issue. The patches will be issued soon to rectify the loophole.
Terri Forslof, Security Manager at security firm TippingPoint, who was present at the event, “MSRC…let me know that they had reproduced and validated [the Internet Explorer 8] vulnerability discovered by the mysterious Nils.”
Forslof won’t say what the security flaw is, but it’s bad news for Internet Explorer 8, which Microsoft has been touting as super secure. We’ll shout up if and when Microsoft rolls out a patch for Internet Explorer 8. Given its promptness identifying the flaw, fingers crossed it won’t be long.
