[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.

Hmmm... I would bet $$ those are all known. If they are going to tell or not is another story.

Well the exploiters know, lol. Or are you suggesting the Google team, Windows, or potentially someone in gov is aware?
 Quoting: nautonier


Gov has hardware backdoors built in that go over the electric lines since the 80's

This doesn't answer my question, but yes you're definitely correct in the sense that most hardware is already compromised.

Intel inside.

*old man chuckle* "Most"? ALL hardware. Still in the Jesuit-Vatican house of illusions? ALL hardware sends intelligence back to the Vatican tech. agencies. Extreme outlier would be offline storage.

Incontrovertible.

Got an alert that confirms this and they stated that they were targeting health care and hospitals.

This exploit is typically used for ransom ware and apparently one patient died few months ago due to these attacks.

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 in time for the election! Sometimes the Deep State isn’t very subtle.
