Windows gets an emergency security fix across most versions
If you use Windows — just about any recent version of it, in fact — you’re going to want to check for updates as soon as you can. Microsoft has released an emergency, off-schedule patch for a security hole that lets ne’er-do-wells hijack your system if you open documents or websites that use embedded OpenType fonts. The flaw exists in virtually every edition of Windows that Microsoft still supports, ranging from Vista all the way to your preview copy of Windows 10. There’s no evidence that an attack exists in the wild, but you’ll definitely want to get the fix before malware writers get their act together.
