MS-DEFCON 2: Batten down the hatches for August

ISSUE 20.31.1 • 2023-08-03

By Susan Bradley

I’ve been tracking some side effects that Microsoft has yet to acknowledge.

With Patch Tuesday just around the corner, it’s a good idea to put your favorite deferral solution in place. Some issues I’ve been following for several months are finally fixed in the August security updates, but we’re learning about this only through hints in preview releases.

Set your phasers on stun: I’m raising the MS-DEFCON level to 2.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (20.31.1, 2023-08-03).
