Re: Changes to Microsoft advance notification process

[Roger A Safian <r-safian () NORTHWESTERN EDU>]

Does anyone know if they plan on having a way to receive the bulletins via email?  We have a local list we forward 
these to, and I'd hate to see that disappear in favor of a security center I need to log in to and download the 
bulletins.

Looks like MS pulled a fast one and changed their automatic notification process (with no notification ).

You have to go through a signup process to select the products you want email on.  And even after that, I still don't 
see anything for January yet.

They supposedly have a non-signup page that users can view, but it's also blank -

Their generic security page (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin ) does indicate the next set of 
patches are scheduled for Jan 13.

Seems like they are expecting people get updates from twitter - https://twitter.com/msftsecresponse/
