MS-DEFCON 2: Microsoft and Apple betas near finish line

ISSUE 21.32.1 • 2024-08-08

By Susan Bradley

Hold off on updates from both companies until they are fully vetted.

With so much activity around forthcoming Windows updates, continued caution is recommended. That’s why I’m raising the MS-DEFCON level to 2.

I realize that the window between today and last week’s Alert has been brief. It’s just a matter of the calendar — more testing time was needed last month, and Patch Tuesday is next week.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (21.32.1, 2024-08-08).
