We’ve published many posts on the security and privacy benefits of setting up a VPN on your computer, your smartphone, or even your entire home network. But there are lesser-known advantages that come to the fore if your VPN is super speedy. Want to know about them? Then let’s get started!

1. Watch foreign sports or TV shows

A familiar situation for many sports fans: having moved abroad or simply gone on vacation, you find to your annoyance that your beloved football/soccer/baseball/cricket/rugby… team’s games aren’t broadcast on TV there. The same catastrophe befalls fans of domestic TV shows that aren’t popular abroad. This issue may be solved if you can subscribe to digital broadcasts of whatever matches or shows you like in your hometown, but in other regions that service is likely to be blocked. However, the good news is that Kaspersky Secure Connection lets you watch what you paid for — wherever you are. To do this, when away, you need to select a VPN server in your home country and connect to it. That way you’ll be assigned a “native” IP address that will virtually teleport you home. You just need to make sure that both your local internet connection and VPN are up to it speed-wise. For fast VPN secrets, see the end of this post.

2. Bypass bandwidth throttling

In mobile networks, public places, and sometimes even home connections, ISPs limit communication speed, which is known as bandwidth throttling. You may notice this when visiting sites with videos or downloading large files: your internet runs much slower. This allows ISPs to save bandwidth and reduce the load on the network, but it also restricts your rights. Thanks to Kaspersky Secure Connection, which encrypts your traffic, providers and other third parties can’t see exactly what you do online or what sites you visit, and so they cannot throttle your bandwidth – however, if your ISP slows down all activities for all subscribers (blanket throttling), there’s no escape.

3. Play in the region of preference

Servers of many multiplayer games are distributed all over the world. Connecting from a certain region, you will play on the nearest server. This is done to minimize lag for all players, unite players from the same time zone, and lessen the language barrier in game chats. But this approach can cause issues too: for example, you might play at an “unsociable” hour, which means few suitable gaming partners on the nearest servers, or your team has settled on a very specific game server. Going online through Kaspersky Secure Connection in the desired region guarantees a connection to the best server for your needs. Of course, VPN speed is critical here to ensure low lag and fast data exchange, so slow VPNs and VPN protocols are a big no-no for gamers — which is why we especially recommend that gamers use our VPN, recognized for high speeds in independent tests.

On game consoles, setting up a VPN can be tricky, so console owners find it easier to set up VPN directly on the router — more on this at the end of the post.

4. Sidestep price policies

In many stores and service organizations, the price for the same goods and services differs significantly from country to country due to variances in pricing policies or simply different sales schedules. At the time of posting, Black Friday and Singles’ Day (11.11) are on the horizon, to name just a couple of shop fests. You can cash in on seasonal offers and save money by connecting to a VPN server in the desired country and thus changing your IP address. That done, logging into the regional versions of online stores, you’ll see local promotions and enjoy the best discounts.

To take full advantage of this, your VPN service should offer a wide variety of servers in different countries. For example, our VPN has more than a hundred of these, including in such exotic locations as Bangladesh, Liechtenstein, and Malaysia. With such a wide selection, finding the right server in the list can be tough, which is why the latest version of Kaspersky Secure Connection lets you add servers to a Favorites tab and quickly select the one you need.

5. Shop with peace of mind

Public networks — be it Wi-Fi at an airport, hotel, cafe, train, or bus — pose a number of risks to your devices. Among them are: third-party ads on websites; data harvesting of your online activities; the already mentioned slowdown when watching videos; and potential interception of payment information and passwords. It’s a real stinger to pay for extra baggage or window seats on your phone, only to see unexpected debits from your account after landing, right?

Over an encrypted VPN channel, none of that can happen. Nearby cybercriminals, cafe owners, and unscrupulous Wi-Fi providers can neither see nor intercept your online activity.

What’s more, our VPN can be configured to automatically turn the VPN on when connecting to unprotected Wi-Fi networks, plus you can customize the VPN settings for each Wi-Fi access point saved on your device individually. This makes it easy to configure which Wi-Fi networks need VPN protection, keeping you safe at all times.

