Just over two years ago, a group of security vulnerabilities called Meltdown and Specter caused chaos across the industry, affecting Intel and AMD processors,The vulnerabilities made it possible to obtain information from other programs and to guess passwords, and it was necessary to correct the operating system and lose performance. Now, after two years, a huge new vulnerability has affected Windows 10.
In the last hours, there were rumors in the network about the existence of this vulnerability, although no further details were provided, but information indicates that the vulnerability has enriched the coding part of the operating system. Now, after the patch was released at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, all its details have been revealed. In addition to Windows 10, the patch has also been received in Windows 7, and this is the latest official update that Windows 7 users will receive after the end of the support that will happen today.
The vulnerability was discovered by NASA, which Microsoft reported, the first time that Microsoft credited the vulnerability to NASA. This behavior is commendable, because in the past the security vulnerability could have been saved for use with NASA spying purposes. This was what they did with WannaCry and EternalBlue, who fell into the hands of the Shadow Brokers group. This group has deployed tools, making it a zero-day vulnerability in the hands of hackers around the world, resulting in real chaos and ransomware emerging.
Therefore, we recommend updating your operating system as soon as possible. The installation will be installed automatically on your computer all day, but in Windows 10b, you can go to Settings> Update & Security> Windows Update, and give "Check for Updates" to force install the patch as soon as possible.
