Microsoft releases record number of security patches in latest update

Microsoft released a record-breaking number of security patches in its latest Patch Tuesday update, according to sources speaking to The Verge. The surge in patches reflects an unusually busy summer for the company's Windows and security engineering teams, which typically see reduced activity during vacation season.

The increased volume is attributed in part to new AI models that are discovering software vulnerabilities more rapidly than traditional methods. This marks a significant shift in how Microsoft handles vulnerability identification and remediation.
