Microsoft is finally unplugging the iconic Internet Explorer. The web browser was first released in 1995 as part of Plus. For this year's Windows 95. Versions and above were offered as free downloads or service packs and were included in OEM service releases for Windows 95 and later versions. 
 
The browser reportedly peaked in 2003 with a usage rate of about 95%. However, with the release of new browsers from other competitors, the user base has shrunk over the next few years. Development of new features in  
  
   Internet Explorer was discontinued in 2016 in favor of the new browser Microsoft Edge. This was the first time Microsoft had planned to slowly phase out Internet Explorer. Microsoft 365 ended support for Internet Explorer on August 17, 2021, and Microsoft Teams ended support for IE on November 30, 2020. Internet Explorer will be deprecated on June 15, 2022. 

 "The future of Internet Explorer on Windows 10 lies in Microsoft Edge," said Sean Lyndersay, Program Manager, Microsoft Edge. 
 
"Microsoft Edge is  faster, more secure, and offers a modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it  also solves a key issue of compatibility with older, older websites and applications," he said. I am. 
 
"Microsoft Edge has built-in Internet Explorer mode (" IE mode "), so you can access these older Internet Explorer-based websites and applications directly from Microsoft Edge. When Microsoft Edge is able to assume this responsibility, the Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be deprecated and will no longer be supported on certain versions of Windows 10 on June 15, 2022, "he added.

 This was also the only way to access today's popular browsers  that we are all familiar with. Therefore, netizens are becoming nostalgic now.

#$1.5M phishing scam

-

  The US Department of Justice has convicted a Nigerian national of participating in a business email compromise (BEC) scam worth $1.5 million. The Feds say Ebuka Raphael Umeti, 35, perpetuated the scam with two alleged partners in crime, using a combination of social engineering and malicious software to pull off the million-dollar BEC scheme. A BEC fraud involves phishing emails and deception to get businesses and organizations to send money or valuable data to attackers, usually over email. According to the DoJ, Umeti got involved in BEC scams as early as February 2016, when one of his alleged co-conspirators, fellow Nigerian national Franklin Ifeanyichukwu Okwonna, is said to have sent Umeti a phishing email template. The collaborators started to see success in 2018, siphoning $571,000 from a New York wholesaler and $400,000 from a Texan metal supplier. In the following years, the scammers started domain spoofing, signed up for VoIP numbers, and communicated over the gaming-focused

#Microsoft's AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it's on the open web

  Microsoft AI boss Mustafa Suleyman incorrectly believes that the moment you publish anything on the open web, it becomes “freeware” that anyone can freely copy and use. When CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin asked him whether “AI companies have effectively stolen the world’s IP,” he said: I think that with respect to content that’s already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the ‘90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been “freeware,” if you like, that’s been the understanding. Microsoft is currently the target of multiple lawsuits alleging that it — and OpenAI — are stealing copyrighted online stories to train generative AI models, so it may not surprise you to hear a Microsoft exec defend it as perfectly legal. I just didn’t expect him to be so very publicly and obviously wrong! I am not a lawyer, but even I can tell you that the

  An Australian man has been charged with running a fake Wi-Fi access point during a domestic flight with an aim to steal user credentials and data. The unnamed 42-year-old "allegedly established fake free Wi-Fi access points, which mimicked legitimate networks, to capture personal data from unsuspecting victims who mistakenly connected to them," the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said in a press release last week. The agency said the suspect was charged in May 2024 after it launched an investigation a month earlier following a report from an airline about a suspicious Wi-Fi network identified by its employees during a domestic flight. A subsequent search of his baggage on April 19 led to the seizure of a portable wireless access device, a laptop, and a mobile phone. He was arrested on May 8 after a search warrant was executed at his home. The individual is said to have staged what's called an evil twin
