Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday updates are crucial to ensuring the security of Windows systems, but they can also cause issues for users.
In the recent batch of updates, 83 vulnerabilities were addressed, including two zero-day exploits that were actively being used by hackers.
One of the exploits being actively used, CVE-2023-23397, was being exploited by a group believed to have links to overseas intelligence services. The severity of this vulnerability prompted Microsoft to urge system administrators to apply the patch immediately.
In light of these developments, it is important for all network users to make sure that their systems are always up-to-date with the latest security patches and software updates. This can help prevent potential vulnerabilities from being exploited by hackers.
