Seems the US NSA found the security hole in Win 10 that was supposedly fixed by today's updates. Microsoft and NSA declined to say when the agency privately notified the company.
The agency shared the vulnerability with Microsoft “quickly and responsibly”, Neal Ziring, technical director of the NSA's cybersecurity directorate, said in a blog post Tuesday.
An advisory sent by NSA on Tuesday said “the consequences of not patching the vulnerability are severe and widespread”.
Microsoft said an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by spoofing a code-signing certificate so it looked like a file came from a trusted source. The company said it has not seen any evidence hackers have used the technique.
Computers will get the fix automatically, if they have the automatic update option turned on. Others can get it manually by going to Windows Update in the computer's settings.
Make sure you get today's updates asap...
