Windows 10 has an extremely dangerous vulnerability revealed today by a computer security researcher, who published it directly on Twitter before Microsoft managed to fix it. The vulnerability was also confirmed by the American authorities, who confirmed that it also affects computers that have Windows 10 with the latest updates installed, so it is very dangerous and everyone must know what risks they are exposed to.
Windows 10 can have this vulnerability exploited so that the hacker can obtain administrator rights for the operating system, extract any kind of data, and control the computer however he wants. Just like most vulnerabilities for operating systems discovered so far, this one also requires the infection code to run in Windows 10, either directly or by accessing a malicious application, the main way computers and phones are infected.
Windows 10: Very DANGEROUS Vulnerability Published
Windows 10 has this vulnerability cataloged as a 0day, that is, one that was not known to Microsoft until the moment it was brought to their attention by the person who discovered it. Now it is known to the whole world, and can be freely exploited by any hacker, until Microsoft releases updates designed to block it, which will happen, the Americans announcing that they will provide updates for all customers as soon as possible, without giving a timeline.

Windows 10 has had many vulnerabilities discovered over time, some being more dangerous than others, but in the end what matters is that Microsoft hastened to solve them, in most cases. Now it is difficult to say how long it will take until Microsoft decides to solve the problem that was brought to the attention of the general public, but it is clear that there are still many things to solve in the Windows 10 operating system, unfortunately.
