Microsoft issues a fix for Exchange Y2K22 bug that shut down company emails
Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge
If you woke up on January 1st, 2022, and found that your work email’s inbox was unusually empty, you aren’t alone. Microsoft rang in the New Year with a bug that prevents Exchange servers from sending emails, but fortunately, a fix has since been issued, as detailed in a report by Bleeping Computer.
“The problem relates to a date check failure with the change of the new year”
“The problem relates to a date check failure with the change of the new year and is not a failure of the AV engine itself,” Microsoft explains in a post on its Tech Community forum. “The version checking performed against the signature file is causing the malware engine to crash, resulting in messages being stuck in transport queues.”
Microsoft outlines the solution...

New Resident Evil 2 VR Mod Looks Great (And Terrifying)
2019's Resident Evil 2 remake was fantastic, blending the third-person action and combat from Resident 4, with the scares and visuals of Resident Evil 7.