And one other thing: if the VPN connection drops, Kaspersky VPN can automatically block all your network traffic until reconnection, ensuring your data doesn’t leak to an unsecured network.

6. Open geo-blocked websites

For both legal and security reasons, some sites choose to shut out connections from other countries. For example, many online stores aren’t accessible in countries they don’t ship goods to. The same goes for many municipal or government services provided online — access from abroad isn’t possible. If you need to use such sites, you need to point your VPN to a server in the respective country.

7. Open websites despite blocking

The opposite scenario to geo-blocking is when you arrive in a country where, say, Google or Instagram is blocked. By connecting to a VPN server in another country, you can continue to use your usual accounts and services.

Geo-blocking often creates the nuisance of having to constantly turn your VPN on and off to access certain sites or use certain apps. Kaspersky Secure Connection comes in handy here, too. By configuring rules for Smart Protection (on Android only) and Split Tunneling (on Android, Windows and macOS), you can forget about the need to keep toggling the VPN: it will activate automatically for selected apps, sites, or site categories (such as payment systems, banking sites, or online stores) or bypass VPN for apps added to the exceptions list.

What makes Kaspersky VPN the fastest?

Gaming, watching videos, downloading large files, and even conference calling all require a lightning-quick VPN connection with minimal latency and high data-transfer rates. Besides a fast enough internet connection, this requires three other jigsaw pieces: a high-performance VPN server with a strong communication channel; a sufficiently powerful client (your phone, computer, or router); and an optimized communication protocol between these two pieces.

To make our VPN the undisputed speed champion (it outperformed all six of the other VPNs in an independent test), we use the fastest servers (10 Gbps) and connect to them over the most powerful protocols: Catapult Hydra and WireGuard. According to our internal tests, Catapult Hydra is five to seven times faster than the common OpenVPN protocol in terms of connection speed and ensures exceptional privacy protection without data leaks.

Where and how to use VPN?

You can install a VPN on your smartphone, computer, tablet, and sometimes even your TV or game console. Most routers also support a VPN connection, giving you the benefits of a VPN across your entire home network all at once. Which of these scenarios is better?

For travel and business trips, setting up a VPN on your phone and laptop is a priority. If gaming or online bargain hunting is your thing, it’s best to install a VPN on your Windows or Mac computer.

For TVs, game consoles, and simultaneous VPN use on multiple devices, the encrypted channel is best deployed directly on the router. Our VPN supports the ability to connect routers using the WireGuard and OpenVPN protocols: the former delivers maximum speed even on relatively weak router models; the latter provides maximum compatibility even with older models. Simply go to the VPN section on the My Kaspersky portal, and under VPN for routers, create a configuration file by selecting the protocol and server in the desired country. Then upload it to your router’s control panel — and every device in your home network will automatically enjoy all the benefits of VPN.

Where to find the best VPN deal?

You can get Kaspersky Secure Connection either as a standalone product or as part of a Kaspersky Plus or Kaspersky Premium subscription. Besides super-fast VPN, your subscription comes with full protection for all devices — both computers and smartphones.

Fine print

Some countries prohibit the use of VPN as a technology, while others ban specific VPN usage. In addition, the license agreements of various online services explicitly prohibit the use of VPNs to bypass their regional restrictions. You should research the legal position in your specific case before opting for a VPN.

Maybe you do armloads of shopping on it. Maybe you skip going to the bank because you can tackle the bulk of your finances online. And perhaps you even pay your doctor a visit with it, instead of taking a trip to their office.  

The way we use the internet has changed. We rely on it for a wealth of important things. Now more than ever, which makes Cybersecurity Awareness Month more important than ever.  

Every October, we proudly take part in Cybersecurity Awareness Month. In partnership with the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) and a host of organizations in the private sector, we shed light on an essential topic—a safer internet. 

