Windows 10 sends large amounts of data to Microsoft

Anonim

Once again we have to talk about Windows 10 and again it is not to give good news to our readers. You all know that the latest version of Microsoft's operating system is not very respectful of users' privacy and now new research shows that Windows 10 sends large amounts of data to Microsoft without users knowing it.

According to research by Voat user CheesusCrust, Windows 10 sends large amounts of user data to Microsoft and is directed at a large number of Microsoft IPs. During a period of 8 hours the system has tried to send information to more than 51 different IPs, all of them owned by Microsoft. Worse still is that after 30 hours the system has sent information to a whopping 113 non-private IPs

Something that is aggravated by the fact that non-private IPs can be intercepted by hackers, something that makes the OS very vulnerable. Even after disabling tracking tools and using third-party tools, your computer continues to send data to Microsoft without your consent.

So now you know, Windows 10 sends large amounts of data to Microsoft without you being able to do anything to prevent it, except stop using the system or disconnect it from the network.
