Microsoft to tackle Internet Explorer Flaw
It is an accepted fact of the users being irritated with the close following of the web ads. Hence the disclosure made by Soider.io that the mouse movements of the user are also followed by the ads has unnerved the Internet community. A flaw in the JavaScript of Internet Explorer 6 through 10 allows h intruders to track along the onscreen pointer irrespective of the browser being the active app. or not.
So a word of caution to all the virtual keyboard users including some tablet owners as this can pose a security problem. Microsoft has assured that it will be tackling this issue and rectifying it soon. It will be talking to Spider.io with a focus on IE and condemnation of the two ad firms who have taken advantage of this flaw. It has been argued that Spider.io has created a ruckus as it wants to strike at competition. If any feedback is obtained from Spider.io it will be passed on. In any case there is no need for the panic antenna to go very high as this risk could be probably faced only with in depth idea of target PC.
