    Microsoft IE man exits the building

    24 years a Microsofty Former Internet Explorer chief and 24 year Microsoft veteran, Dean Hachamovitch has left Microsoft. Hachamovitch was responsible for overseeing development of Internet Explorer for the last decade.
    He apparently joined Microsoft with the idea of making Microsoft Word cooler than what Apple was doing. Hachamovitch said that the company has really changed quite a bit since he joined in 1990, and that he was long overdue for a change. He was the general manager of the Internet Explorer team since 2003 and lead it through its boom times.
    In 2006, when IE lost market share to competitors like Mozilla's Firefox. Hachamovitch publicly took the blame for the failure of Internet Explorer, stating "We messed up". Last year he became chief data scientist during the restructuring of the Windows team. This time he used more aggressive tactics to improve the browser, dramatically increasing the security of Internet Explorer and sparking the adoption of HTML 5.
    His last act is to make sure that future IE browsers will use extensions used on both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

    Pelo que se soube hoje, o novo browser da Microsoft, nome de código Spartan, que não se sabe ainda se será um browser diferente do IE ou um IE 12, além de vir a ser uma app da loja, vai suportar extensões e além disso, vai suportar as extensões já feitas para o Chrome, apenas tendo o Dev de mudar as referências ao browser da Google. É uma boa maneira de ir buscar uma carrada de extensões de uma vez sem os Devs terem de andar a fazer tudo do zero.

    Internet Explorer 11 flaw leaves user credentials ripe for the taking






    Microsoft is working on a fix for a recently discovered vulnerability in Internet Explorer 11. The bug, which affects even the most up-to-date and patched version of IE, allows an attacker to bypass browser security, inject malicious code to launch highly credible phishing attacks and ultimately steal login credentials or other private information.
    The flaw was recently disclosed by security researcher David Leo. Described as a universal cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, it allows an attacker to bypass the Same-Origin Policy (SOP). This security mechanism is found in all browsers and is used to prevent code on one website from manipulating the content or browser cookies of another site.
    Leo demonstrated the attack using Daily Mail as the target and was able to successfully replace the site’s content with “Hacked by Deusen.” Aiding in the attack’s success is the fact that it doesn’t change the URL in the address bar so it still appears as though you’re visiting the intended destination.
    This could easily be put to use by a nefarious hacker to steal private financial information from a bank’s website, for example.
    The vulnerability has successfully been demonstrated on Internet Explorer 11 running Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. Attempts to replicate it using older versions, like Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7, have failed.
    Microsoft said it isn’t aware of the vulnerability being actively exploited in the wild and are working on a patch. In the meantime, the company urges users to avoid opening links from untrusted sources and visiting untrusted sites.

    Internet Explorer on Windows 10 will support HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), coming soon to Project Spartan




    Microsoft has revealed today that as part of the company's ongoing mission to provide an interoperable and secure web that "just works," Internet Explorer on Windows 10 and Project Spartan will both support HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS). Here is what Microsoft had to say:
    "As part of our ongoing commitment to help build an interoperable, secure web that “just works,” we're excited to announce support for HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) in Internet Explorer. This change can be previewed using Internet Explorer in the Windows 10 Technical Preview, and will come to Project Spartan in a later update," Microsoft stated in an official blog post today.
    So what is HSTS and what does it do? The HSTS policy protects users against variants of "man-in-the-middle" attacks that can strip TLS out of communications with a server, leaving the user vulnerable.
    "For example, a user may initially connect to a non-encrypted version of a website before being redirected to a secure connection. An attacker exploiting the non-encrypted connection could redirect the user to a malicious site. HSTS mitigates this attack vector by allowing sites to specify that the browser should always use a secure connection to the server," Microsoft explains.

    HSTS provides two methods for sites to secure their connections:

    • Registering for a preload list: websites can register to be hardcoded by IE and other browsers to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS.
    • Serving a HSTS header: Sites not on the preload list can enable HSTS via the Strict-Transport-Security HTTP header.

    Now, when a certification error occurs with a HSTS server, the user will not be able to proceed -- rather they must abort the connection. All content must be secure and mixed content is not supported on servers supporting HSTS.
    As of right now, these improvements are present in the January updates to the Windows 10 Technical Preview. Microsoft plans to make this security feature available to Project Spartan at a later date.

