MS-DEFCON 2: Kicking off the new year

ISSUE 22.01.1 • 2025-01-09

By Susan Bradley

We’re less than a week away from the first round of updates for 2025, not just for Windows but for all our devices.

Although things have been relatively quiet at the end of the year, especially because many of Microsoft’s developers take extended time off over the holidays, we’ll soon be in the thick of patching. That’s why I strongly recommend deferring updates until we have time to study and test them. Therefore, I’m raising the MS-DEFCON level to 2.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (22.01.1, 2025-01-09).
