Microsoft advised its Microsoft Office Mac version users, that a security patch launched by mistake via software update service, was not ready yet to be launched.
The company recommended those who installed the patch to uninstall it, without giving any information about the date when the final version would be available.
“The updates posted there by mistake were pre-release codes internally classified as partial tests of a future launch”, as announced on Wednesday by a representative of Microsoft Security Response Center.
The codes were launched before the final stage of testing, due to a human error. Microsoft announced that measures would be taken that such things do not repeat in the future.
