Question: A. Research the current literature to find instances of malware posing as legitimate software patches. Identify the estimated number of computers affected and the availability of repairs/patches. Describe the estimated damage in time and money. Cite your sources.
B. Visit the Web site of a major operating system vendor and find the list patches that were issued in the last 12 months. For each patch, find its criticality and size. Cite your sources. Then, as if you were assigned the task of installing these patches, decide the timing for their installation. For example, how many would you install immediately and which ones could wait for the next quarterly patch cycle (assuming a four-per-year cycle)?