    Microsoft Man: Internet Explorer Had to Go Because It's Garbage

    The title says it all, but it’s not something you would expect to hear directly from Microsoft. The company decided to completely jettison Internet Explorer from the upcoming Windows 10 in favor of its new Project Spartan browser. The main complaint about IE was dragging the vestiges of older Internet Explorer versions that were non-compliant, creating unnecessary problems for new versions of IE (10/11).


    Recent versions of IE have included various backward-compatibility modes that force the browser to repeat the errors of earlier versions.

    Microsoft confirms the death of Internet Explorer



    End of an error
    Microsoft has officially confirmed the impending retirement of its Internet Explorer web browser and its replacement with Project Spartan.

    Criss Capossela, Microsoft’s marketing chief, said: “We’re now researching what the new brand, or the new name, for our browser should be in Windows 10.” Capossela explained:
    “We’ll continue to have Internet Explorer, but we’ll also have a new browser called Project Spartan, which is codenamed Project Spartan. We have to name the thing.”
    It seems Microsoft plans to keep Internet Explorer on for future iterations of Windows 10, however that’s mainly for compatibility purposes. But Project Spartan will be Windows 10’s default browser come launch day, with Internet Explorer the red haired step son.
    Internet Exploder developed a bad image over the years, which despite getting better was impossible for Microsoft to shake.

    As IE Market Share Falls Below 55%, Microsoft Pins Hopes On Windows 10 ‘Edge’ Browser

    All eyes are on Microsoft as it gets ready to release Windows 10, the next generation operating system that's such a significant upgrade, the Redmond outfit decided to skip right over Windows 9. Microsoft has a lot riding on Windows 10, though it's not just about the OS as a whole. There are subplots at play, like whether or not Microsoft's new Edge browser will rule the web the way Internet Explorer once did.

    For the first time in forever, Internet Explorer's desktop browser share is below 55 percent, having fallen from 55.15 percent at the May to 54 percent at the end of June, according to Net Applications. If we look back a year ago, IE was holding onto a 58.35 percent share. A 4.35 percent drop in 12 months is pretty significant, especially when Microsoft is trying to fend off advances by Chrome in the browser space.


    Speaking of which, Google's Chrome browser is up to a 27.23 percent share of the market, up nearly a percentage point month-over-month. More importantly, it represents a nearly 8 percent climb from the same period a year ago when Chrome's share was at 19.24 percent. At the current pace things are going for IE and Chrome, the two will be virtually tied in two years, and in three years, Chrome will have a 10 percent lead over IE.

    What's the big deal? It's true that today's browsers are free, so neither company makes any direct money by choosing one over the other. But with market share comes power, both in the form of advertising dollars in the search wars (Bing is the default search in IE, while Google is the default search in Chrome) and in pushing Internet standards. Make no mistake, both companies want as much browser market share as they can get.


    For Microsoft, the future belongs to Edge, the browser formerly known as Project Spartan. The good news for Microsoft is that Edge seems to be shaping up nicely. It has a clean layout, communicates with Cortana, is secure, and includes some nifty features like allowing users to scribble on the web.

    Are you planning to use Edge once Windows 10 ships? If not, what is your browser of choice?

    Quando é que este degredo do IE é exterminado de vez?
    Só consigo entender aquela percentagem por provavelmente existir quem não conheça alternativas...
    Respondendo à pergunta da noticia, NÂO e um claro Não, não tenho nenhum motivo para deixar de utilizar o meu actual browser para passar para o Edge.

    Boa tarde,

    Microsoft corta no suporte do Internet Explorer já em Janeiro de 2016, daí para a frente apenas a versão mais recente disponível para os sistemas ainda suportados terá atualizações. Abaixo a lista completa de versões do browser ainda suportadas dessa data em diante e para que sistemas.

    https://support.microsoft.com/pt-pt/...ernet-explorer

    Para o consumidor comum a versão mais antiga a ser suportada será o Internet Explorer 9, o que é um bom passo em frente. Mas para versões do Windows diferentes ainda irá haver suporte a versões anteriores como a 8 e a 7.

