Microsoft pushed an emergency patch for Office after discovering a zero-day exploit that attackers were already using. The flaw bypassed Office's built-in security protections, allowing malicious code to run when you open a document. But here is the catch: it only worked if they could convince you to open the file first.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ How this zero-day exploit bypassed Office security protections
✅ Why the social engineering component was critical to the attack
✅ What to do if you receive unexpected documents, even from people you know
✅ How to apply the fix for Office 2016, 2019, 2021 and Microsoft 365
✅ Why verifying through a separate channel is your best defence
The more sophisticated our systems get, the more sophisticated the attacks become. Stay vigilant.

Microsoft's January patch KB5074109 was supposed to be routine, but it has caused chaos for many users. Remote desktop failures, Outlook crashes, black screens on startup, and PCs refusing to boot have all been reported in the weeks since its release.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ What problems the January Windows update has caused
✅ Why this feels like a throwback to the old days of waiting before patching
✅ How to decide whether to delay or roll back the update
✅ Why you need to be extra vigilant if you skip or remove the patch
✅ The trade-off between patch problems and security vulnerabilities
No update process is foolproof. Learn how to protect yourself when the protection itself causes problems.
