IE6 faces the risk of being attacked
Security researchers warn that web users should be really careful because there is only one malicious code that attacks Internet Explorer that has just been launched worldwide.
The malicious code has appeared on the website Milw0rm.com yesterday (March 26). This exploit code targets a known vulnerability in IE.
If successful, the malicious code will allow hackers to control and run malicious software on the system that makes the mistake. Microsoft has released this security fix.
Independent security researcher HD Moore was the first to discover and publish information about the deadly security breach in IE last July. According to him, this security error could also be exploited to disable the browser.
In February this year, Microsoft released an update to fix bugs. Researchers at the time warned of the disclosure of information about security flaws that would power hackers to distribute malicious code to attack users.
" This security flaw has been used in many of the attacks that users have taken before. Now there are malicious code attacks on the same bug, " said security firm Websense.
Researchers at eEye Digital Security said the exploit code appearing on Milw0rm.com only works with Internet Explorer 6 and is completely harmless to Internet Explorer 7. " We have experimented with IE 7 and found it to be ineffective, "said Andre Protas, eEye Preview director.
Security researchers recommend users to quickly check and install necessary bug fixes.
