    ISSUE 20.26.1 • 2023-06-27
    MS-DEFCON 4

    By Susan Bradley

    If you recall, earlier this month Microsoft released an update that needed some additional steps — manually adding registry keys — to fully protect your machine.

    My position on this matter has been that I did not recommend taking the additional steps unless you knew that you or your firm was specifically being targeted. Microsoft’s notes indicated that it would be releasing a future update that would not require manual intervention — and that if you did not install it, you might experience side effects.

    Microsoft did not provide any hints about which side effects. Helpful, don’t you think?

    Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (20.26.1, 2023-06-27).
