An unpatched security hole in Internet Explorer which has been exploited by hackers could affect all internet explorer users Microsoft has explained today. When the flaw was originally discovered it was thought to only affect Internet Explorer 7 users. However, it has today been revealed that all users, no matter what version they are using, could potentially be affected by attacks.
It is recommended that all security settings on the internet security setting should be put on high and access control lists should be used to counter the malware. If users do suffer an attack from the malware than it is possible that data on their machine is accessible.
Microsoft has not said when there will be a patch available and their next monthly patches are not available until 13th January. However, it is expected that something will be released before then.
