Thanks for sharing this alert, Brownie2019. It's always good to stay on top of these active exploits—Microsoft vulnerabilities like this one in the Remote Access Connection Manager can be a real headache if not patched quickly.

For anyone affected, I'd recommend checking for Windows updates immediately via Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. If you're on an enterprise setup, make sure your admins are aware. CISA's advisory (linked in the article) emphasizes that this is being exploited in the wild, so don't delay.
