UAE Cyber Security Council Warns Microsoft Users to Update Devices to Prevent 139 Vulnerabilities

The UAE's Cyber Security Council has issued an urgent alert for Microsoft users, advising them to update their devices to mitigate over 100 identified vulnerabilities. This follows Microsoft's release of 139 security updates spanning various products, including Windows, Office, .NET, and Azure.

The council highlighted that some of these vulnerabilities were critical and had been actively exploited. Users are encouraged to promptly apply these updates to safeguard their systems.
