Imagine it’s like your computer or tablet has a small door that’s supposed to be locked tight. But sometimes, sneaky bugs find a secret way in through tiny cracks we didn’t know were there. It’s kind of like our digital home needing a check-up every now and then to make sure all doors and windows are locked tight so no unwanted guests can sneak in.
Just recently, the team over at Microsoft did a big check-up on their software and found 71 spots where the bugs could maybe get through. They’re like digital handymen, and they went around patching up those spots with what they call “fixes” so that your computer can be safe. Think of this like putting band-aids on the cuts so they can heal properly.
One sneaky bug, called a zero-day, was like a burglar who found a special door that nobody even knew was there. The tricky part about this zero-day is that some clever burglars were already using this door to get into people’s digital homes. But don’t worry—Microsoft discovered this just in time and put a really strong lock on it. Now, your digital home is safe from that burglar.
