Re: MS Security Bulletin Advance Notification - June 6, 2013

Still no e-mails about it. Oh well.

I did a number of pseudo-polls in a number of places - the advance notification did not arrive for many.
Hat tip to dp See Profile

So, I don't get advanced bulletins anymore.

But I do get the releases:

Microsoft ( 4.2K) Microsoft Security Advisory Notification
Microsoft ( 11K) Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for June 2013

Check your email as I got mine today

It's kinda redundant to get a "pre-notification" on the same day as the patches.

Still nothing! Maybe they're late. Were yours date from last Thursday when MS usually releases them?

I didn't get the advanced notification today. I got the MS Security Bulletin Summary today along with a Microsoft security email about how to protect against viruses and a new MsWindows Panel survey that was pissed off when I checked the box for having bought a new desktop within the past six months and also checked the boxes to indicate that I have not purchased a tablet, ultrabook, laptop or all in one in the past six months and have no intention of purchasing any of those in the next six months.

Sorry to read of this Mele20 See Profile
I'm a bit out of touch as to whom to complain as to why the pre-notification email arrived as late as it did in your case substitute email that wasn't necessarily relevant.

I should have added that I am a long time member of the Windows Feedback Panel and I subscribe to other Microsoft newsletters BESIDES the advanced Security Bulletin Notification and the Security Bulletin.

I just thought it ironic that I got these OTHER emails from Microsoft today but never received the advanced Security Bulletin Notification this month or last month.

Others have complained of same. One hopes this will be cleared up. I've made it visible in places where folks should take notice.
Your feedback is appreciated.

FYI, I did finally get an advanced July notification e-mail last week.

It's seems to have been a one-off. Could be the mail server burped without anyone knowing until the complaints started being known.
Problem is, who do you report these things to ?

Maybe a MS employee/contractor read this thread. :P

Maybe it was Aaron....can't think of his handle here....CalamityJane See Profile helped him get a job at Microsoft as a malware researcher....anyhow maybe he read this thread and reported it.

I, too, got mine this month. (And now I have to go change my Microsoft email address as dslr mail will not be alive for much longer).

I highly doubt ahulett See Profile would abuse that power.

Huh? Abuse what power? (Thank you for reminding me of his handle here). I simply said maybe he saw this thread and reported that some were having a problem with missing advance notice of bulletins. I don't understand your comment as how could that be abusing power?

No worries, Mele20 See Profile

Maybe I misconstrued your comments as having meant something else than what you typed.

Yes, those from MS and elsewhere watch these threads carefully - if it is the case that someone from MS picked up on the lack the June advanced notification email and corrected it, that works for me.

I assumed I was messing around a bit with antdude See Profile's comments. And, your welcome for helping you remember what it is here.

I did recall Aaron's posting handle from the days of when he was with Lavasoft

Ok, thanks! Sorry, if my comment sounded confusing...glad that is cleared up.

Yeah, I have not seen ahulett See Profile post here in a long while....so long that I couldn't think of his handle here. Yes, I remember when he was with Lavasoft and that CalamityJane See Profile and others here very active in the antimalware area put in good words for him regarding the Micrsoft job. I was proud of him and proud of the members here who were able to help.

New site has a few little quirks...it says this topic has not been updated for over two weeks!
