IE foi o programa mais atacado no 1º semestre de 2004

As falhas do Internet Explorer representam o maior número de ataques hacker no primeiro semestre do ano, segundo a empresa de segurança ScanSafe.

Segundo Roy Tuvey, diretor da SafeScan, "Há um aumento de 15% de ataques por trimestre, e o número está subindo. As primeiras falhas usadas por usuários maliciosos são as falhas de navegadores".

Microsoft Internet Explorer exploits represented the highest number of hacking attacks in the first half of the year. According to security company ScanSafe, the number one hack in the second quarter was Exploit.HTML.Mht, which was used to target almost twice as many organisations as other exploits.

"One of the things we've been surprised at is the growth rate of threats," said Roy Tuvey, director of ScanSafe. "There's been a 15 percent rise every quarter and the threat is really rising. The first thing exploited are browser vulnerabilities."
