Well by all means then, let’s run our governments and banks on Windows! 🙄
Microsoft has proven time and time again security is not a priority. Cloud profit mattered more than the security of the public and public services as sunburst proved.
This should not come as a surprise.
The three letter agencies probably knew about this, too, but either didn’t tell Microsoft, or forbid them to fix it.
Yall remember eternal blue? no? only me?
Yeah … im never putting any of Micro$oft products on anything I need to be secure … ever
Remember regreSSHion?
All software has serious security vulnerabilities.
RegreSSHion is overblown … it was quickly patched and it was not reliably reproducible every time. It depended on “Luck” to have pointer fall on the right memory space in order to allow the code execution.
I think Terrapin was much much worse … and log4j … log4j was a DISASTER … but point taken.
I wasn’t shrilling my choice of OS tho, I think eternal blue is a lot worse than those other CVEs because the NSA KNEW about it and did not disclose it, and because Windows has a much wider user base of clueless users that easily fooled.
Yeah, I just took the most recent one as an example.
