If their applications break because of an upgrade of IE (or even if the apps doesn't work with a different browser/operating system), I'm not sure their problem is with security.
It's true that after the attackers got the entry point, there are several thing wrong according to article (ie. "Four days after the e-mails arrived, administrators spotted suspicious traffic leaving a server." -- so they got a mail that used an IE vulnerability, and then a server got affected?).
- dkokelley 14y agoSure, once the attacker gains a foothold, targeting servers from inside the network is certainly possible, especially if the infected user has significant permissions on the network.
- reidrac 14y agoAs I said, that means there is something definitely wrong in their security policies. That should not happen. Ever.
