The ironic thing about this is that there were only limited, targeted attacks. It was one known malicious group with specific targets--not really a consumer play at all, and not relevant for most business customers either.

It hit mainstream media primarily because it was the first public exploit to hit after XP's end of service, and there wasn't an easy, consumer-friendly workaround. Microsoft chose to issue the patch to all affected versions of IE, but if you're still using a 12+ year old OS like XP, please consider upgrading.
