A couple of days ago we wrote that the German Federal Office for Security in Information Technology advised German citizens to switch from Internet Explorer (regardless of the version they use) to an alternative browser for security reasons.
Now, the French government has issued a similar advisory, pointing out that Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 all share a similar vulnerability, which allows malicious hackers to remotely execute arbitrary code.
The fix? CERTA (Centre d'Expertise Gouvernemental de Réponse et de Traitement des Attaques informatique) proposes a switch to an alternative browser.
