Advance Notice for Patch Tuesday

Six security bulletins are due out on Patch Tuesday, June 12, 2007. 4 are considered critical dealing with fixing remote code vulnerabilities. A preview of the details of the upcoming bulletin can be seen here.

And on that note, beware of fake email notices claiming to be from Microsoft. As with everything Microsoft, scammers are sending out the notices in an effort to install malicious software on unsuspecting victims. Of course, this is not a new technique, but apparently it works, so it’s still around. If you receive a suspicious email, always remember to check the Microsoft security bulletin website before clicking on that link in your email.
