Critical Windows Security Warning Issued For Windows 10, 8.1 And 7 Users

September 24, 2019 by David Lanter

Hi guys,

Is it safe to say that windows is no longer safe, can we categorize its operating system as Moderate or High?

This article is a little worrying for Windows users like me.

From a security perspective, it hasn’t been the best few weeks for Microsoft or Windows users for that matter. There have been so many serious security issues coming to the fore that “security warning fatigue” is becoming a real danger. Most recently I reported how a Windows 10 update broke Windows Defender. This was preceded by a critical Windows warning about a worm able exploit that had been weaponized. Before that, there was a “complete control” hack attack warning, another Windows update breaking things issue and a device driver design flaw leaving millions of Windows 10 users at risk. Now there’s more bad news, and good news, as a zero-day vulnerability that is being exploited in the wild is confirmed by Microsoft. Here’s what you need to know and what you need to do now.
