Security Update

FROM: SBC Internet Services
TO: SBC Internet Services Members
SUBJECT: Critical Security Update for Internet Explorer, Windows (all), and All Domains

Dear SBC Internet Services Customer,

Microsoft has informed SBC Internet Services of the following.

A number of security issues have been identified in Microsoft Internet Explorer that could allow an attacker to compromise a Microsoft Windows-based system and then take a variety of actions. For example, an attacker could run programs on your computer when you are viewing a Web page. This vulnerability affects all computers that have Internet Explorer installed. (You do not have to be using Internet Explorer as your Web browser to be affected by this issue.) You should help protect your computer by installing the update from Microsoft at www.microsoft.com/security/security_bulletins/ms03-040.asp.

SBC Internet Services wants you to know that although some anti-virus vendors have rated this as a "low" threat, other Service Providers have reported significant exploitation of this vulnerability. Please take appropriate action to protect your service and your computer.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

SBC Internet Services Customer Support
