"Microsoft says there's no evidence these flaws haven't been successfully exploited."
FTFY.
Anyone that runs a web server or other interactive device on the internet and also looks at their logs knows that
the list of exploited flaws in all types of systems is best enumerated by counting on both fingers and toes in binary.
The data that flows past a company like Google is astounding.
Mostly we hear about some engineer discovering a bug by inspecting
code. What we do not often hear is the cases where honeypots watched
by "G" or "deep web exploration" discovers who, what, how and where...
We also do not see disclosures where a TLA agency sends a confidential
email to an engineer at a security company that then files the bug.
N.B. the banner that Google pops up and announces that this site is a risky
place to go and that it has been found to serve up malware and other
bad code.
This is a big problem and perhaps the #1 external issue of any web based
company. Especially one that is constantly under attack from all the corners of the
globe.
I happen to have grown fondish of some of the windows only application tools.
That list of applications grows despite my personal preference of a _nix OS.
I always ask the vendor for non-Windows tools....
Given the quality of engineers I personally know that work at MS I can only
assume that there is an astounding failure by management to improve the
product and its foundations.
