New Internet Explorer Vulnerability Allows Hackers to Take Control of Your Computer

This weekend Microsoft announced that a vulnerability (now being called CVE-2014-1776), allows hackers to take control of Windows computers by taking advantage of “the way Internet Explorer accesses an object in memory that has been deleted or has not been properly allocated”. All versions of Internet Explorer from 6 to 11 are affected, and the attack is apparently already being used in the wild. If that doesn't make sense to you, here's the translation: If you use Internet Explorer to browse the web, stop.
