If you use Internet Explore, switch browsers immediately. The HP Zero-Day Initiative (ZDI) security division has just published four critical zero-day vulnerabilities (ZDI-15-359, 360, 361 and 362).
HP's ZDI security department has a policy stating that researchers must notify them suppliers όταν ανακαλύψουν ευπάθειες στο προϊόν τους, αλλά τους δίνουν 120 ημέρες για να διορθώσουν τα σφάλματα.
If they do not fix them, publish the zero-day on the internet, aiming at mobilizing the company that is indifferent to protecting the public.
According to the information reported by the ZDI department, all the vulnerable points allow remote code execution and attackers could gain the same privileges as logged-in users.
What is very important to know is that attackers should persuade you to click on a malicious link. If you do not, you will be absolutely safe.
In some cases, however, they could use other scripts and tricks to get you to click on the link.
So security experts recommend that you stop using Internet Explorer directly until Microsoft fixes the security flaws.
