Internet Explorer vulnerability (in Windows only!)

Homeland Security is reported to be recommending against all usage of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, due to a zero day exploit of a serious vulnerability in ALL current versions of Internet Explorer.  It is recommended to use any alternative browser, such as Firefox or Chrome.

 

* CNET - Stop using IE...

* CNET - New zero-day...

* US-CERT advisory

* US-CERT Vulnerability Note

* Microsoft Security Advisory

 

There are mitigating ways to use IE (see links above), but by far the easiest solution is to use something else.
