Got a  email from Bit defender (still in my contacts list).  "...Microsoft just issued a critical security update patching a major security vulnerability that could affect everyone using a Windows operating system.
The vulnerability involves attackers taking advantage of a security weakness in the way communication between a client and a server is encrypted. Attackers could, for example, target an unpatched version of Internet Explorer to gain full remote access to affected computers..."

Yes, we are VERY aware of it, and there has been a few posts here on the Community detailing the hole.  :)
