A few weeks ago the Asahi News on-line reported
the following:
「ウィンドウズ」に新たな弱点 PC乗っ取られる危険性
2014年10月15日22時48分
米マイクロソフトは15日(日本時間)、基本ソフト(OS)「ウィンドウズ」で新たな弱点が見つかったと発表した。ハッカーの攻撃を受ける可能性があり、同社は修正プログラムをきちんと導入するよう呼びかけている。
弱点はウィンドウズのすべてのバージョンで見つかった。攻撃を受けると、パソコンが乗っ取られて情報を盗まれたり、犯罪に使われたりする恐れがある。多くのパソコンは必要なプログラムが自動更新される設定になっているが、設定を切っている場合は、自ら更新作業をする必要がある。

Microsoft in the US
announced on the 15th (October) (Japan
time) that a new weak point was found in the operating system (OS) of "Windows".
There was a possibility that it could come under attack from hackers, and the
said company was calling for the installation of a proper corrective program.
The weak point was found in all versions of
Windows. When it was under attack, the PC would be taken over, and information
would be stolen and there were fears that it would be used for a crime. Many PCs had a setting that would renew the necessary program automatically, but
in situation that the setting was turned off, it was necessary to do renewal
work manually.
In a report by a security company in the US , it was said that in this
summer, a hacker-group from the pro-Russian party was abusing this weak point
to conduct spying activity on Ukrainian administration officials and people
related to them.
So, be careful when you use your personal
computer.
