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.
It's that time of the month again for Microsoft and this time Patch Tuesday will bring us a security update for critical flaw in Microsoft Office, plus two less serious but still important patches for Windows.
The patch labelled as critical for Office could allow a remote attacker
breach a user's computer without the user having to do anything.
Two further Windows patches have been labelled important, the
second-highest ranking for seriousness, according to Microsoft in its
usual pre-Patch Tuesday advisory.
Although two serious and one critical patch in a month are not an ideal
communication to receive from the company supplying the world's most
widely used software platform, it is a marked improvement on previous
months, where as many as a dozen critical and serious patches have been
necessary.
Last month, one of the vulnerabilities was so critical that an office
of the US Department of Homeland Security felt compelled to issue an
alert to users.
As usual, Microsoft will post full details on the vulnerabilities on
its site after the updates are released to users And as usual, users
are encouraged to implement the updates as soon as possible to avoid
fallout from zero day exploits.
