ALERT: XP Vulnerability

ALERT:  XP Vulnerability

If you are reluctant to change the OS (Operating System) that is running on your computer(s), take note!

Holes in security are already starting to show…

There are already some issues with XP that are a result of the ending of support to the operating system. The biggest issue with XP so far is a bug found in Internet Explorer dubbed “Operation Clandestine Fox.”. This bug in the browser allows hackers to access your system and view, alter, or delete files.  It also allows them to download malicious programs, and make users so they have full access to your computer.

Microsoft said that there will be a security update to ensure that this bug is fixed, but only for Windows 7 and 8.  It will not cover Microsoft XP.  Any future security updates will not apply to Microsoft XP as well. This means any more problems in the future will be taken care of for Windows 7 & 8 only.  Microsoft XP will not have access to these updates, and any computer system that is running Windows XP (and its data/information) will be left open to attackers.

If you would like some more information on the ending of XP support, we can help you make a smooth transition to an up-to-date (ie supported) OS.  For more information, call 204-800-3166, or email helpdesk@tbyd.ca

 

You can’t stop CyberCriminals from targeting your company or employees.

But you can be prepared for their arrival, and have full shields up.
