there’s two Windows 10 zero days that just came out which allow code to run with elevated permissions without user authorization.
That is my point, zero day vulnerabilities show that new does not mean better or more secure. They did not just “come out” they where there and likely used from the start. The issue is that people still put their faith in updates and software, even though its clearly a mess. You can do you, but until (like news on phishing scams) the outdated OS vulnerability becomes a common attack vector I will keep banging my drum on better understanding digital risks and keep running my old crap (partly just to see what happens mind you).
