Microsoft tells users to ditch Internet Explorer!!!

[Vulpix]

This is rich:

Daily Mail: Ten of millions of people who access the web using Microsoft's Internet Explorer could be vulnerable to having their computer hijacked because of a serious new security flaw.

The U.S. software giant urged people to switch to rival browsers such as Firefox, Opera or Safari, until the bug has been fixed.

Pathetic ...

The problem, first revealed last week, allows criminals to take over computers and steal passwords if the user visits an infected website.

As many as 10,000 sites have already been compromised to take advantage of the flaw, according to anti-virus software producer Trend Micro.

So far the websites, which are mostly Chinese, have been used to steal computer game passwords which can be sold on the black market.
Hackers can secure up to £9,000 for these passwords from fanatical gamers. But Trend Micro security researcher Paul Ferguson confirmed there were major concerns that the problem could be exploited by 'more financially motivated criminals for more serious mayhem'.

Apparently big companies can be honest. This is an entirely new move I never thought I'd see such a conglomerate do.
We usually hear about such multinational firms trying to hide mischievous activities or faulty products.
