Microsoft contritely acknowledged Wednesday that its second attempt to fix an Exchange security hole went awry. Rather than fix the problem--and the security hole--the company's second attempt at a software patch included a catastrophic bug that caused many servers to hang. "Yesterday, we discovered that the updated version contained outdated files which, as a result, did not fix the issues for which it was designed," a Microsoft representative said Wednesday. "We are incredibly sorry and apologize for any inconvenience."