    Cumprimentos.

    Critical Exploits Plague IE11, Microsoft Too Busy with Windows 10 Development to Patch

    Four zero-day vulnerabilities have been discovered in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer as the company makes plans for launching its upcoming Windows 10 next week, on July 29.

    Critical Internet Explorer vulnerabilities:

    While you may like it or not, Internet Explorer is still one of the most used browsers in world as it comes pre-loaded on PCs, notebooks, and Windows Phones. Recent years have seen a strong shift to better and more safer browsers, but Internet Explorer still remains the default browser for many. Such a strong user base makes the platform traditionally a favorite place for hackers. The Hewlett-Packard’s Zero-Day Initiative (ZDI) has disclosed four new vulnerabilities in the browser that could be potentially exploited to remotely execute malicious code on the target machine. This remote execution of code is possible on your machine even if your browser is fully updated.
    These four bugs have been reported to be affecting IE11 on Windows Phones. The tipping point?




    HP reported these critical zero-day Internet Explorer bugs to Microsoft some six months back, however, considering how Redmond has stayed busy with the development of Windows 10, it couldn’t manage to fix the issue. Microsoft was notified of the first zero-day Internet Explorer bug on November 12, 2014 which was then extended to May 12, 2015 and then again to July 19. However, as no patch came to fix the issue, ZDI went public on July 22. Microsoft reportedly requested HP to give another extension of 6 months grace period before HP makes these vulnerabilities public but HP refused the request. Now published, we expect to see Microsoft responding to this more responsibly and possibly sending some patch our way too.
    We’re aware of the reports regarding Internet Explorer for Windows Phone. A number of factors would need to come into play, and no attacks have been reported. We continue to monitor the situation and will take appropriate steps to protect our customers. – Microsoft’s statement
    Microsoft is replacing the aging Internet Explorer with Microsoft Edge browser once Windows 10 is launched. However, Internet Explorer will keep serving the enterprise customers and, of course, the machines not updated to Windows 10.

    Internet Explorer Celebrates Its 20th Birthday


    The Internet Explorer isn’t the youngest application anymore, in fact, it could celebrate its 20th birthday yesterday. That’s quite a milestone and while it has been discontinued and replaced by the new Edge browser (formerly known as Spartan), it will undoubtedly be around for many more years on systems that won’t get a Windows 10 update. For a lot of people, Internet Explorer was just a tool to download another browser after installing Windows onto their systems, but the statistics show how many people actually used it and still do. And it is a lot.

    August 16, 1995. That was the date when Microsoft revealed Internet Explorer 1 as part of the Internet Jumpstart Kit that was included as part of Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95. Version 2 came shortly after on November 22nd of the same year and brought along the introduction of Cookies, SSL support, and Newsgroups. From there on there were many version until Internet Explorer 11 saw the light of day on October 17th, 2013, the final version of Internet Explorer.

    From now on it will be Edge and it has come off to a good start. While some do complain about it being memory hungry, other enjoy the speedy web browsing experience that it provides. Edge was officially announced in March this year, which also was the time that it got known that Internet Explorer would get the ax. Probably the best choice, even if they made Edge and called it Internet Explorer, people would stay away based on the name alone.

    Microsoft issues emergency patch for all IE versions

    Microsoft has released an emergency patch for all versions of Internet Explorer, due to a critical vulnerability that's reportedly under active exploit. The CVE-2015-2502 vulnerability is described as a "Memory Corruption Vulnerability," and can allow for remote code execution under the active user's credentials, leading to potential exfiltration of user data. If the user has administrator permissions, an attacker can gain complete control over the system.
    According to the company, all a user has to do is visit a specially-crafted website for the exploit to be triggered. All Internet Explorer versions from 7 to 11 are affected, and the vulnerability is rated "Critical" for all current supported operating systems (Windows Vista to Windows 10.) For server versions of Windows, Microsoft uses the "Moderate" rating, since Internet Explorer runs in Restricted mode by default on those operating systems.
    All users are advised to install the update immediately, either via Windows Update or direct download from the MS15-093 Security Bulletin page.

