The new update is KB982316 and was published by Microsoft for Windows XP systems on May 19th. This will fix the NSA vulnerability exploited by hackers following the latest cyber attack and the leaks from the Shadow Brokers. This patch was released to protect Windows XP computers against the WannaCry ransomware. All Windows versions except Windows XP got the patch in March via Windows Update because they were still supported. Windows XP hasn’t been officially supported for a very long time and now the update is available for Windows XP Service Pack 3. If you’re an XP user, it is recommended you install the update right away given the fact that the most recent cyber attacks seem to have affected thousands of victims throughout the world.
