Patch Day, Kinda?! – Daily Security Byte

January 10, 2018 By Corey Nachreiner

Yesterday was Patch Tuesday, the day that both Microsoft and Adobe release all their cyclical monthly security updates. However, Microsoft actually pre-released some updates last week, due to the Meltdown and Spectre flaws. In today’s video, I quickly highlight some of Microsoft’s updates, but also cover some technical issues that have cropped up in their latest patches. I also quickly cover Adobe’s Flash patch. Watch the video for the complete scoop, and check out the references for details and links to updates.

Episode Runtime: 5:47
