Microsoft notified companies this week that they will issue 16 Security Bulletins that fix 49 security vulnerabilities.
If 16 Security Bulletins (in 1 week!) or 49 vulnerabilities sounds high to you, it is. This is considered the biggest patch Tuesday ever.
Out of the 49 vulnerabilities 4 are critical & 10 are important.
If you are wondering what the critical means, in this case, all of the holes in the Windows software allow a hacker to gain control of your machine.
