Hackers exploit Windows patches #
The BBC News has a report that states most viruses that exploit flaws in the Microsoft OS or applications occur after a patch has been released. The man in charge of Microsoft's security business and technology unit, claims that he knows of only one instance where there was hole being exploited before a patched was released.

They must be following the same logic where, in the past, they have said that Windows is more secure because more people use it and find holes which then get patched. I never understood this new math thing. |/rant|
