Get ready for major Windows 10 exploits and security vulnerabilities! Because 32TB (32,000 Gigabytes) of Windows operating builds/blueprints/source code just got leaked online. Now any hacker can list trough private/manufacturers Windows source code. Of course, your average Joe doesn’t even know where to download this, yet alone store it, but it is circulating online.
The Register made one of the first articles about it. Also it was talked about on 4chan here.
But to sum it up, the leaked data is:
- online but not easy to find
- “top-secret” builds that were not meant for the public
- confidential Windows-developer-only internal data
- all kinds of unreleased Windows versions
- important debugging data
- kernel code, drivers, and other “manufacture only” code
- and many more “source kits” that were available only to a select few
Honestly, most of this dumped data is not that useful. But, as with any other leaks, there will be some golden nuggets for those that know what to look for. Anyway, windows is still a tech giant and will keep on rollin’. But, this just goes to show you how Windows is not as safe as people believe.
What do you steemer think?
