RIP Internet Explorer?

RIP Internet Explorer? 07/16/2004 04:49 PM
It's hard to imagine that anyone would continue to use Internet Explorer faced as it is with such massive security issues. If it were a car rather than a browser, it would have been scrapped. But despite very good reasons for moving browsers, people still aren't. Why? There are a multitude of reasons but by far the simplest is that average Joe doesn't know what the hell browser security issues are, or even that the browser is just a piece of software used for accessing the Internet. Thanks to Microsoft's spectacular decision (causing it to fall foul of competition law) to bundle Explorer with Windows, people don't know anything of any other browser. To many people, Explorer is the Internet.

An interesting perspective from a fellow Gnomie who believes that IE has finally had it, pure and simple. He even goes so far as to point to what the US-CERT (Computer Emergency Readiness Team) is suggesting for Internet users. “It is time for national leaders to get their heads out of the sand and recognize this threat to their [our] national and economic security, [and to begin] cooperating on a global basis to deny access…

Recently, our church made the switch to a new Web hosting service that offered us a database-driven site that we can keep updated through a Web interface. Strangely enough, the Web interface operates only under Internet Explorer, although it appears to be written in PHP. I've tried using the interface with both Firefox and Konqueror. It sort of works, but I need it to really work, so I'm stuck with IE. (Maybe that's why I'm the church's unofficial Web master.) After working with the world's most popular Web browser, I wonder why so many people put up with it.

New Internet Explorer exploit

New Internet Explorer exploit 06/29/2004 06:44 PM
Browser hijackers continue to be on the rise. The latest is a toolbar called ILookup. This hijacker works quickly to install unwanted software that changes the user’s homepage in addition to creating pornographic pop-up ads on the infected computer. Initially, it must have simply appeared to be “just another piece of spyware” to contend with. A Dutch security researcher read about this browser hijacker from an email he had received and decided to poke around a little to see what made it tick. As it turns out, it takes advantage of a previously unknown exploit from within Internet Explorer (Ya, there is shock). Understandably, Microsoft is quite upset about the use of this exploit. Stephen Toulouse, security program manager for Microsoft, referred to ILookup’s tactics as a criminal act. Now, I understand why Microsoft would get so angry about someone making use of Internet Explorer’s shortcomings, but it would be a lot more convincing if we began to see them actually do something to redo IE rather than simply making “quick fixes” with these patches that they keep offering through the Windows Update website. Hint, hint Microsoft.

Brian Livingston says, “I’m afraid it’s time this week for me to speak the unspeakable — you have to stop using Internet Explorer. You have to stop using it now….I sense that enterprises across America and around the world are just now beginning to entertain the idea of abandoning IE and investing in other browsers instead. It’s remarkable to think that a software company as successful as Microsoft might actually blow a 95% penetration rate…

Stop Using Internet Explorer

Stop Using Internet Explorer 07/06/2004 12:02 PM

Stephen Wildstrom (Business Week): Why I'm Staying Away From Internet Explorer. In late June network security experts saw one of their worst fears realized. Attackers exploited a pair of known but unpatched flaws in Microsoft's (MSFT ) Web server and Internet Explorer browser to compromise seemingly safe Web sites. People who browsed the sites using Windows computers -- without downloading anything -- were infected with malicious code. I've been increasingly concerned about IE's endless security problems, and this episode has convinced me that the program is simply too dangerous for routine use.

Seriously. This is not just Open Source zealotry. It is dangerous to your financial security to use Internet Explorer to browse the web. From an article on CNET: Security researchers warned Web surfers on Thursday to be on their guard after uncovering evidence that widespread Web server compromises have turned corporate home pages into points of digital infection. The researchers believe that online organized crime groups are breaking into Web servers, surreptitiously inserting code that takes advantage of two flaws in Internet Explorer that Microsoft has not yet fixed. Those flaws allow the Web server to install a program that takes control of the user's computer.... ... This time, however, the flaws affect every user of Internet Explorer, because Microsoft has not yet released a patch. Moreover, the infectious Web sites are not just those of minor companies inhabiting the backwaters of the Web, but major firms, including some banks ... the malicious program uploaded to a victim's computer is not currently detected as a virus by most antivirus software. With no patch from Microsoft, that leaves Internet Explorer users vulnerable. ... That server uses the pair of Microsoft Internet Explorer vulnerabilities to upload and execute a remote access Trojan horse, RAT, to the victim's PC. The software records the victim's keystrokes and opens a backdoor in the system's security to allow the attacker to access the computer.. There are lots of other good choices for a browser. I am currently using Firefox 0.8, and find it much better than IE, especially after adding the Ad-block and Tabbrowser extensions. Highly recommended. Found via Techdirt....
