• Going up to MS-DEFCON 2

    In anticipation of the Black Tuesday patches coming shortly (probably on Wednesday, for most folks), I’m raising the flag and moving us up to MS-DEFCON 2.

    Take a few moments to make sure that Automatic Updates are turned off for all of your machines. Then watch here for the all-clear.

    Let the other guys test Microsoft’s patches for you.

    MS-DEFCON 2: Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don’t do it.
