If you\u2019re a travel merchant or any merchants using Internet Explorer we want to share this information with you.<\/p>\n

As Microsoft ends support for anything older than Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), security experts urged IT managers to migrate to newer versions of Internet Explorer to avoid risk exposing themselves to a new wave of attacks.<\/p>\n

Back in August 2014, IEBlog shared important information on migration resources, upgrade guidance, and details on support timelines.<\/p>\n

After January 12, 2016, only the most recent version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical support and security updates.<\/p>\n

Vista SP2 and Server 2008 SP2 users will only be supported on IE9; Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 users will need to upgrade to IE11; and Windows Server 2012 customers will need to migrate to IE10.<\/p>\n

This will apparently ensure they get the benefit of Microsoft security updates and technical support.<\/p>\n

Internet Explorer is one of the most commonly targeted platforms in the world for cyber-criminals, businesses would do well to get their house in order. Staying on unsupported versions will have a serious impact on your business.<\/p>\n
