It seems that Microsoft are in the thick of the news at the moment. The global computer company have just released a statement saying that the Internet Explorer browser is un-safe to use due to a hack. The hack is focused on pulling personal data from users as they navigate onto infected websites. It is reported that almost 10,000 sites are infected with the malicious code and Microsoft are urging people to switch to any other rival browser such as Firefox or Safari for their own cyber safety.

The hack originates from China and it is reported that only a group of Chinese sites have been affected however this is predicted to grow very quickly. It is also stated that all versions of IE including, IE 5, 6 and 7 are all prone to this cyber attack. So watch out!
