• May 2024 Office non-Security Updates have been released

  Posted on May 7, 2024 at 14:38 CDT by PKCano • Comment in the Forums

  
  Office non-Security updates have been released Tuesday, May 7, 2024. They are not included in the DEFCON-4 approval for the April 2024 patches. Unless you have a specific need to install them, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) approves them and any problems have been reported.

  Remember, Susan’s patching sequence and recommendations are based on a business environment that has IT support and may have time constraints on the updating process. Consumer patching should be more cautious due to limited technical and mechanical resources. The latter is the reason for the AskWoody DEFCON system.

• What’s up with the August office updates

  Posted on August 8, 2023 at 15:29 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

  Did I miss a month in the calendar?

  I thought Office 2013 was no longer under support as of April.  Not August but A-P-R-I-L.

  OH I see what they are doing…. it’s a “defense in depth” patch which is shorthand for saying that we clearly still see that a lot of you are using Office 2013 so we’d better fix it so it’s not used in more attacks.

  Proving once again that bugs will always be with us.  Once again more full analysis of what the risks are coming in the newsletter.
