Bluekeep: the threat that could affect a million users
Table of contents:
WannaCry was a ransomware that caused damage to millions of computers, as you surely remember many. Now, a vulnerability has been discovered for old versions of Windows, which could affect around a million users. This new threat has been called BlueKeep. For users with Windows 8 and Windows 10 it seems that it would not pose a danger. The problem is that it is a danger that can be dispersed without interaction with users.
BlueKeep: The threat that could affect a million users
That is why, even from the NSA they ask users with computers with the affected versions to update their computers. So that they avoid this threat as soon as possible.
New threat
In the middle of May, Microsoft was correcting the problem of the Remote Code Execution vulnerability, whose code was CVE-2019-0708, known as BlueKeep. This danger had been previously reported, using EternalBlue as an example, which ended up becoming the WannaCry ransomware. It is estimated that there are around a million computers still in danger, although they could be more if it ends up also reaching business servers.
As we mentioned, users on Windows 8 or 10 are not affected, but those with older versions do. For this reason, Microsoft is asking them to hurry to update their equipment as soon as possible. Due to the seriousness of this vulnerability.
Microsoft has released patches for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 at the threat of BlueKeep, because there are users who still use these versions. Therefore, all those with any of these versions of the operating system should update as soon as possible, to avoid this new problem.
