Windows 10 Version 1703 End of Life

The Windows 10 version 1703 Enterprise and Education editions will reach End of Life on October 9, 2019, and you can't pay for patches either. The Home, Pro, Pro for Workstations, and IoT Core Editions of Windows 10 version 1703 reached End of Service last year, on October 8, 2018.

There is no extended support available for any edition of Windows 10, version 1703 and will no longer be supported after October 9, 2019. That means no more monthly security updates containing patches for the latest security threats. The announcement was published to alert Windows 10 users of version 1703 to update their devices to the latest version of Windows as soon as possible. Update to version 1903 before version 1703 reaches its end of life this October.

Let MJJT Consultants guide you with a walk-through for updating to the latest stable version of Windows. MJJT staff has the expertise to help all users still on Windows 10 version 1703 to update their devices.

The Most Exploited Vulnerabilities in 2016-2019 as Reported by the FBI. It probably won't surprise you that 7 of the 8 most exploited software vulnerabilities are to be found in Microsoft products. Their widespread use across organizations and institutions makes them an ideal candidate for cybercriminals. According to U.S. Government technical analysis, malicious cyber actors most often exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technology. OLE allows documents to contain embedded content from other applications such as spreadsheets. But also Adobe Flash Player makes it to the list. Older Unpatched Systems are Vulnerable for Cybersecurity Attacks   A recent report on the most exploited vulnerabilities by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI listed the most routinely exploited vulnerabilities in the wild. The interesting thing is that most of these vulnerabilities are pretty old, yet cyb

Anyone running Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 is "strongly encouraged" to install Microsoft patch right now. Microsoft January 2020 Patch Tuesday fixes 49 security bugs after the US National Security Agency (NSA) discovered a critical bug in the operating system. These 49 vulnerabilities, 7 are classified as Critical, 41 as Important, and 1 as Moderate. Microsoft patched a spoofing vulnerability present in the Windows user-mode cryptographic library, CRYPT32.DLL, on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019 systems. The vulnerability could allow for remote code execution. In other words, allow hackers to compromise trusted network connections using spoofed certificates to deliver malicious executable code under the pretense of a legitimately trusted entity, commit man-in-the-middle attacks, and decrypt confidential information. For example, HTTPS connections, signed emails and files, and user-mode processes launching si

    Emergency Patch Released for SMBv3 Vulnerability Microsoft released the KB4551762 security update to patch the RCE vulnerability found in Microsoft SMBv3 a couple of days after the flaw was disclosed as part of the March 2020 Patch Tuesday. The Windows SMBv3 Remote Code Execution vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2020-0796 and dubbed as SMBGhost, allows a remote and unauthenticated hacker to execute the arbitrary code on an exposed device. Microsoft stated that: "To exploit the vulnerability against a server, an unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted packet to a targeted SMBv3 server. To exploit the vulnerability against a client, an unauthenticated attacker would need to configure a malicious SMBv3 server and convince a user to connect to it." Microsoft originally planned to fix the flaw as part of its March 2020 Patch Tuesday update but pulled the plug at the last minute. Now the tech giant followed up with KB4551762 to fix the SMBGhost
