According to SearchSecurity.com, a “bug” in Quickbooks online could allow a hacker to gain control of your computer.
The flaw appears to be restricted to those who use Internet Explorer with versions 9 or older. Intuit, the maker of Quickbooks, claims that Version 10 remedied this problem before it was ever announced to the public.
This little bit of news is a reminder that we must always be vigilant about security online. And have you noticed how many computer exploits target IE or are affected by IE but not other browsers?
Firefox appears to be a much better browser overall, for security reasons if none other.
