Hackers follow Microsoft patches with malware
Hackers have released software that could be used to take over Windows PCs that lack the latest Microsoft security patches. But while this code is dangerous, security experts said today that it had yet to be used by attackers in any widespread way.
So far, none of the code is being used much by attackers, he said. “Clearly there’s been activity on the exploit-code writing side, but we haven’t seen that translate into impacting customers.”
