Microsoft Windows Patch Tuesday

November 14, 2007

Yesterday was “Patch Tuesday”, Microsoft’s monthly patch program for Windows Operating System. This month, they released 2 patches, one of which is rated “critical”.

Critical by definition means that a bad-guy could access an unpatched computer and basically take it over for his own use – send out spam, steal passwords and other personal information.

This means that Microsoft has acknowledged the exploit and has published the fix to prevent hackers from using it. Most users will either patch their computer manually or already have their computer setup with Automatic Updates, so they will not be at risk. However, this exploit is now public knowledge and hackers will be on the lookout for computers that have not been protected against it. So, make sure that your Windows computer is patched.
