Preparations are made by the government to deal with every threat including cyber crime. Now big information has come out for Microsoft users. A new warning has been shared by Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-in). This warning has been given regarding many Microsoft products. It has been said that many security bypasses have been done by the company and with its help it can become easier for hackers to target.
The agency under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has raised many other serious issues. Besides, users have also been asked to be careful. Cert-In said, ‘Many reports have come to light and Microsoft Windows allows attackers to do this. This makes it easier for you to compromise the target system due to its security features.
New warning-
The agency’s report states that a number of vulnerabilities have been observed in the proxy driver. The Mark of the Web in Microsoft Windows may also allow hackers. SmartScreen Security Feature Protection also bypasses the Mark Off the Web mechanism. This is the reason that with its help, a path is created for malware to reach the target system. Targeting can also be done by sending special requests.
Which products are at risk?
You need to be aware of Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Developer Tools, Azure, Brower, System Center, Microsoft Dynamics, and Exchange Server. The government agency has also issued a new notification regarding this. To avoid this, you should always keep the system updated. To remain alert, it is very important that you do not open any pop-up and you have to be very cautious before clicking on unknown links.
