Internet Explorer, once one of the most popular web browsers in the world, has been found to have a critical vulnerability that puts users at risk of browser history hijacking. This exploit allows attackers to remotely track users browsing history, potentially exposing sensitive information such as passwords, financial data, and personal details.
Browser history hijacking is a technique used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to a users browsing history. By exploiting vulnerabilities in a web browser, an attacker can track and record the websites a user visits, potentially accessing sensitive information without their knowledge or consent.
The vulnerability in Internet Explorer could allow attackers to execute malicious code on a users computer, giving them access to the browser history data stored locally. This data could then be sent remotely to a server controlled by the attacker, allowing them to track the users browsing activity in real-time.
As Internet Explorer is no longer supported by Microsoft, users are advised to switch to a more secure web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. These browsers receive regular security updates to patch vulnerabilities and protect users from attacks like browser history hijacking.
