Microsoft dropped 974 patches, CISA added 6 new exploits, and a new attack kit chains Windows + Chrome zero-days.
The deal lens: When you buy a business, you inherit its patch status, its vendor stack, and its breach history. This week shows why: a record Patch Tuesday, six new CISA exploits, AI infrastructure under attack, and a new exploit kit chaining browser and OS flaws. A pristine P&L means nothing if the Windows Update Stack has a known-exploited vulnerability nobody patched.
