Hello all, Last week I predicted a patch-Tsunami. That was an understatement. The July Patch Tuesday was a tectonic shift that resulted in flaming lava-like vulnerabilities spewing out for nearly everything Microsoft makes. And then there’s the groundswell and tsunami…
Hello all, This week has brought a patchacopalipse with a surprisingly large number of vendors releasing critical or high severity patches to plug holes and defects. Microsoft was one of the top gift-givers with 200 or more patches for Patch…

Hello all, As if the growing menace of the React2Shell vulnerability undergoing massive ramp-up of active attack and exploitation wasn’t enough, this past week was Patch Tuesday for the likes of Adobe, Microsoft and SAP. But wait there was more!…
Hello all, You’d think that there’d be a bit less chaos a whole week after Patch Tuesday. Well, you’d be wrong. On Tuesday November 18, 2025, Cloudflare botched a routine update and took down major portions of their network and…
