Internet Explorer Security Notification

This past weekend Microsoft Corp. announced a glitch in the system will make Internet Explorer users vulnerable to malicious websites and hacker attacks. As a large amount of our customers are Internet Explorer users we wanted to give you all a heads up to switch over your browsers. While Microsoft looks for a security fix, International governments have advised Window’s users to avoid the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser for the time being. According to Microsoft, the bug affects almost all versions of Internet Explorer and puts Internet Explorer users at risk of malware attacks from malicious websites. This could give hackers the same access to your computer as you have. Yikes!

What This Means For Your POS

To ensure your computer and POS database safety Cafe Cartel strongly urges you to switch your Internet Browser immediately and from now on going forward. This does not mean your data has been exploited already, but will help prevent any further attacks from reaching your computer and keep your data and customer information safe.

How To Protect Your Computer 

Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) of the United States, UK and Sweden advise Windows users to switch to a non-Internet Explorer browser until Microsoft fixes the vulnerability. 

We strongly suggest switching altogether to a Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser. These internet browsers are both free and are the ideal browsers for running CCS support through.
