Security Flaw in IE led to Hackers on recent attacks Google and other companies

Microsoft’s browser flaw exposed Google and at least 20 other companies to hackers in the recent computer attacks.

By setting browser’s Internet security zone to “High” the security hole can be closed – told by Microsoft on a alert confirming the weakness. The World’s largest software maker may also issue an update to fix the problem.

Microsoft pinpointed the trouble spot after Google announced earlier this week that hackers in China had pried into the email accounts of human rights activists opposing the Chinese Government’s policies.

The attack outraged Google. It plans to leave china unless the government backs off rules requiring Google’s Chinese search engine to censor some results.
