IE 0day & AM Hack Update – Daily Security Byte EP.128

August 19, 2015 By Corey Nachreiner

I missed yesterday’s daily video due to an offsite meeting, so today’s episode contains two important stories; an emergency update to fix a zero day vulnerability in Internet Explorer (IE) and the latest update to the Ashley Madison breach. If you run a Microsoft network, or you know anyone that had an account on Ashley Madison, you’ll want to watch the video below to learn what you can do to protect yourself from attackers.

(Episode Runtime: 2:18)
