Can't open this link.
It redirects me automatically to:
https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers?sessionId=3_cc-session_6db36748-fc58-4122-b23b-440f607d1a25 which gets blocked

So this is only related to company PC's and not "critical" for home user as Homeland say

It's an article of ZeroLogon vulnerability

I like the article but Techcrunch is data mining with their links. Do not whitelist their redirects.

No redirects here. All the links went directly to the sources.

Like @security123 said it's not for home users it's for servers.
From the article:

Homeland Security’s cybersecurity advisory unit has issued a rare emergency alert to government departments after the recent disclosure of a “critical”-rated security vulnerability in server versions of Microsoft Windows.

No redirects for me with Edge tracking protection on strict and uBlock Origin at almost default filters.

I guess the site use then some script and if stuff get blocked, it redirects to the link I get.

So I need to change my settings.
Thanks Spawn & Gandalf_The_Grey

Since we are in EU, it seems to be GDPR's cookie. It opens up for a sec, then it skips it and continues to the webpage by itself.
