Windows 10 has a very serious warning published by the Microsoft company for users all over the world, and this in the conditions where many people are staying at home and protecting themselves during this period. Those from Microsoft say that many hackers look carefully at people who use pirated services to watch movies online, or who download torrents, so they have Windows 10 in their sights for large-scale computer attacks.
Windows 10 would be the target of such an attack, based on a malicious VBScript that is hidden in .zip files that are presented by hackers as movies that can be downloaded from the Internet. We are talking about not very new methods of tricking users into downloading viruses from the Internet, but now those from Microsoft say that the problem is an extremely serious one for those who have Windows 10, and you must be extremely attentive to what is happening.
Windows 10: Very Serious WARNING Published by Microsoft
Windows 10 has this warning issued because there are hundreds of millions of users worldwide who use it, and who may be one of the victims of the hackers who launched this dangerous malware. In this idea, people must be extremely careful about what they download from the Internet, and this because it is possible that some of the files will affect their computers very seriously, which of course no one wants.
With lockdown still in place in many parts of the world, attackers are paying attention to the increase in use of pirate streaming services and torrent downloads. We saw an active coin miner campaign that inserts a malicious VBScript into ZIP files posing as movie downloads.

Windows 10 over time, there have been numerous warnings issued by those from Microsoft, but this one now comes to tell us again how serious things can become when hackers target everyone. Windows 10 had numerous problems last year with the updates that Microsoft kept releasing, and 2020 didn't start too great for them either, but this time we're talking about something completely different for Americans.
Windows 10 remains the largest operating system for computers, surpassing 1 billion devices worldwide, and will certainly continue to grow without stopping in the coming months.
