U.S. Government Announces 'Critical' Warning For Microsoft Windows Users

The bad news: BlueKeep is poised to attack any Windows machine, except those running Windows 8 and 10, that are not updated.

The good news: It's fixed by the latest Windows update.

Microsoft even made an update for XP systems.

Excerpt:

" The United States Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has gone public with a warning to Microsoft Windows users regarding a critical security vulnerability. By issuing the "update now" warning, CISA has joined the likes of Microsoft itself and the National Security Agency (NSA) in warning Windows users of the danger from the BlueKeep vulnerability.

While Windows 8 and Windows 10 users are not impacted by this vulnerability, Windows 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista all are and the news that an exploit has been confirmed justifies the unusual step of the U.S. Government and its agencies getting involved in issuing these "update now" warnings. "

I strongly recommend you read and heed and pass it along.