The time of the internet as a novelty has long passed. The internet isn’t just nice. It’s essential. To the point that it’s a utility, like power or water. With that, a safe internet is a must. 

Granted, amid news of data breaches and major hacks, it might seem like the notion of a safer internet is out of your hands. After all, what can you do to make the internet a safer place? 

Plenty. 

Extra awareness and a few straightforward actions can make your time online far safer than before. And that’s a common theme here on our blog. Even as new threats appear daily, you live in a time where you have some of the most comprehensive and easy-to-use tools to combat them—and keep yourself safe.  

With that, Cybersecurity Awareness Month comes with a quick five-step checklist you can run through. Set aside some time this month to knock out each item. You’ll find yourself much more secure from hacks, attacks, and identity theft in the wake of data breaches. 

Let’s dive in. 

1. Use strong passwords and a password manager to stay on top of them all. 

Strong, unique passwords offer another primary line of defense. Yet with all the accounts we have floating around, juggling dozens of strong and unique passwords can feel like a task. Thus the temptation to use (and re-use) simpler passwords. Hackers love this because one password can be the key to several accounts. Instead, try a password manager that can create those passwords for you and safely store them as well. Comprehensive security software like ours will include a password manager. 

2. Set your apps and operating system to update automatically. 

Updates do all kinds of great things for gaming, streaming, and chatting apps—like adding more features and functionality over time. Updates do something else. They make those apps more secure. Hackers will hammer away at apps to find or create vulnerabilities, which can steal personal info or compromise the device itself. Updates will often include security improvements, in addition to performance improvements.  

For your computers and laptops: 

For your smartphones: 

For your smartphone apps: 

3. Know how you can spot a phishing attack. 

Whether they come by way of an email, text, direct message, or as bogus ads on social media and in search, phishing attacks remain popular with cybercriminals. Across their various forms, the intent remains the same—to steal personal or account info by posing as a well-known company, organization, or even someone the victim knows. And depending on the info that gets stolen, it can result in a drained bank account, a hijacked social media profile, or any number of different identity crimes.  

What makes some phishing attacks so effective is how some hackers can make the phishing emails and sites they use look like the real thing, so learning how to spot phishing attacks has become a valuable skill nowadays. Additionally, What makes some phishing attacks so effective is how some hackers can make the phishing emails and sites they use look like the real thing, so learning how to spot phishing attacks has become a valuable skill nowadays. Additionally, using the power of AI, McAfee Scam Protection can alert you when scam texts pop up on your device or phone. No more guessing if a text is real or not. Further, it can block risky sites if you accidentally follow a scam link in a text, email, social media, and more.

Some signs of a phishing attack include: 

  • Email addresses that slightly alter the address of a trusted brand name so it looks close. 
  • Awkward introductions like a “Dear Sir or Madam,” from your bank. 
  • Bad spelling and grammar, which indicates the communication is not coming from a professional organization. 
  • Poor visual design, like stretched logos, mismatched colors, and cheap stock photos. 
  • Urgent calls to action or threats that pressure you to claim a reward or pay a fine immediately followed by a link to do so. 
  • Unexpected attachments, such as a “shipping invoice” or “bills,” which hackers use to hide payloads of malware and ransomware. 

Again, this can take a sharp eye to spot. When you get emails like these, take a moment to scrutinize them and certainly don’t click on any links. 

Another way you can fight back against crooks who phish is to report them. Check out ReportFraud.ftc.gov, which shares reports of phishing and other fraud with law enforcement. Taken with other reports, your info can aid an investigation and help bring charges on a cybercriminal or an organized ring.  

4. Multifactor your defense.  

Chances are you’re using multi-factor authentication (MFA) on a few of your accounts already, like with your bank or financial institutions. MFA provides an additional layer of protection that makes it much more difficult for a hacker or bad actor to compromise your accounts even if they know your password and username. It’s common nowadays, where an online account will ask you to use an email or a text to your smartphone to as part of your logon process. If you have MFA as an option when logging into your accounts, strongly consider using it. 

