Microsoft Blinks, Issues Patch for IE on XP

shutterstock_247201768 Yesterday Microsoft issued a critical out-of-cycle patch for the IE 0-day vulnerability in security bulletin MS14-021. Contrary to past statements, this patch will cover Windows XP and will cover all versions of IE from IE6 through IE11. As all of the investments advertisements say “past performance is no guarantee of future performance.” You dodged a bullet this time, but it may be the last time. Upgrade now.
