About Microsoft Exchange Security?
November 12, 2021
I spotted “Microsoft urges Exchange Admins to Patch Their On-Prem Servers Now.” I like the “now.” I interpret this suggestion to mean, “Well, our much hyped security enhancements… are sort of not enough.”
The write up asserts:
[“November 2021 Exchange Server Security Updates” goes on to add that the bug only impacts on-premise Microsoft Exchange servers, including those used by customers in Exchange Hybrid mode.
With Microsoft telemetry, smart updates, and remote access controls to Microsoft systems — why are licensees hanging in the digital wind?
Net net: This type of “bulletin” is catnip to bad actors. Perhaps it is too expensive to do more than issue PR about security.
