‘Microsoft Won’t Patch SMB Flaw That Only an Idiot Would Expose’
July 31st, 2017Cryptogon, 23 April 2017: “People who do this on purpose are idiots.”
By all means, though, companies should keep eliminating and outsourcing IT staff. haha That’s clearly working out great!

A Windows SMB vulnerability revealed late last week at DEF CON won’t be patched because Microsoft says the service should be firewalled off from the internet anyway.
The 20-year-old Windows bug was discovered by RiskSense bods, who combed Redmond’s file server code for flaws similar to the ones exploited by the NSA’s leaked EternalBlue tool.
