You keep incorrectly blaming the advisories for the attacks
"The latest twist in the ongoing attacks comes less than a week after Microsoft's pre-patch advisory provided clues for hackers to write and release detailed exploit code."

You keep incorrectly blaming the advisories for the attacks when in fact the attacks were happening before the advisory even went out. The advisories were in response to the attacks and NOT the other way around! The advisory at least gave people a chance to stop the attacks if they wanted to.
