Security Alert! Serious Security Flaw Discovered in Microsoft Outlook!

Last month, a serious vulnerability was discovered in Outlook—the email client most of us use. A cybercriminal can gain access to various Microsoft services using a specially crafted email and authenticate as another user (which could be you), receiving login credentials. No interaction is needed, unlike with phishing emails.

Patch to Fix the Vulnerability

Microsoft has released a patch to fix this issue. A patch (literally meaning “band-aid”) is a type of software update designed to close the vulnerability. Typically, it doesn’t change the software’s functionality.
