MS-DEFCON 4: A quiet December

ISSUE 20.52.1 • 2023-12-27

By Susan Bradley

I’m hoping that the relatively well-behaved December updates are a good omen for the upcoming patching year.

Given that December was quiet and many Microsoft employees are taking a holiday break, applying updates now is likely to be safe. Accordingly, I’m lowering the MS-DEFCON level to 4.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (20.52.1, 2023-12-27).
