After all the talk from Microsoft about increased security it’s a shame to see that there are outstanding security flaws from mid-March that have yet to be addressed.
After all the talk from Microsoft about increased security it’s a shame to see that there are outstanding security flaws from mid-March that have yet to be addressed. That’s in addition to a new flaw uncovered by eEye. These flaws have impacted on Internet Explorer and Outlook (since Outlook uses IE to display messages).
After a rush of activity, Microsoft seems to have fallen back on its old lethargic ways with security concerns getting glib and canned media responses that mean nothing.
In this case Microsoft says: “At this time, Microsoft is not aware of any malicious attacks attempting to exploit the reported vulnerabilities, and there is no customer impact based on this issue”.
So it seems we’re now back at the old corporate policy that security issues were not a concern unless the problem is ‘wild’ and was directly affecting customers – sigh.
