A tech guy discovered a ’ Windows security vulnerability? He tweeted about it.

"I get the impression that people should perhaps pay very close attention to installing tomorrow's Microsoft Patch Tuesday updates in a timely manner. Even more so than others," Dormann wrote, adding, "I don't know... just call it a hunch?"

This is so bad that the NSA got the Windows update shipped in all secrecy to keep their own systems up.

Nobody is prepared to say exactly what is wrong - it is that bad (Well keeping closed source is keeping secrets; by design)

This was picked up by investigative reporter Brian Krebs, who said that his sources told him, "Microsoft is slated to release a software update on Tuesday to fix an extraordinarily serious security vulnerability in a core cryptographic component present in all versions of Windows."

So update your Windows immediately!

You do not have Windows 10? ...Doesn't matter it affects everything including Windows XP.

Yet another reason to love Linux....right Microsoft?

Not going to happen. Is so embeded as the only thing around that is a necessary evil. Beside, they are so powerful and they have the the Justice Depts in their back pocket. Unless, there is a Judge, that open the flood gates... is not going to happen. Also, a "too big to fail" like good ol' sock puppet "O'bummer" used to say.
