krebsonsecurity.com

Microsoft Corp. today released updates to fix at least 79 security vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and related software, including multiple flaws that are already showing up in active attacks. Microsoft also corrected a critical bug that has caused some Windows 10 PCs to remain dangerously unpatched against actively exploited vulnerabilities for several months this year.

    Sick. Glad I switched to Linux. If a potato brain like me can pull it off so can you. And if you choose the right distro it can be even easier than Windows. I’m not even exaggerating. Linux has come a long way.

      Sure, but thinking that your system is immune to vulnerabilities just because you use Linux is stupid.

      I don’t get why people post “uhh but Linux!!!” comments under just about every post about a security issue with Windows. Linux and its distros have security issues as well and you should always keep your system up-to-date either way.

        For sure. I’m not saying Linux is flawless. I’m just saying that Windows is only getting worse as Linux has been getting better. It’s the same problems I have with Google and Apple. They can just do whatever the fuck they want and the average person has to pay the price. If I fuck up my PC, at least I’ll know it was probably my fault and it will be a learning experience.
