"Nein nein nein nein nein!" Says Germany to it's IE users

Since the recent attacks on Chinese Gmail accounts, Microsoft has revealed that a security hole in IE was to blame which allowed for "remote code execution" from within the browser.  This allowed hackers working for the Chinese government to penetrate the Gmail accounts of several human rights activists in the country.  In light of this astonishing revelation, the German Government has issued a warning to all of it's citizens, urging them NOT to use Internet Explorer.  The warning covered all current versions of the browser: 6,7, and 8.  However, it could be assumed that the same warning applies for legacy versions as well.  It's about time governments started protecting their citizen's digital interests!