5. Clean up your personal data online.  

How did that scammer get your email address or phone number in the first place? Good chance they bought it off a data broker. 

Data brokerages make up a multi-billion-dollar business worldwide. They gather and sort data linked with millions of people globally—and then sell it. To anyone. That could be advertisers, private investigators, and potential employers. That list includes hackers and scammers as well. With your data, they can skim for your contact info so they can hit you with spammy emails, calls, and texts. Worse yet, they can use that info to help them commit identity theft. 

Good thing you can get your info removed from those sites. And a service like our Personal Data Cleanup can do the heavy lifting for you. It scans some of the riskiest data broker sites and shows you which ones are selling your personal info. It also provides guidance on how you can remove your data from those sites. With select products, we can even manage the removal for you. ​ 

It’s true, you can make the internet a safer place. 

How much time do you spend on the internet each day? Between work, home, and the phone you carry around, it’s around 6.5 hours a day on average. You spend plenty of time on the internet. And important time too as you shop, bank, and tend to your health online. 

Taking a few moments this month to shore up your security will make that time safer. Despite what you might have thought, you’re more in control of that than you think.

When I was growing up, I never gave much thought to the communications between my parents and my teachers. Typically, there was a back-to-school night; if ever I did something wrong, the communication was made in a phone call from the teacher or principal; and there were letters/results that needed to be signed by my parents.

Now, if you were raised in the 80s/90s and are a little bit like me, there’s a chance that your parents didn’t always see these letters/results and the letters maybe had a forged signature or two. To be fair, karma caught up with me on a few occasions and my son wrote a note to his teacher once as well signing it with “Love, name redacted’s Mom”.

While my son’s note gave all involved a chuckle, in all seriousness, technology has now enabled communications between parents and teachers and also teachers and their students. Likewise, there are multiple ways for students to connect with other students. With all these tech-enabled communications for school, there are multiple “human element” fail points – so being a security company with a blog, we’d be remiss not to offer some tips to keep you and your kids safe and sound.

Parent to teacher

Who remembers the pandemic? You know, the one that introduced us to the lovely world of remote learning. At the time, it was nice to see how the educational system was flexible enough to embrace technology quickly and assure that the kiddos’ education could continue.

Fast-forward a few years to today and the technology still has a firm grip within the school systems. As a resident of the U.S., my children are now using Chromebooks vs textbooks and there are various apps that the teachers use to keep us up to date on progress. There are a number of these apps and they’ll vary from case to case, but ours are Remind and Google Classroom.

While these platforms are very integrated and easy, they still also tie into emails. So parents should be extra careful to make sure that the sender and the links within mails aren’t malicious.

Student to teacher

The above-listed apps are also used for students to communicate with teachers; however, they also have the added level of an internal email that could be used to communicate with the teachers directly. While email in Google’s ecosystem should be locked down and be more of an internal messenger, it’s good practice to let kids know they should be cautious of what they’re sending to teachers, as well as the links that teachers are sending along that direct them outside their school’s ecosystem.

Student to student

Perhaps the most tricky part of kids going to tech-enabled school is that we live in a tech-enabled society. This means that (almost) everyone has a smartphone or other connected device and the ills that come with them – including messaging apps, social networks, a camera and SMS.

Perhaps the biggest risk that we have when discussing schools and tech is the phones within the pockets of our little ones. There are simply too many avenues for sharing that our kids can take advantage of. As parents, we need to make sure that we have them set up with a device that’s secure. And before you say it, NO – the device is not secure out of the box, despite marketing messaging. You should make sure that you install a reliable security solution on any device your kids use to help add in a layer of extra protection. Here are some tips that can help further securing the phone.

Sharing is not always caring

This final tip is for both parents and kids. Repeat after me: Sharing is not always caring.

While many applications provide the ability to share what you’ve received via various channels, when it comes to schooling, this should be avoided. Also, as mentioned, our phones are the biggest risk to us.

