Derek891 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I came across this story during my browsing session this evening: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/01/ie_0day_widely_exploited/ "Carl Leonard, senior security research manager EMEA at Websense, commented: "Websense estimates that close to 70 per cent of Windows-based PCs are vulnerable to this exploit. Given the huge attack surface, the actors behind these campaigns are racing to target companies before a patch becomes available." "In addition, we anticipate that as more information of this zero day comes to light, the exploit will be weaponised and packaged into exploit kits rapidly, greatly increasing the number of attackers with access to this exploit," he added." At the end the author states that Microsoft may have a security patch available by Oct. 8. Hold your breath until then. Start every day with a smile and get it over with. - W.C.

Moderators hazelnut Posted October 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2013 ''Hackers just POURING through'' Bit of an attempt at attention grabbing going on there I think. Exploits are a constant threat. The baddies make them.. then the goodies close them. And then it starts again.

Moderators mta Posted October 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2013 Basic law of security; doesn't matter how proactive you are, there will always be a time when you are reactive. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.
