Feedly:TrendLabs Security Intelligence Blog. Trend Micro Continues Protection for Older Versions of Internet Explorer

from TrendLabs Security Intelligence Blog

Last week, Microsoft ended support for older versions of Internet Explorer (versions 8, 9, and 10). This was done as part of the January 2016 Patch Tuesday cycle; at the same time support for Windows 8 also ended. This means that Microsoft will stop updating old versions of the browser and from now on (with some small exceptions) only systems with the latest IE version (Internet Explorer 11) will receive updates and patches. This poses risks to both end users and enterprises that fail to upgrade to new browser versions.
