Get in here, shit's gonna go down! Google just found a MASSIVE RCE hole in Windows! Like every time, details will leak and it will end up being exploited in the real world before it's fixed.
IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING! WINPOCALYPSE IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Move to Linux/macos ASAP!

it's happening, isn't it!
ugh, time to boot loonix for few months until this is fixed.
>W*dows
Who cares, if you want safety and privacy you wouldn't be using that garbage in the first place
This
I have my own dedicated computer just for gayimg only. Nothing else
You know they will not release this into the wild.
>Like every time, details will leak and it will end up being exploited in the real world before it's fixed.
Yeah, that doesn't happen.
>It's a Tavis Ormandy massively exaggerates the severity of a flaw he found to inflate his ego and pretend he's the defacto security god episode
I've lost count of how many times this guys has found a "world changing" flaw and nothing ever come of it.
No wonder their shills were shitposting in Sup Forums against linux, I mean, more than usual of course
Microsoft had better pay them to do so.
"The code is really high quality guys trust us"
Almost all of these require physical access in some way.
The number of "EXTREME WORLD ENDING SECURITY FAULT DISCOVERED!" that turns out to begin with a fucking USB stick in the target machine are uncountable at this point.
What that means is that when legitimate problems rather than enthusiast problems are found they are washed away in the tide and don't get the exposure they need.

Does anyone doubt that Microsoft is using shills to blow up every Linux exploit and sweep Windows exploits under the rug? You'd have to be retarded.
Windows is a privacy nightmare and often awful in security because it aims for convenience, so it makes it easy to do stupid shit, but...
>Tavis
This is likely a case of I have physical access to your machine

Or update ASAP once patches are released. Exploit details are not released until a fix has been authored.
implying that's not the desired effect

Why should anyone want to use an operating system that can be hacked by anyone with physical access?
Is that what i do then
laptop with linux for everything else and a PC for just games?
because every os can, user.
That's what I do at least.
....unless they take longer than 90 days to create a fix
>macos
lmao
>not knowing the difference between a worm and RCE
Really it's just a sign of respect. Finding a flaw in a well designed, professional operating system like NT is a pretty big deal.

of course they will.

you're an idiot who doesn't know what an RCE is.

That requires you to open an executable document, not the same as an RCE.
who cares? it's just as bad.
go back to sucking microshit dick, pajeet.
What?
I'm pointing out it's not remotely exploitable.
you're literally retarded when it comes to computers and security. you should stfu.
fucking gypsies
That looks like my office though replace one pajeet with a shit grinned Cuban.
so in other words,
>windows is an insecure piece of garbage
What else is new? Actually how is this even news? I thought they find like 20 million Windows exploits every week and have to patch them.
Guise, GUISE... it's fucking bad. Here's the details.

>move to Linux/macos ASAP!
Good joke, OP.
I swear that I will never again connect to the internet using that Windows partition on my laptop that I rarely use as it is. So much fucking incompetence. Windows is trash
The only people who even still defend windows are fatass gaming neckbeards. Everyone else hates windows, including normies that have to deal with it in office jobs and shit. kys you fat autistic reddit nigger
it's already fixed
>using windows
enjoy your personal prison
Holy shit Windows is garbage
>Sup Forums will defend this
To be fair if we were to make a web page for every Microsoft exploit we would run out of IPv6 Address, seriously in the past you could shutdown a w95 machine just by sending a bad ping and the first remote desktop servers for windows used to tell you which part of the password you got wrong.
>every Windows 10 device will be updated within 24 hours
>meanwhile millions of LInux boxes are botted and have whitehats remotely bricking them to fix the threat to the internet.
>Windows get an exploit
>Nothing to see here guys!
That's because it's so fucking common. Winfags are used to insecure systems.
because MS surface family devices all have secure boot on all the time and a huge warning if you leave it off.
Just get an Xbox One.
there's no games
It's great if you want to play your games at 720p running 30fps on low visual settings.
See Also, it would be best if you refrained from speaking about things you know nothing about. Microsofts security processes when it comes to vulnerability testing and fixing is leagues ahead as compared to Linux. Linus doesn't give a shit about security.
A what?
There's more than plenty.
>google working on it's own OS
>guise windows is full of bugs look!!!!!!!
google can go kill themselves to be quite tbqh honest
if they're so good at catching vulnerabilities, then why can't they just stop writing shitty software that has all those vulnerabilities in the first place? Neither Mac nor Linux have nearly as many problems in that regard. It's not even close.
I don't like Google, but I kind of hope they do kill Microsoft. Microsoft deserves it for shitting out garbage to its sheep fanbase for the past I don't fucking know, 7 was their peak and it's all been downhill since. They're also one of the biggest abusers of the H1b, and from the looks of these fucking vulnerabilities it looks like hiring all those unskilled pajeets is finally starting to catch up with them.
What the fuck is this. It's literally faster and cheaper to use a keyboard or an MIDI keyboard.
Why is Windows full of so many holes, then?
It's one thing if they can catch the holes quick, but with all these fucking problems that Windows has, you'd think they'd be able to learn from it and stop making shit with holes in it.
ahahaha good joke friendo
>whitehats remotely bricking them to fix the threat to the internet
Is this for real?
>It's great if you want to play your games at 720p running 30fps on low visual settings.
Xbox Scorpio will change that.
Another fucking exploit? I'm not even going to bother letting my laptop install updates anymore, because apparently it's not even worth it when the devs can't even catch this shit before google does
>the first remote desktop servers for windows used to tell you which part of the password you got wrong.
There's no way this is true.
>Buy an over-priced revision of a gaming console no one owns which has no games as it's coming to the end of the generation
Who will buy this shit?
And done.
Doesn't affect Windows 7?
I'm disappointed. I wanted winfags to suffer more.
>If they're so good at catching vulnerabilities, then why can't they just stop writing shitty software that has all those vulnerabilities in the first place?
Because writing secure code is hard. Sometimes things will interface in unexpected ways that aren't caught initially.
>Neither Mac nor Linux have nearly as many problems in that regard. It's not even close.
lmao are you serious? Check the CVE's list. The only reason MacOS isn't getting their asshole gaped by a stallion dick is marketshare.
And there are vulnerabilities in Linux all the time, hell, a few weeks ago there was vuln that allowed you to pop a box by sending a malformed UDP packet. And there have been tons of historically stupid vulnerabilities within both those operating systems.
The point is that there will always be vulnerabilities. And Windows is the operating system with the most marketshare in the world. Therefore, it's going to be attacked more often.
There's no problem with having a thread discussing the vulnerability, but when it devolves into the "My operating system is better than your operating system" bullshit, it's just retarded.
MICROSOFT SHILL SMALL PENIS

