When Gary Baker and Foster Braun began the Internet Advisor Show as part of Foster’s Great Weekend Show on WJR Radio, 760 AM, Detroit, Lauren Baker was one of the first guests.  In May of 1998 Lauren, then 5 years old, appeared on the show with her dad to talk about the website she had created to wish her mother, Carol Baker, a Happy Mother’s Day.  The rest is history…as they say.

On May 3, 2014, Lauren Baker graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in kinesiology.  Knowing the Bakers, that is just the beginning of a whole new and exciting chapter in Lauren’s life.  All of us at the Internet Advisor wish her the very best in the brand new 21st Century.  Tear ’em up Lauren!  Go Maize and Blue!

Here we go again. A major zero day vulnerability in a widely deployed application, Internet Explorer, has been discovered. The usual cycle of discovery-disclosure-patch-announcement-exploitation has bee reversed this time. FireEye Research Labs discovered the exploit being actively used in what they have dubbed “Operation Clandestine Fox.”

The fact that a zero day in IE6 through IE11 is actively being exploited induced DHS CERT to warn people to stop using Internet Explorer until a patch is available. Millions of people stopped using IE many versions ago, so they are not impacted by this new attack vector. Of course all browsers have their issues; as Dan Kaminsky Tweeted “All browsers have 0day, and lots of it.”
