• Two new zero-days lead me to the same, old recommendations

    Posted on May 10, 2016 at 20:19 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Just a quick note. Dan Goodin at Ars Technica has an overview of two separate zero-day attacks that were just plugged, one from Microsoft, one from Adobe.

    The Microsoft zero-day has only been implemented in Internet Explorer. Lesson: Don’t use Internet Explorer. (Sound familiar?)

    The Adobe zero-day is with Flash. Lesson: Don’t use Flash. (Does that sound familiar, too?)

    Other than that, I’m looking for telltale signs of patches that should be installed immediately, and don’t see any. But I’ll look again early in the morning, and write up the results for InfoWorld.