We literally have at our fingertips the ability to broadcast our opinions, thoughts, pictures, videos…  even what we’re doing on the toilet in real time and to the whole world. Sure, this is empowering, but it is also something that could come back to hurt us.

This is a lesson we need to remember as parents and also to impart to our children. Being prudent is a huge part of life: not everything needs to be shared. We all need to take a minute to take a step back and think about what we’re doing before hitting send.

Now, before I preach to the choir, I’ll admit that I often post stupid things: you can see this on my X, for example; however, I still think before hitting send. As parents, we need to let our kids know that the stuff they post could not only get them in trouble (broadcasting fights, illegal activity, etc.), but also that there are things that could hurt them well down the line in the employment space. As they say… the internet never forgets!

Previous posts in our back-to-school series have covered how to protect your child’s devices and explain the importance of cybersecurity in school. Today we talk about the core, and often unavoidable, apps used in modern education. This means electronic diaries and virtual classrooms, plus videoconferencing for distance learning. They are all insecure.

Electronic diaries

Electronic study-diaries and virtual classroom websites are used these days to help administer  the educational process. Educators use them to share lesson schedules, homework assignments, and announcements. And parents can see their kids’ grades, or even chat with their teachers.

The main problem with such web applications is the substandard protection of personal data that’s provided. In 2020, the attorney general of the U.S. state of New Mexico even filed a lawsuit against Google Classroom, citing the company’s alleged practice of collecting personal data from children and using it for commercial purposes. And in 2022, the Dutch Ministry of Education introduced a number of restrictions on the use of Google services in schools for the exact same reason.

Unfortunately, in most cases parents have no control over what services schools decide to use. The story of Google Classroom is by no means the worst. Issues with the service have been openly discussed for a long time, and Google has been forced to take note and beef up its protection. But, as a father of three, I’ve had the (mis)fortune of seeing other electronic diaries in action, where the situation with personal data storage and transfer is nothing if not murky.

What can parents do about this? Asking the school for all details about privacy and personal data usage in all services you need is a good start. And teach your kid how to leave as little personal data as possible on such sites.

Videoconferencing

The covid lockdown was a big eye-opener for many kids: turns out you don’t need to go to school! Lessons suddenly became more fun but for the wrong reasons: my daughter chats with her teacher in one window — and watches a movie or plays a game in another (or on a different device).

Such distance “learning” only adds to the worries of parents. Even before covid, we had to monitor what our kids were downloading, since banking Trojans, spyware and ransomware are forever sneaking in under the guise of legal apps — even in Google Play and other official stores. But at least in school they were less exposed to such threats, because internet usage was not generally a part of in-class learning.

With the distance-learning revolution, however, there are now even more apps on our kids’ tablets for us parents to fret about, as well as unlimited internet use for “study” purposes.

And although the lockdowns are long over, many schools continue to practice distance learning for some classes. Meanwhile, Zoom, Teams, and other videoconferencing platforms remain vulnerable to attacks. The most obvious consequence of such attacks, as before, is personal data leakage. But it can get worse: if a malicious third party were to gain access to a virtual classroom, they might show some decidedly “non-kid-suitable” videos.

And even if parents are versed in the safe hosting of video chats, they are unlikely to be able to influence the school’s choice of tools. Here, too, you should ask the school for an explanation as to why an insecure program was chosen.

In addition, you need to teach your kids the basic safety rules of using such apps. In particular, your child should learn to turn off both the microphone and camera when not required, as well as to blur the background and disable screen-sharing by default. And of course, your child should never accept video chat invitations from strangers — or communicate with any if they do show up uninvited to a video conference.

And it goes without saying that all devices your child uses should be protected with a reliable security solution — one that guards against viruses and personal data leaks on computers and mobile devices, and keeps your kid’s privacy intact. Remember that with your free annual subscription to Kaspersky Safe Kids as part of Kaspersky Premium, in addition to total protection for all devices, you get powerful parental controls over your child’s online activity and offline location.

