Hi everyone, Scott Deacon here again. Wanted to update you on what we’ve seen to date with the VML issue. Attacks remain limited. There’s been some confusion about that, that somehow attacks are dramatic and widespread. We’re just not seeing that from our data, and our Microsoft Security Response Alliance partners aren’t seeing that at all either.
