This has been one of the faster turn around times to get an updated Unofficial Updater 2 out. One of the items that stuck out was that one of the acknowledgments was to Alex Holden who co-discovered the Adobe password and software breach.

Well, I kind of missed blogging the last update to Unofficial Updater 2 back in May while I was at cf.Objective(). The latest update APSB13-19 dropped while I was on vacation at the beach, but still got it done two days after it was released by Adobe.

Unofficial Updater 2 has been updated (April 11th) to now apply the latest ColdFusion security hotfix APSB13-10 that was released on April 9th.

That track record does not inspire confidence.
