Today, IT company Microsoft will finally release a patch for the IT security hole in Internet Explorer. As we all know it, the vulnerability of the IT service was the cause of the targeted attacks against Google and other 33 IT companies. Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 have this vulnerability, but the one used in the Google attack was IE6. It seems that software giant advises Office users to disable ActiveX controls in order to have better security. "Based on our in-the-field detections, this security vulnerability has only been used in a very limited number of targeted attacks so far. The most likely attack vector used in the incidents seen thus far is targeted emails containing legitimate looking attachments or links to websites sent to high-level employees," said security firm Symantec. However, Microsoft has more details about the problem for curious IT connectivity users on its Security Response Center blog.
