The news surfaced on Google news about Internet Explorer in Technology news and saw the title says “Homeland Security: Don’t use IE due to bug” obviously the title would catch anybody’s eyes and lure us to click it to read the article because that Internet Explorer is popular internet browser beside Mozilla Firefox and funny that the other day I wrote an article about internet browsers so that’s another reason it got me into reading the news about it and you can find my article about internet browsers here. After reading the article about homeland security advising everybody to not use Internet Explorer immediately got me to write an article here to let every one of you to know about this for when if you haven’t heard about it yet so here it is.
Homeland Security is advising every one of you to NOT use Microsoft Internet Explorer due to a bug because the bug will get into your computer that attacks your memory and then take over your computer which you do not want to do that and they are advising you to use the alternative internet browser and if you want to know the alternative browser I would recommend you to read my article about the internet browsers because I have listed all of internet browsers for you to choose but I would strongly suggest you to pick Mozilla Firefox as it’s the most safest internet browser but anyway, back to the subject.
They are advising that every one of you to not use Microsoft Internet Explorer until they release a new update which will include a security fix that should block the bug from getting through your computer. They said that %55 of PCS uses internet explorer which is surprising numbers I think, especially being exposed to the bug but the hackers who use the bug to attack your computer memory and take over your computer by using the flash player which heavily used on Internet Explorer which that makes sense and the hackers are calling their campaign “Operational Clandestine Fox” and Microsoft has confirmed that they are working to fix the code to batch up the bug but now there is no update or a fix and there may not be a fix for few days so until then please use alternative browser and keep scanning your computer for any type of malware and viruses to double-check that your computer is fine.
Here is the source, an article about homeland security advising Americans to not use internet explorer until Microsoft release a security fix or some sort of batch to destroy the bug and prevent the bug from entering: Homeland Security: Don’t use IE due to bug by USAToday.com.
EDIT: Now US is warning Americans to stop using Internet Explorer, in a rare case that US would ever warn anyone to not use internet browser! Here is the news article about US warning Americans: Stop using Microsoft’s IE browser until bug is fixed, US warns by CNET.com.
Want to know some alternative internet browsers? Please read an article that I made the other day that will help you to get alternative internet browser (I recommend Mozilla Firefox) by clicking this link: Internet Browser: Which one better?
Thank you for reading this article and please be sure to keep checking back here for when I am writing another article today which I should be as it’s the beginning of the day for me. I hope you all have a great day and be safe, stay cool!