The start of the new school year plunges many parents back into the traditional routine: packing the kids off to school in the morning, and helping with homework in the evening. However, this ordered life is being disrupted by new technologies, which are rewriting the rules of digital hygiene. As ever, the first who have to get to grips with them are the parents.

In this series of posts, we explain what cyberthreats should be front-of-mind for parents in the new school year. Let’s start with the fundamentals, with the hardware — that is, with securing the devices that today’s schoolchildren can’t (or can) live without.

Geolocation, or “where are my kids?”

When I was in school, the only way my folks could track my class-skipping was from the attendance register. Today, parents have it easy in one sense: they can keep a close eye on their kids using smart gadgets. The downside, of course, is that those parents are becoming obsessed with their little ones’ whereabouts and physical safety. Even tiny tots can be watched over by a baby monitor or even a doll. And to oversee school attendance, parents offer their offspring smartwatches and other wearable trackers.

There are security issues common to all these devices. First, in the rush to bring their products to market, developers often fail to test them for vulnerabilities. Second, many of these new devices have uncommon architectures. This can means that either there are no antiviruses for them, or there’s no available interface to put a security solution in place.

This plays rights into the hands of hackers, who can connect to a smartwatch and spy on the wearer, or download a Trojan onto it to steal valuable data.

In addition, a smartwatch or tracker is yet another device you need to buy, monitor its battery, wrestle with the settings… But wait! Your child probably has a smartphone already, right? (To keep it safe, check out our step-by-step guide on how to ensure its security.) So that means you can install the Kaspersky Safe Kids app (available for iOS and Android), which, among other things, lets you monitor your child’s movements in real time. The map simultaneously displays all of your children’s devices, together with the battery level of each, so you can see at a glance where all of them are and whether you need to call someone to get them to recharge their phone.

The Kaspersky Safe Kids home screen shows both where your kids are and how much charge is left on their phones.

By the way, you can now get Kaspersky Safe Kids free with a Kaspersky Premium subscription to protect all of your family members’ devices from just about any threat.

Gadgets for study? We wish…

With the transition to digital teaching aids, parents face the question of which device to get for their kids. A mobile phone won’t do: small screens hurt the eyes. And to write essays you need a normal keyboard.

A shiny new iPad or MacBook Air, then? If it’s a junior schoolchild we’re talking about, bursting with energy, I wouldn’t advise it. An expensive tablet or laptop is likely to get smashed, along with your nervous system. Don’t even ask how many broken screens I, a father of three, have had to replace already. These troubles end only (if you’re lucky) when your kids become teenagers, when they’re likely to start to take more care of their devices — probably due to FOMO, since at that age social life is everything, and for today’s youth a huge part of it takes place online.

Maybe give your kid a hand-me-down laptop or tablet? Your wallet would appreciate it, but it’s not a win-win. Your old devices need to be scrubbed clean (digitally at least) before they get anywhere near your kids. For tablets and mobile devices, a full reset of all settings and data is best; for laptops — reinstall the operating system. And clear all traces of your Apple or Google IDs if you don’t want to repeat my wife’s experience: she gave our daughter her old tablet, which was still logged into all her accounts… linked to her bank cards… So after just a few minutes of play, our daughter went on an online shopping spree!

Another option is “school” tablets and laptops, which are simpler and cheaper models. Some of them, like Chromebooks, are even positioned as more secure. That said, many threats — such as fake browser extensions, hidden cryptominers, phishing/malicious websites — affect Chromebooks, too.

Wi-Fi freeloading is dangerous

A lot of parent-child conflicts these days stem from kids spending too much time online or visiting inappropriate sites. The most common method of control is to limit both screen time and screen access with the help of a parental control app such as Kaspersky Safe Kids. But some parents think it’s enough to just impose general internet-wide restrictions: when the paid-for data allowance runs out — no more access.

But this simply encourages children to look for free access on the side. And they’re sure to find it! Either a friend will set up a Wi-Fi hotspot on their iPhone right there in class, or a nearby cafe will let anyone connect without a password. Needless to say, it’s easy to stumble across a fake access point and fall victim to scammers.

