Peaches Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 4 November 2010, 13:39 Microsoft warns of zero-day hole in Internet Explorer Microsoft has advised that a zero-day hole in Internet Explorer can be exploited to infect Windows PCs with malware. According to analyses by Symantec, attackers have already targeted company employees and attempted to compromise their PCs. The attacked employees received an email containing a link to a specially crafted web page. At the end of last year, several companies, including Google, were infiltrated in a similar way by hackers who were thought to be Chinese (Aurora). Symantec has not provided any information about the originators of the new attacks. However, the specially crafted web page has since been taken off-line. Versions 6, 7 and 8 of Internet Explorer are all said to be affected. IE version 9 beta is reportedly immune.
