What's Up with IE?

[arnisador]

We got a message at work this morning that MicroSoft has left a security gap in IE that's so large that our IT dept. has disabled certain IE functions, including those used in shopping carts at places like Amazon, until it's patched. Anyone know what's up?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Yup.

IE sucks.

But, here's the scoop on the latest problem http://buffaloit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=696

this is a newly discovered security issue?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

No, guess M$ has known about it for a few months.

 

[BlackCatBonz]

this is the javascript issue?

OK, thanks for the link Kaith.

I use FireFox when I can, but work is very particular about what software can be run on their machines.

I have the same issues with my Work and IT, only not for the same security reasons

Here too, I get cranky if I see anyone trying to use IE
