Tech Tip Tuesday – Internet Explorer Patch

We don’t normally do patches for TTT but we make an exception for out of band patches from Microsoft. It does not affect Edge but IE7 through IE11 is vulnerable. A user can be owned by just browsing to a malicious site and the bad guy will gain the same rights as the current user. This is why you don’t browse as an administrator.
