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
