Microsoft, the world's first software manufacturer, has recognized a security failure in Office and Internet Explorer. This error allows hackers to use internet-related Office parts to start programs, modify data, view files, or damage the hard drive. It seems that criminals must overcome the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol of Internet Explorer, but to do this, it is enough to create a web page that moves it and hide it in another.

Microsoft accepts the error but is not the only security failure, as they have also detected serious errors in other products or applications. To combat them is recommended the use of patches prepared by the company itself.
