Another bad day for Microsoft. The fingers are pointing at China for recent attacks on Google’s network and other major networks, but the attacks were possible because all version of IE(s) were vulnerable to attacks. Microsoft is hard at work in patching up the browsers. Since the patch is not yet readily available for IE(s), German government warns the country’s citizens not to use IE(s) in fear of other hackers may try the same trick. Ain’t we glad we have alternative browsers? Here are few of them that you could try if you wish!
- Firefox
- Opera
- Safari
- Gnome
I know that there are more browsers than the ones that I listed above, but I’m not so sure about those browsers’ security measures. At the very least, Firefox and Opera and Safari and Gnome are browsers that are known for better security than Microsoft’s IE(s). To be fair, it’s a given that Microsoft IE(s) are less secured due to the fact that large portion of people in the world are using IE(s); this allows hackers to target IE(s) more than any other browser.
