If a new zero-day exploit targeting these old IE versions emerges, systems would be infected in the absence of a patch. This poses risks to both end users and enterprises that fail to upgrade to new browser versions.īecause there will no longer be any patches for older IE versions, any security bug reported in these browsers will not be fixed, leaving these systems vulnerable to newly-discovered threats.

Last week, Microsoft ended support for older versions of Internet Explorer (versions 8, 9, and 10).
