Microsoft closes dangerous security gaps: Windows users should update now

The gaps are probably already being actively exploited, like “Security Week” reported. Ransomware is often installed in order to demand a ransom from the victims. In the past few months, a particularly large number of users from Austria, France and Slovenia have been affected.

Businesses in particular could continue to be popular targets for criminals. In addition to the blackmail attempts, the theft of valuable data should also be of interest. To prevent this, Microsoft recommends installing the new update as soon as possible.
