Google draws ire from Microsoft for premature publicisism of Windows bug

London: Google has reportedly drawn Microsoft's ire after the search engine publicised a security flaw in Windows which put some users at risk.

Google posted details of the bug online even before a patch to fix the issue was released, reported the BBC.
