DoHS Windows warning
p2pnet.net News:- As if the constant ‘critical’ and other Microsoft security patches weren’t enough in and of themselves, America’s Homeland Security has gotten in on the act.
Yesterday Bill and the Boyz announced nine ‘critical’ and three ‘important’ browser, Windows and Office-related security holes and now the DoHS is urging anyone who uses Windows software, “to install the patch as soon as possible,” says The New York Times.
The DoHS Computer Emergency Readiness Team was working with Microsoft to minimize the impact of the vulnerability and, “considered it prudent to advise the public using Microsoft operating systems to take this action,” department spokesman Russ Knocke is quoted as saying.
“It’s a proactive and prudent measure the department has chosen to take.”
