Latest Windows Security Issues
Last week there were sensationalist reports about Windows and the NSA’s hacking tools. In a nutshell the NSA was using security holes to hack what they could. The thing is Microsoft has already patched the holes, at least most of them. The only thing I think you may want to do is eliminate SMB1 from your computers. SMB1 is a 30 year old networking protocol which is unneeded in modern operating systems.
Here is how to remove SMB1 from your computer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2696547/how-to-enable-and-disable-smbv1,-smbv2,-and-smbv3-in-windows-vista,-windows-server-2008,-windows-7,-windows-server-2008-r2,-windows-8,-and-windows-server-2012 Only disable SMB1.

Paul (Don’t call me bro) Thurrott is showing his age and giving a run through of Microsoft Edge Browser’s shortcomings. I give the article an A+ for the Stevie Nicks reference.

One of these days, I’m going to launch my ‘Thurrott without the Snark’ twitter feed. It’ll cut it down to a manageable several tweets per day.
