AVG: the IE vulnerability has been exploited for large-scale attacks.

At the beginning of this month, Microsoft reminded the majority of users that there was a serious vulnerability in IE, which had been used by hackers to attack users. AVG, a well-known antivirus software vendor, said today that attacks exploiting the Internet Explorer vulnerability have begun to spread and are used to install fake antivirus software or Trojan viruses on the attacked computer.

CRO) Roger Thompson, AVG's Chief Research Officer, said AVG had received an average of 30000 user reports per day as of last weekend. "Although this is not the largest attack, it is clear that this unrepaired IE patch is increasingly used for attack activities," Thompson said ."

AVG expects that such attacks will become even more rampant in the next few weeks, hoping that Microsoft will fix the vulnerability by routinely patching the vulnerability on Tuesday, April 13. According to the AVG survey, this vulnerability is mainly used in two aspects: first, it is used to install false anti-virus software on the victim's machine, and then installed with various viruses.

Both IE6 and IE7 are affected by this vulnerability. Microsoft has provided measures to bypass this vulnerability and recommends that you upgrade to IE8 as soon as possible.
