German Government Urges Citizens to Stop Using IE

It looks like the recent attack against Google has caused the German Government to urge all IE users to stop using that browser. A couple of days ago, McAfee released a detailed report regarding the cyber-attack on Google and other major technology companies, stating that there is a flaw in all versions of Internet Explorer, allowing hackers to gain complete control of the compromised system. Microsoft has also admitted that IE was one of the vectors used in the targeted and sophisticated attack. While the vulnerability that allow hackers to perform a Remote Code Execution is being fixed by Microsoft, the German Federal Office for Security in Information Technology (known as BSI), has warned its citizens about the vulnerabilities and urged them to switch to alternative browsers until the problem has been fixed.