    Actively Exploited IE7-IE11 Flaw Allows Drive-By Malware Downloads

    Microsoft issued an out-of-band security patch for Internet Explorer versions 7 through 11, which contains a critical security flaw that allows attackers to infect users when they visit certain websites, with no action required from those users (this is also called drive-by downloads). The zero-day flaw is being actively exploited in the wild right now, which is likely why Microsoft pushed an update for it as soon as it was possible. The company credits Google researcher, Clement Lecigne, for finding the zero-day vulnerability.
    In the past, Microsoft wasn't too happy about Google giving it only 90 days to push a patch for one of its security vulnerabilities that was found by researchers part of Project Zero, but the company seems to have responded much more rapidly with a fix this time.
    According to Qualys CTO, Wolfgang Kandek, there are multiple mechanisms that attackers can use to deploy malware through this vulnerability, including:

    • Hosting the exploit on ad networks, which are then used by entirely legitimate websites;
    • Gaining control over legitimate websites, say blogs, by exploiting vulnerabilities in the blogging server software or simply weak credentials;
    • Setting up specific websites for the attack and manipulating search engine results;
    • Send you a link to the site by e-mail or other messaging programs.
    After the users are infected, the malware gains the same privilege as the user, showing once again how important it is to stay off Administrator accounts. With the Admin privileges, the attackers can gain full control over the machine and can install even more malware on it, if necessary for their purposes.
    Because Microsoft has just disclosed the bug, there's still time for attackers to integrate this vulnerability into their exploitation tools by the time most people update their Windows machines. That's why it's critical that all users update their PCs immediately -- or just use a browser other than Internet Explorer.
    Microsoft's new Edge browser in Windows 10 is unaffected by the bug, proving how necessary it was for Microsoft to break-apart from the Internet Explorer legacy and start fresh with a new code-base that's cleaner and more secure.
    Enterprises are likely not going to upgrade their users' PCs very soon, but if they use Microsoft's EMET tool, which protects against memory corruption bugs such as this one, they should be safe even when using Internet Explorer. However, this should only be used as a temporary solution, because EMET zero-day flaws may also exist in the wild that could make a bypass easier.

    Patched Zero-Day Internet Explorer Vulnerability Still Being Leveraged by Attackers

    Microsoft released an out-of-band security patch this Tuesday for Internet Explorer 7 through Internet Explorer 11. This patch contained a fix for a critical security flaw (CVE-2015-2502) that allows attackers to infect users when they visit some particular websites (all legitimate). Some attackers have leveraged this exploit, after the patch was released, to deliver malware to users through various legitimate websites.

    Microsoft did warn that the memory corruption flaw was being exploited in the wild. It had credited Google researcher, Clement Lecigne, for discovering this zero-day vulnerability in multiple versions of Internet Explorer. Following the patch, Wolfgang Kandek, CTO Qualys shared how this vulnerability can be exploited by malicious actors in different ways:





    • Hosting the exploit on ad networks, which are then used by entirely legitimate websites;
    • Gaining control over legitimate websites, say blogs, by exploiting vulnerabilities in the blogging server software or simply weak credentials;
    • Setting up specific websites for the attack and manipulating search engine results;
    • Send you a link to the site by e-mail or other messaging programs.

    As can be noticed, a website doesn’t have to play any role which is why legitimate websites are being used by hosting the exploit on ad networks or even gaining control of the websites taking advantage of weak website credentials. Once the user is infected, malware gains user privileges on the machine potentially installing more malware on it.
    Following the patch that arrived only two days back, security firms Heimdal Security and Symantec have reported watering hole attacks where attackers have used the exploit to deliver PlugX remote access Trojan (RAT) to the website visitors. Using legitimate sites to deliver malware, the attackers then aim to steal valuable information from the machines. According to the sources, the command and control (C&C) server used in this particular attack is hosted by a Korean company EhostIDC. This latest attack also compromised the website of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong which redirected visitors to a site (115.144.107.55) hosting the IE exploit. Citizen Lab spotted PlugX being used to target Hong Kong pro-democracy groups and Tibetan diaspora earlier in the year, reports Security Week.
    Microsoft’s Windows 10 Edge browser remains unaffected by this zero-day vulnerability. This helps the company make a statement of why it was important to kill Internet Explorer and bring a completely new browser which seems more secure.
