No more Microsoft advisory email notifications?
We had this sent to us today letting us know there will no longer be emails sent by Microsoft for advanced notifications, etc. Instead people are to use the RSS feeds or other mechanisms.

******************************************************************** Notice to IT professionals: As of July 1, 2014, due to changing governmental policies concerning the issuance of automated electronic messaging, Microsoft is suspending the use of email notifications that announce the following: * Security bulletin advance notifications In lieu of email notifications, you can subscribe to one or more of the RSS feeds described on the Security TechCenter website. For more information, or to sign up for an RSS feed, visit the Microsoft Technical Security Notifications webpage at http://technet.microsoft.com/security/dd252948 |
Not quite sure what legislation changes they might be referring to (haven't seen anything yet). Either way if like me you used to receive these emails, you may no longer and you'll have to subscribe to the RSS feed.
I couldn't find anything on the Microsoft website (let me know if you can), but when following the links for "sign up for email notification" every page visited only has an RSS or web option, no email.
