Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Tomorrow is Microsoft's Patch Tuesday, the day when the world's largest software company reminds the world just how vulnerable its software is to those online with less than honourable intent. This month, there's going to be a lot of patching to be done because Microsoft has discovered an even dozen flaws, nine of which are in Windows, two in Office and one in Exchange email server.
According to Microsoft, some of the flaws carry its highest
vulnerability rating of critical, which means the holes can be
exploited without the user even knowing about it. Patching the flaws in
some instances will require rebooting of machines.
The fact that Windows XP has been around for so long and is still full
of so many critical vulnerabilities that need to be fixed each month is
disturbing to say the least.
Last month, we were told by a Microsoft manager that the release of
Windows Vista would make Patch Tuesday a thing of the past. However,
even if that happens to be true, Vista is still very much a thing of
the future. Right now, users are stuck with XP and each month Microsoft
keeps reminding them just how wide open their doors are to potential
attackers.
