Microsoft has released an emergency out-of-band security update today to fix two critical security issues — a zero-day vulnerability in the Internet Explorer scripting engine that has been exploited in the wild, and a Microsoft Defender bug.

The importance of patching has never been so important and not just for those “early adopters”. Luckily there is a minimal share of the public still using IE as a browser, but it’s worth noting this could still have damaging consequences. If anyone thinks they may have been affected, I advise they update and patch their browser and then conduct a full antivirus scan of the device to make sure any possible malicious code is removed.
