Microsoft is now rolling out an emergency Windows security patch to address a flaw in the Windows Print Spooler service. The new vulnerability, called PrintNightmare, was found out last week, and Microsoft has rated it as critical as attackers can remotely attack your PC by installing programs, view and delete data and even create new user accounts with full admin rights. Microsoft has had to release patches for Windows 10 as well as older Windows versions such as Windows 8 and has even released a security update for Windows 7, which officially went out of support last year. Microsoft is subsequently releasing more security patches for other versions of Windows to prevent the new vulnerability. Microsoft has noted the latest patch doesn’t fix all systems and is still currently working on releasing new security updates to fix the flaw.
