Patch Tuesday & Exploit Wednesday !

Came across this interesting bit while browsing through the net. till now, I didn't knew that Microsoft releases all the windows patches on a monthly basis on the second Tuesday of every month,named Patch Tuesday.

More interestingly, once the patches are out, the next day is the best day for hackers all over the world to exploit the vulnerabilities, making it "Exploit Wednesday". Nice !!

More in Wikipedia.
