  • Microsoft Teams stops working with Internet Explorer 11

    Microsoft Teams, a videoconferencing and communication service, will stop working on Internet Explorer 11 as of this Tuesday, December 1st. The end of browser support is part of Microsoft’s plan to shut down the old browser, which is already being replaced by Edge.

    Starting in December, Internet Explorer users will no longer be able to access the chat or enter Teams calls. Ending conference service support is just the first step towards closing other Microsoft tools in the browser.

    As of August 17, 2021, all other applications and services in the Microsoft 365 package will also stop working with Internet Explorer. Before that, in March 2021, the company will also close the old version of Edge.

    The company’s goal is to centralize all users in the revamped edition of Microsoft Edge. The browser is based on Chromium, which guarantees speed in use, and has a compatibility mode for old sites, which makes using Internet Explorer unnecessary.

    Microsoft recently started a move to start migrating Internet Explorer users to the new browser. Now, certain sites do not open in the old browser and bring an automatic redirect to Edge, which is already pre-installed in the latest editions of Windows 10.

  • Microsoft releases patch for Windows zero-day flaw found by Google

    Last month, security researchers at Google’s Project Zero released details of a zero-day vulnerability in Windows that was being actively exploited.

    Hacklers were taking advantage of a Windows Kernel Cryptography Driver security flaw (CVE-2020-117087) to gain elevated privileges in Windows 7, 8, and 10, as well as Windows Server 2008 and higher. As part of yesterday’s Patch Tuesday release, Microsoft has now issued a fix for the vulnerability.Known as the “Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability”, CVE-2020-17087 was revealed to Microsoft back on October 22. Ordinarily, Project Zero would implement a 90-day grace period before going public with details of a vulnerability, but reduced this to just seven days due to the fact it was in the wild.
