Beware of Windows updates

Post by sniper3d »

Automatically translated from French.

As indicated by Comodo and DigiNotar in a publication on Pastebin, they are able to publish genuine-fake Windows Update updates.

He also indicates, in a jumble, having discovered many vulnerabilities zero-day, having developed Trojans for Windows (in ring 0, at the heart of the system), having 300 valid certificates to sign code, and above all having access to four other certificate authorities that have not yet detected the intrusion.

While waiting for possible confirmation, the hacker promises further revelations. But without even going further, the ability to distribute genuine-fake Windows updates, if that is true, would alone be a worrying first.
