Are we seeing a trend here ?

Patch Tuesday now seems to be followed by Attack Thursday on a regular basis. Attackers are aware of the Microsoft schedule and now lay in wait. The new exploits they release will have 30 days of freedom to do their dirty work - if Microsoft issues a patch for the exploit that works. [ This months updates contained the third version of an IE fix - the first two were useless ]

Those of us using Opera or Firefox are, of course, not interested in this post.
