Internet Explorer patch released – KB978207

posted by admin on Friday, January 22nd 2010

Microsoft has issued security hot-fixes to patch a security vulnerability in Internet Explorer which saw Google fall victim to some targeted and sophisticated attacks recently. The vulnerability was unveiled when Google went public that they were targeted in a sophisticated cyber-attack. The breach, involving Internet Explorer 6, resulted in the theft of intellectual property. The hot fix is out of band from the normal “Patch Tuesday”, and WEBIT would urge all to update via Windows Update as soon as possible.

A restart of your computer will be needed.

All of our Microsoft based servers were patched earlier today without interruption to service.
