Annnndddd here we go again….

It’s Second Tuesday of the Month and Microsoft is releasing their updates:

Remember first and foremost to always update your browsers so ensure Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Tor, Edge, Safari, whatever you use is up to date.

Now onto the updates: https://patchtuesdaydashboard.com/

21 Critical

2 already in the wild and exploited

227 vulnerabilities patched

There is a “Secure boot patch” I’ll be recommending you defer at least until we know more about it. Impacting all the way back to Windows 8.1.
