Internet Explorer 'hit with new set of security flaws'

[p2p rules]

Boston-based Core Security Technologies discovered the vulnerabilities on Friday January 22, only a day after the technology giant had released an unscheduled security patch to protect users of the most popular browser in the world from the flaws used by the hackers who pried into the email accounts of human rights activists in China.

Two weeks ago Microsoft admitted that its Internet Explorer browser was the weak link in a spate of recent cyber attacks on Google and other technology companies in China.

Core Security Technologies claim to have discovered another set of vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer which hackers could exploit and use to remotely access personal data on people’s computers.
