Patch Tuesday is far worse. 8 days is well within the 30 day window they use for releasing exploit fixes. So it isn't even weird. This stuff happens all the time if you don't push security fixes as soon as possible. They prefer to have a nice little monthly day to make the life of companies easier, but it's highly unsafe.
