Security Problems Persist with Microsoft

Posted on December 29th, 2008 by Urbain


Over the last couple of weeks, people who were using all versions of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer were advised that there was a critical security flaw in the browser.  What would happen is that their personal information, such as financial information, could be stolen if data was entered on a compromised website.  It is estimated that there are at least 10,000 compromised websites.

A critical security patch was issued and if you are working with a Microsoft operating system, should have received the automatic upgrade notice.  If not, you can get the critical patch at Microsoft’s download site.

There is apparently a new security issue regarding Microsoft’s SQL server.  So far, it has not exploited online databases.

Make sure you regularly update your Microsoft software programs and your antivirus programs.
