Microsoft Windows security alert

Posted: Wed 12 Nov 2014, 5:50pm.

Earlier this week, Microsoft announced a potentially damaging security risk affecting a wide range of Windows software.

We're taking action to protect all computers managed by IT Services but if you have your own PC or laptop, or if you manage a Windows computer or server on behalf of the University, you should take action as soon as possible to ensure it's not vulnerable to attack.

Microsoft released an update for the bug yesterday, Tuesday 11 November, so you can protect your computer just by making sure it has installed the latest Windows Updates.

More information about the vulnerability is available on the Microsoft website.
