Internet Explorer Flaw can be used by Hacker to 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.
