When it comes to security, how do you respond to those critical vulnerabilities.
Please provide comments and solutions that are helpful to the author of this topic.
Drop everything. Rush home and update your computer.
That's what I thought, but apparently that's not the case for all.As long as the computer is not being used, it is quite safe!
Sorry...it sounds wisely and professional but it's just a useless truism. It explains nothing ang gives any advice.Just let me teach some to all off security experts: "The major Critical Vulnerabilitie in your computer, is yourself, you are human you will fail".
Really ? Do you think that the most hacks are made using special tools and well done malwares? No, 80% off the hacks are human hacks, 80% off the malware tools is the user o install them, open links, etc. Social hacking is the most common form off hacking, the human behavior are the weak part in security.Sorry...it sounds wisely and professional but it's just a useless truism.

Only 80%? virus, hack tools and malwares were developed by humans and it was not 80%. Many users download a lot of things and they don't care if they get infected or have a problem afterwards. "Advanced" users are concerned about the security and privacy of their data. Malwares, viruses and ramsomware will continue to exist as long as there are people who are not concerned about improving the security of their computers.Really ?

So, 80% off the times a hack is successful because human error, is the human behavior o fails, not the security solution....
Listen to darknet diaries, and see how the most extraordinary hacks begin, all are successful because some humans install something that should not be there.
Great hackers with skill to program and devolve great hacking tools are rare, Script kiddies are a lot, they just put that tool in a crack and wait for some user that install it, just wait for the human error. (Script kiddies, is this term still in use? In my time was the name to give too noob hackers)
Sorry for poor English
This ...The vast majority of reported critical vulnerabilities are blown way out of proportion.
And this!I don't believe there is a queue of elite hackers, who don't sleep day and night to exploit a vulnerability in my OS or software. So I just turn the PC on and Windows does the rest.
