internet-explorer-hacker-access-user-files

Are you an IE user? If yes then you should be careful as Microsoft just announced that IE flaw can be used by hackers to access your files.

Microsoft said: “Our investigation so far has shown that if a user is using a version of Internet Explorer that is not running in Protected Mode an attacker may be able to access files with an already known filename and location.”

A hacker can only access files that he/she knows the name of the file.

So far Microsoft hasn’t seen any attacks that took advantage of this flaw. They are still planning to repair this flaw so for now, we should be careful when using IE.

Microsoft Office 2010, beta version, Microsoft, Word, Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint

Microsoft has released an almost finished version of MS Office 2010 and hopefully will be widely released this coming June.

A beta version was released last November and was downloaded 2 million times in a span of 3months.

We can expect a lot of improvements in MS Office 2010 where its biggest addition is the companion, browser-based version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. Microsoft will also make it available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions :) Can’t wait to give MS Office 2010 a try.