There are two ways to overcome this problem. The radical option is to ban connections to unknown Wi-Fi networks on your child’s smartphone and block access to settings by means of an additional security code (for Android smartphones when using Kaspersky Security & VPN) or Parental Control. This should work for younger schoolchildren.

With teens, bans are likely to fail. So you’ll have to adopt the more liberal option of teaching your child the rules of safe Wi-Fi use. In particular, they need to know that a VPN is not just for anonymous browsing of dubious sites, but for encrypting the connection even when using unsecured Wi-Fi.

Get maxed-out protection

But no matter how you explain the rules of cybersecurity to your kids, remember they’re a lot younger and naiver than you, and therefore more vulnerable to online scams. That’s why it’s imperative to install and configure a reliable security solution on every single device you give them — one that will protect your kids not only from viruses, but also from phishing, spam calls and data leaks, as well as mindfully guard their online privacy.

Teu lila ti harita, rohangan média kaamanan IT ieu sakali deui pinuh ku laporan riang yén Microsoft tungtungna dikubur Internet Explorer (IE). Hayu urang recap carita panjang kumaha browser pang populerna di dunya ieu laun dipotong tina sistem rojongan hirup na, sarta nalungtik lamun éta tungtungna waktu pikeun girang (spoiler: éta henteu).

Internet Explorer: hirup jeung maot kronis

Kami ngingetkeun jalma anu henteu nyaksian (atanapi hilap) taun 2000-an yén, harita, Internet Explorer maréntah wéb, kalayan langkung ti 90% pangsa pasar browser. Hésé percanten ayeuna, tapi Explorer langkung dominan tibatan juara ayeuna, Google Chrome, ayeuna.

Nanging, ti saprak Chrome diluncurkeun taun 2008, popularitas Explorer terus-terusan turun. Urang tiasa nganggap 2012 salaku ahir jaman Explorer, nalika Chrome tungtungna nyandak alih. Kitu cenah, pangakuan resmi munggaran Microsoft ngeunaan kanyataan ieu ngan ukur sumping dina 2015.

Éta teras, sakaligus sareng sékrési Windows 10, perusahaan ngumumkeun yén éta nutup pangwangunan dina Internet Explorer sareng ngenalkeun Edge salaku browser standar pikeun Windows, nyirian fase mimiti mareuman IE. Versi asli Edge didamel ku mesin EdgeHTML milik Microsoft, modifikasi tina MSHTML (ogé katelah Trident), anu didasarkeun ku Internet Explorer.

Tangtosna, Edge gaduh modeu kasaluyuan IE. Sanajan kitu, Explorer, dina versi sabelas jeung final na, masih terpadu kana sistem operasi. Kituna dimimitian jaman browser dual, nalika Tepi jeung Explorer tos dipasang dina Windows, nu (spoiler sejen) terus nepi ka poé ieu.

Tilu taun ti harita, dina bulan Désémber 2018, sumping fase kadua: Microsoft ngantunkeun usaha salajengna pikeun ngembangkeun mesin sorangan sareng ngaluncurkeun vérsi Edge anu énggal, waktos ieu dumasar kana Chromium. Browser ieu ogé gaduh mode kasaluyuan IE. Sareng Explorer masih tinggaleun dina sistem.

Dina 2021, Microsoft ngarilis énggal Windows 11. Ayeuna teu mungkin deui pikeun boot sareng nganggo Explorer salaku browser mandiri — sahenteuna sacara téoritis. Sanajan kitu, Edge masih nahan mode kasaluyuan IE na. Sareng Explorer sorangan masih aya dina sistem, janten, saatos ngulik éta, masih tiasa dijalankeun.

