Earlier on this week, Neowin.net covered the Patch Tuesday vulnerability fixes; now Symantec has reported that hackers have begun to exploit the bug on un-patched machines. Reports suggest that the hackers were successful in exploiting the vulnerability only three days after Patch Tuesday
Usually when vulnerabilities are published in Microsoft's reports regarding Patch Tuesday, there is the expectation that hackers will use that information and usually be successful within 30 days. However in this case, there has been some surprise that the individuals have done it in a significantly less amount of time.

Hackers and Exploits are the main reason why people should updated as soon as the update is released. :rolleyes:

Piracy is also one of the main reasons why so many people are vulnerable to hackers, Genuine will always be the best choice. :D

They use pirated version just to bypass the genuine activator and make itself the OS genuine. But in genuine it will guaranteed its real and there will be no problems especially Windows Update.
