Microsoft released the latest version of Internet Explorer 8 in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu. Its security is one of the highlights of Microsoft's high-profile publicity. However, Microsoft was embarrassed that, just a few minutes before the official release of IE8, a German hacker intruded into a computer containing IE8.

With the increasing use of online payment methods, more and more people pay attention to network security. This year's CCTV 3.15 gala disclosed some cases of online banking user accounts being stolen. At yesterday's press conference, these cases were repeatedly mentioned, and Microsoft stressed that its IE8 has greatly improved security. Microsoft said that IE8 provides a series of powerful security protection measures, and its ability to intercept malware reaches 2 ~ 4 times. However, just a few hours before the official release of IE8, a German computer Major named Nils intruded into a computer with IE8 in just a few minutes, fortunately, he has also broken through the protection of many other browsers, so that Microsoft will not be too embarrassed.

At yesterday's press conference, Microsoft engineers gave reporters a detailed explanation of multiple new features of IE8, including its new tab design and "accelerator", all of which made IE8 different from previous versions, it is more informative and more functional. However, many Insiders pointed out that although IE8 is faster than the old version, it is still one of the low-speed browsers on the market, in addition, more changes are required in terms of compatibility.
