Not just that- additional hackers will probably be able to reverse engineer the aborted patch to uncover the vulnerability(s) and also exploit them until Apple issues another patch. Meanwhile the screwup will dissuade yet more folks from keeping their OSs updated- and in my case, waiting at least a day or so.

Probably not likely at all.
Well that’s on the user. People smoke and there has been enough on that. Nuff said.
I just checked and yeah it’s there.RSR (c) is live
I don’t really know if I should install it right now though. I’ll probably wait.
Using App instead of Safari + facebook webpage makes life easier. I'm talking only about situations when you access it via Phone, not Mac. But most of you probably use Mac's, so I guess that's the reason why you're so shocked by my post. Remember: dedicated App makes life easier, not facebook/instagram or any other.
I just updated to (c) and there's something wrong with icons showing up after a reboot. Screen is laggy when I unlock my phone after reboot. Plus, when I turn the phone off there's a screen flashing with icons for 0,5 second instead of just black screen as always.
Apple, we need a fix to fix your fix which fixed a fix.
The meta problem here - pun intended - is that Safari and OS X and iOS are unfixable.
The same bugs appear in thousands of different varieties, web content leads to arbitrary code execution despite sandbox and all the other efforts that have been made.
Operating systems are like swiss cheese, there's endless holes and allowing websites to run exposes all the attack surfaces like QuickTime - a 30 year old codebase, back then nobody was even thinking about hackers... JavaScript execution engine which definitely cannot be fixed without breaking its functionality, etc.
Every time there's a massive ruckus, a public security update to be installed right away, and the note that "the issue was addressed by improved bounds checking"
Well - there's millions of holes left to go. Chances are each new feature introduces a few new holes.
We need a totally different approach to make our computers and phones safe. New sandbox concept maybe, since the existing one clearly isn't working. A sandbox seems like the solution but so far all sandboxes that have been developed from Java to OS X / iOS have failed.

I thought I had downloaded the original update the other day but my phone still had a badge on the settings app icon.
Since update (c) was released the icon was showing 2 updates. I updated to (c) today and the icon was showing 1 after downloading the update. I removed (c) and the icon is now showing 2 again on the badge.
What should I do?

Well this began today. Ventura 13.4.1 (c). I can't help but wonder if this gives a hint to the area that is the problem?
