Russian Hackers Exploit Firefox and Windows Zero-Days, Urgent Action Needed
Microsoft has issued a warning to 450 million Windows users to update their systems following the discovery of a critical vulnerability exploited by the RomCom cyber threat group. This vulnerability, now patched, allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on PCs through a combination of Windows and browser flaws. With Windows 10 support ending in 2025, Microsoft offers a $30 extension for an additional year, but many users will need to upgrade to Windows 11 or new hardware to maintain security. The situation is expected to impact PC sales, with a forecasted recovery in 2025.
