Windows OS is currently under ACTIVE ZERO-DAY ATTACK, will not be fixed until November 10th
[link to techcrunch.com (secure)]

"allows an attacker to escalate their level of user access in Windows... and run malware on the operating system."

Project Zero’s technical lead Ben Hawkes said Microsoft plans to issue a patch on November 10. Attackers are not known, their motives are not known, whether or not this has anything to do with the U.S. election (or if the timing is coincidental) is not known.

EDIT: Adding CK Dexter Haven's comment, "Make sure any Chrome based browser you are using is up to date."

Make sure any Chrome based browser you are using is up to date.

(or any browser for that matter)

"Attackers are using the Windows vulnerability in conjunction with a separate bug in Chrome, which Google disclosed and fixed last week. This new bug allows an attacker to escape Chrome’s sandbox, normally isolated from other apps, and run malware on the operating system."

Odd, we patched for this weeks ago but microsoft did say this could be phase 1 of the patch.

On our call with microsoft, we got the distinct feeling the vulnerability was far more serious then they were letting on

Exactly. Need to keep the system open to corrupt the election. Then they will patch it after that. Completely predictable.

I use Windows 10 for surfing the net and non-critical things such as music production and flight simulator, playing scrabble etc.

It HAS BEEN ACTING WEIRD the last day or two.....one thing it is doing is taking longer to SHUT DOWN when shutting Windows 10 down. Not sure if that has anything to do with this, but there's been this difference I'm detecting.

Just now, I went into Settings and manually ran the updates. It found and installed a new security update.
I can never figure out what the hell it is doing. I just make sure I do nothing that involves critical information, such as banking, accessing credit card websites, online shopping, etc. Microsoft is probably logging every little thing a Window 10 user does every second, so it's best to just limit that OS to doing non-critical things.
