Late last month, security scientists discovered that Microsoft’s internet explorer 8 was been subjugated. The invader would remotely send malicious executable codes on a targeted computers.
The database the web site had links to was used by an earlier Energy department employee that had been employed with the nuclear weapons.

They also noticed that DoL looked like they have been redirecting users to another website that installed a version of Trojan on the targeted victim’s computer.
Until Microsoft issues a patch for this vulnerability, it would be recommended to use another browser for the time being.
Microsoft issued a security advisory for internet explorer 8 and accepted the exploitation. They also mentioned that the versions 6 / 7 / 9 and 10 are however not affected.
And such malicious code designed to take advantage of the targeted computer was discovered on a United States Labor department website.
The weakness exited due to the way the IE8 access an object in the memory had been deleted or has not been properly allocated.
This weakness could allow the invader to execute codes and may also corrupt the memory.
