A remote code execution exploit in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 was discovered in December, for which Microsoft has yet to release an official security update addressing the issue. It is recommended to upgrade to Internet Explorer 9 or 10 immediately. For Windows XP users who cannot upgrade, either install another browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, or install a temporary Microsoft “Fix It” solution until a full security update is ready.

Traditionally this included computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones, however the field is expanding to include an ever growing list of other devices such as home appliances, automobiles, and wearable technology. IoT devices connect to the internet via a wired or wireless network connection, but most of the newer IoT devices connect to the internet wirelessly via Wi-Fi.
