• MS-DEFCON 2: Initial reports on the August 2018 Patch Tuesday crop are hopeful

    Posted on August 15, 2018 at 10:11 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    But it’s still too early to patch. Of course.

    As long as you don’t use Internet Explorer or Edge, and stay away from Flash — admonitions you’ve heard here for years — you should be secure while you wait for the all-clear on this month’s patches.

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