Latest Windows Vulnerabilities

By

I don’t get into Windows vulnerability issues much here. I find it boring reading, the severity of these issues is often overblown (like everything else), and I used to get paid to protect systems from this stuff. If you like to keep up with such things I recommend BleepingComputer.
Anyway, below are the latest vulnerabilities. The fixes involve you not being able to print (at least remotely), and deleting System Restore points and Shadow volumes and stopping the ability to create them.

Huge data leak shatters the lie that the innocent need not fear surveillance
“Few pause to think that their phones can be transformed into surveillance devices, with someone thousands of miles away silently extracting their messages, photos and location, activating their microphone to record them in real time.
Such are the capabilities of Pegasus, the spyware manufactured by NSO Group, the Israeli purveyor of weapons of mass surveillance.“

July 2021 Vacation Pics, Vids, And Info

This page is VERY large.
