On Tuesday, as part of their monthly updates, Microsoft released a fix for Internet Explorer that addresses twenty-nine different vulnerabilities. One of them is a previously unknown vulnerability offered up to Hacking Team that researchers discovered in the company's leaked emails.

Hacking Team, an Italian company that sells intrusion and surveillance tools to governments and law enforcement agencies, suffered a serious breach last week that led to the release of 400GB of data.

The leaked files included source code, sales contracts, corporate emails, and more. The incident has already resulted in three patches from Adobe, and now Microsoft has addressed flaws in its software that were being offered to the company by developers.
