If you’re a travel merchant or any merchants using Internet Explorer we want to share this information with you.
As Microsoft ends support for anything older than Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), security experts urged IT managers to migrate to newer versions of Internet Explorer to avoid risk exposing themselves to a new wave of attacks.
Back in August 2014, IEBlog shared important information on migration resources, upgrade guidance, and details on support timelines.
After January 12, 2016, only the most recent version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical support and security updates.
Vista SP2 and Server 2008 SP2 users will only be supported on IE9; Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 users will need to upgrade to IE11; and Windows Server 2012 customers will need to migrate to IE10.
This will apparently ensure they get the benefit of Microsoft security updates and technical support.
Internet Explorer is one of the most commonly targeted platforms in the world for cyber-criminals, businesses would do well to get their house in order. Staying on unsupported versions will have a serious impact on your business.
