Following an initial report that Microsoft's Patch/Update Tuesday would be delayed comes the notice that it will actually be postponed. Oh, and there is a zero-day SMB exploit currently in the wild for which Microsoft intended to release a patch last Tuesday. That fix, and all the others scheduled for February, have been postponed to be released on March's Patch Tuesday.
Here are some stories that lay things out:
- Microsoft cancels February Patch Tuesday despite 0-day in wild | Ars Technica
- Microsoft shelves all February security updates | Computerworld
- Microsoft's monthlong patch delay could pose risks | Computerworld
- February 2017 security update release – MSRC
Many businesses have regular processes in place to test and roll out patches on their systems; how has this postponement affected you?

I think we should wait until the next president and let the people decide before putting new patches in place. The founding fathers would have wanted it that way.
