Samsung Group heir Lee Jae-yong has been formally arrested on charges of bribery in connection with an influence-peddling scandal that has led to a vote for impeachment of the country's president, Park Geun-hye.

A zero-day exploit for all versions of Windows was released two weeks ago, but Microsoft does not appear to be seized of this, announcing that it will release security updates which were meant for this month on 14 March.

Melbourne IT has become the owner of Outware Systems, acquiring the remaining 24% of the latter about six months before it planned to do so.

Have a great day!
