A vulnerability in a core component of Windows 10 has been identified by the US National Security Agency (NSA) which could be manipulated by hackers to execute code remotely. Users are advised apply January’s security release from Microsoft as soon as possible, as it contains a patch to protect against this threat as well as other security updates.
They should also make sure they are running on the latest version of the system, which is Windows 10 1909. Ensuring that all apps and software are updated to the most recent versions is an essential part of keeping your system secure. This can be done most easily by enabling automatic updates.
This #PatchTuesday you are strongly encouraged to implement the recently released CVE-2020-0601 patch immediately. https://t.co/czVrSdMwCR pic.twitter.com/log6OU93cV
