Microsoft stops Patch Tuesday emails, blames Canada, then does U-turn

Microsoft sent out a decree on Friday saying that regular email notifications of security advisories are coming to a stop on 1 July. Microsoft spokespeople subsequently clarified by pointing to a new Canadian anti-spam law that takes effect on July 1. The new law requires explicit or implicit consent for a commercial business to communicate through email, text message and social media messages. Microsoft has now performed a restart on its security notifications, a spokesperson told Brian Krebs late yesterday that Microsoft will be re-starting its emails early in July.”]
