My dear Windows (ab)users! It's time to get your patch chaps on! Microsoft today shipped updates to fix nearly 400 security vulnerabilities in its various Windows OSes and related software.
"August's overstuffed bundle of patch joy from Microsoft did not eclipse its recording breaking release of more than 570 security updates last month, but it is double June's then-record batch of nearly 200 fixes. Microsoft has attributed the recent patch deluge to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence, and experts roundly agree that Windows users should get used to the idea of Patch Tuesdays (the second Tuesday of each month) covering hundreds of newly discovered security flaws."
