NSA Discovers Security Flaw in Windows 10


The NSA recently discovered a major security flaw in Windows 10.

Microsoft’s CryptoAPI service helps developers prove validity and trustworthiness when Windows checks for it on a user’s device. A hacker could potentially exploit the bug by undermining or bypassing usual protections and subsequently gain control of victim’s devices. 


The implications of this bug are huge. Hackers are undoubtedly racing to exploit the flaw, while many users are still unaware of its existence. Microsoft has released a patch for the bug, and the NSA is urging network owners to install it immediately. After all, over 900 million PCs run the Windows 10 operating system so this is a big issue!

This is a recent development, but certainly won’t be the last. Keep reading about cyber security on our website!
