May Patch Tuesday

Superstition holds you shouldn’t buy a broom, wash a blanket, or get married in May. What you should do, though, is patch—and all the more so this May Patch Tuesday! Make quick work of this month’s zero day. No need for superstition there, as that one has proven itself a menace via exploits in the wild. Prioritize everything publicly disclosed and patch the Windows vulnerability primed to unleash a WannaCry-like event two years after the original (to the very month, in fact—so maybe there is something to May superstitions after all).
