Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline

  Happen to have any examples in the last 5 years? Because I see lots of fear mongering but have not seen or heard of a non scam/phishing attack in years.

    First off, saying that a system will never have a new vulnerability discovered is beyond naive. It’s the whole reason LTS versions of products exist. To be on a version that constantly is kept up with as new vulnerabilities are discovered.

    And sure. Here’s a list I found after 10 seconds of research. www.cvedetails.com/…/Microsoft-Windows-8.html?pag…

      First off, saying that a system will never have a new vulnerability discovered is beyond naive. It’s the whole reason LTS versions of products exist. To be on a version that constantly is kept up with as new vulnerabilities are discovered. Just because you don’t see them and don’t run in those circles doesn’t mean they don’t exist. So saying something like “there won’t be any new vulnerabilities” is just wrong.

      I never said that.

      I am asking of the vulnerability used on end users not a list of what white hats have found. (My argument is not that these old OS are safe just not the OH GOD levels of unsafe).

        You said there would be no new vulnerabilities. mander.xyz/comment/4923077

        “On one hand yes, no more updates. On the other hand, no more new vulnerability and day 0 exploits.”

        You said exactly that.

        Also these are not all found by white hats. And those vulnerabilities are what is used in an attack. I’m beginning to think you don’t understand security well enough to be making these claims.
