    W10 automatic silent updates after W10 upgrade.

    Most of the report is way over my 'pay grade' but this comment hit me between the eyes:

    "A month after Google reported this issue to Microsoft, a hacker by the name of Phineas Fisher would breach the Hacking Team's servers and leak their entire database, including this zero-day exploit."

    Have I read this right? Microsoft have a (presumably top secret highly specialist) team looking at hackers. But their server has been hacked by a hacker? And their reports have been made public?

    This is yet another reason why you pay close attention to received files and links. NEVER open anything suspicious!

    WSH, cough, WSH. By simply disabling WSH , you can disable sooo much malware, without AV. *Rolleyes
