UAE: Microsoft users urged to apply security updates to avoid data theft

Microsoft has released new security updates addressing various vulnerabilities across products.

UAE's Cyber Security Council recommends applying the security updates, as these vulnerabilities allow attackers to gain control of systems, access sensitive data, or perform unauthorised actions.

Microsoft has released security updates to address 79 vulnerabilities, including four that are actively exploited. Successful exploitation could allow remote code execution, privilege escalation, or security bypass, leading to system control, data theft, or denial of service.
