But fundamentally, this vulnerability has existed for years, and has almost certainly been used for years.

Only now has a security company found the bug, and told Microsoft. Once again hackers, and prople at a (small) security company can easily outsmart the worlds richest company, and show hundreds of millions of Microsoft PCs have terrible security.

I'd put money on another bug being found next month too..