Sababaraha taun saatos éta, nembé Pébruari 2023, aya warta yén Microsoft tungtungna maéhan Explorer dina pembaruan pangénggalna. Kudéta, ngeureunkeun kasangsaraan anu kejam ieu. Tapi, dina pamariksaan anu langkung caket, tétéla yén anjing kolot éta masih ngambekan!…

Nonaktipkeun henteu hartosna ngahapus

Hal kahiji anu sadar ngeunaan apdet Windows nyaeta aranjeunna henteu ngahapus Explorer tina sistem operasi; anjeunna mareuman eta. Dina prakna, ieu ngandung harti yén Explorer henteu tiasa deui diluncurkeun salaku browser mandiri (waktos ieu pasti). Nanging, Edge, sacara resmi hiji-hijina browser dina Windows, masih gaduh mode anu cocog sareng IE. Ieu ngandung harti yén Explorer masih hirup – lamun teu cukup najong di: eta aya ngan pikeun mastikeun operasi mode ieu.

Ayeuna upami anjeun nyobian muka Explorer, Edge bakal dijalankeun. Sareng di jerona, upami anjeun hoyong, anjeun tiasa milih modeu kasaluyuan IE. Hasilna, Explorer bakal terus nyicingan Windows nepi ka ahirna Microsoft mutuskeun pikeun ngubur mode kasaluyuan IE.

Patch pikeun nganonaktipkeun IE henteu tiasa dianggo dina sadaya sistem

Komo mareuman Explorer henteu mutlak. Aya ton sistem operasi anu dibebaskeun tina kéngingkeun apdet anu maéhan IE. Microsoft parantos nyebarkeun daptar pengecualian ieu:

  • Windows 8.1
  • Windows 7 Extended Security Update (ESU)
  • Windows Server Semi-Annual Channel (SAC), sadaya vérsi
  • Windows 10 IoT Long Term Service Channel (LTSC), sadaya vérsi
  • Windows Server LTSC, sadaya vérsi
  • Windows 10 LTSC klien, sadaya vérsi
  • Windows 10 Édisi Pamaréntah Cina

Dina basa sejen, pamaké sistem operasi ieu malah teu narima parobahan disebutkeun di luhur. Aranjeunna masih tiasa ngajalankeun Internet Explorer salaku browser mandiri.

Naon masalahna?

Masalahna nyaéta sapanjang sareng browser anu luntur pisan, sadaya kerentananna (tambah anu henteu acan kapendak) bakal tetep aya dina sistem. Hiji-hijina bédana nyata antara nganonaktipkeun IE “saméméh” jeung “sanggeus” éta bisa jadi bit leuwih hese mangpaatkeun browser rentan ieu dina tipe tangtu serangan.

Salaku ilustrasi anu jelas ngeunaan naon anu salah, urang tiasa nginget kerentanan CVE-2021-40444. Kapanggih dina mesin MSHTML Internet Explorer dina 2021. Naon deui, dina waktos éta kapanggih, kerentanan ieu parantos dieksploitasi dina serangan ngalawan pangguna Microsoft Office. Panyerang ngalengkepan dokumén Office sareng elemen ActiveX anu jahat, anu ngamungkinkeun palaksanaan kode jauh saatos pangguna muka file trojan.

Naha Microsoft henteu ngubur Explorer keur alus? Masalahna nyaéta panyungsi ieu mangrupikeun hiji-hijina pilihan anu tiasa dianggo pikeun seueur perusahaan anu lami teuing, salami waktos éta parantos nyebarkeun akar anu jero kana infrastrukturna. Sababaraha perusahaan ieu masih teu tiasa pisah sareng warisan jaman baheula anu poék ieu. Janten, demi kasaluyuan (sapi suci pikeun Microsoft), browser anu satengah maot parantos diseret tina OS ka OS langkung ti dasawarsa ayeuna.

Kumaha tetep ditangtayungan

Tina katingalna, urang sigana bakal ngantosan sahenteuna sababaraha taun deui sateuacan Internet Explorer tungtungna leres-leres kaluar tina kasusahna. Ku alatan éta, iwal mun hayang ngadagoan MS tungtungna maéhan IE pikeun alus, (anu kami kacida nyarankeun ngalawan), éta hadé pikeun ngatur ritual panungtungan sorangan:
