There is an un-patched vulnerability that affects Internet Explorer versions 8 and above. This is being actively exploited in the wild and attackers are using it to ‘snoop’ through users’ systems.
This is just another of multiple zero-day exploits in Internet Explorer.
We recommend switching to Firefox (or Chrome) and removing all shortcuts to Internet Explorer. Educate employees so they know it simply isn’t safe to use Internet Explorer.

I am a Software Developer, System Administrator, and consignment software specialist. I currently manage hundreds of consignment workstations, point of sale systems, and database servers all across North America and I am the developer of Peeps' Software, Peeps2Go, and Peeps' Consignor Login for iOS and Android. I've been helping consignment & resale store-owners since 2003. I started The Computer Peeps in February of 2010. Peeps' Software launched in 2016 and is now on hundreds of systems all across North America. I have successfully converted dozens of stores from all of the major consignment software systems. After 20 years of working with consignment stores, I understand the unique challenges consignment & resale store-owners face. From electrical issues in old buildings or strip malls, to advocating for them when their old consignment software keeps crashing.