YES!
What?
lmaoing at ur "arguments"

linux has none lmao

Meh, doesn't even affect me anyway. I have defender disabled.
just going to post my oc meme pic , some feedback will be nice I'll drop the 2nd version when I have more time
someone is using Mirai to "destroy" IoT devices. i think they're calling them BricketBots.
it's a noble effort, really. those shits are pure cancer and evil.
>Current state of windows
Here's your (you)
Seems more like a workaround than a fix unless the vulnerability was in defender.
They cucked the exploit
THIS WAS FIXED IN APRIL BY A MONTHLY SECURITY UPDATE.
THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY YOU ALWAYS KEEP WINDOWS UPDATE ON ITS MOST AGGRESSIVE SETTINGS.
YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

This shts good right guys?
YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP COMING RITE NAO
Windows is the most secure operating system ever created - millions of attempts to find holes in it have been made and all those holes have been plugged. The other operating systems are relying on the fact that so far no one has made much of an effort to find security holes in the system and so most of them are still there undiscovered and therefore not yet exploited.
Yes Windows is the best operating system. Apple has been very successful and very impressive as of late but I think Windows is still years ahead of it's competition. It has been available much longer and has a bigger base in terms of technology and company compared to apple or other operating systems
I mean lets get real for a moment. You install windows 10 in about 45 minutes and for most linuxes its about the same but remember. Biggest base linuxes are about 1 gigabytes or 2 while windows 10 can be more than 5 gigabytes of data. And what happens when you open them. On linux there are about 2 functional buttons, 3 are nonfunctional and in those two buttons there are some pictures to play with. Maybe slide down or up. On windows though, you feel like a god. Its professional its fast, its all functional. You have a godlike user interface. The thing that linux does not have. You have those two buttons in linux, but you still search google for codes to write in terminal. Linux is free because its not worth a penny. Nobody would sell a paper without taking the money. Just not sure why people still buy android while windows phone does 10 times more. Trust me. When you work with windows you know some genius ground breaker dedicated himself to give you an operational os

if you use windows for anything other than testing virus/malware you're a cuck and you don't belong on Sup Forums. You will never be a real programmer.
>wangbloz
>compatibility
The only Windows products it mentions are Windows 8 and later, however it DOES mention Microsoft Security Essentials which IS installed on my Windows 7 machine (came with it, not something I installed afterwards). And according to the Microsoft website, I do have the version that's vulnerable.
DELET THIS
"Video games" is two words, not one. And besides, people who care about them are just useful idiots for the hardware industry. They're planned obsolescence personified. I'd rather use software that I don't need a high end machine to run, thank you very much.
kek, hear that guys? It's the anguished cries of an unemployed millennial
It's even worse. Years ago, Bill Gates basically sent the Windows team an ultimatum to get serious about security. Vulnerabilities like this are nowhere near as common as they used to be.
On the other hand, Linus doesn't give a shit about security and just ranks security bugs on equal footing with the rest of the bugs, and he's surrounded himself with yes-men who think just like him.
