Malicious sites use JavaScript to build malware in browser memory
July 25, 2026
Back to all postsA recent discovery revealed that cybercriminals are exploiting a vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Edge browsers, which allows them to inject and execute malicious scripts using JavaScript. These scripts build malware directly in the browser's memory, bypassing traditional antivirus protections. This threat is significant for Canadian businesses as it can lead to data breaches, system compromises, and financial losses. To mitigate this risk, it's crucial for IT managers to update their browsers to the latest versions, enforce strong security policies, and consider using additional layers of security such as a reliable Content Security Policy (CSP) and endpoint protection solutions.
