Attacks targeting unpatched computers

Microsoft released over 21 security updates on June 13th. The day after that, many hackers starting posting detailed instructions on how to break into systems that haven't yet applied those updates. It is important that you apply all security updates from Microsoft or call us to make sure that they get done. All but two of these 21 updates were for vulnerabilities that would allow a hacker to take control over your system.

According to Microsoft, "the exploit code does not affect users who have installed all June security updates."
