[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 823865, post: 849878"] Theoretical. you can't be sure, Windows is closed source, they could send all their telemetry "a la" Win10 via svchost.exe you wouldn't know. i knew a guy working in intelligence claiming that every Windows has a built-in backdoor. Not really. The hacking tools aren't used on the target Windows' system by the attacker, attackers install the attack platform on his (usually) Linux system and launch his attacks from there. Serious hacking would be network penetration via DDOS (or else) then once the system compromised, the attacker would upload and hide a specifically crafted malware for persistence (hence it will always be compatible since the attacker isn't an idiot and would do reseaches first about his target...) In fact, they are even best on XP or Win7 since their dev had decades to fine tunes them. [/QUOTE]
