All Windows users should run their Windows Updates to apply this security patch in Internet Explorer.

If you’re a Firefox user, I recommend all Firefox users to start using Firefox for Organizations (Firefox ESR) if you’re not using it already. IS&T also recommends using Firefox ESR for all MIT application purposes. It uses an older stable version of the web engine but with all the security updates in place.

Firefox ESR can be found here:

Please let us know if anyone have any questions!
