Microsoft Shatters Another Record, Patching 973 Vulnerabilities in September

Microsoft patched a record 973 vulnerabilities in its September 2026 Patch Tuesday update, surpassing its earlier 2026 record of 570 security flaws patched in July, according to cybersecuritynews.com and Krebs on Security. A Privacy Guides forum commenter attributed the surge to bleeding-edge AI models identifying vulnerabilities faster and at a scale humans cannot keep up with, as vendors try to get ahead of the wave of flaws expected once those models are released publicly.
