This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
While Microsoft told BleepingComputer in March that it would "consider addressing" this zero-day flaw, even though it "does not meet the bar for immediate servicing," it has yet to release security updates to patch this heavily exploited Windows vulnerability.
Sure, they have to triage threats to mitigate but you'd think active exploitation campaigns would bump up the priority a bit.
The main issue with this is that the computer is compromised before this attack can occur. The user has already fallen prey to a virus. This exploit isn't a super urgent priority really because it only affects already compromised PCs.

Wait it already requires a compromised system?
However, user interaction is required for successful exploitation, as it involves tricking potential victims into visiting a malicious page or opening a malicious file.
Yep! So it's essentially just user error, with the user downloading a virus, which then lets attackers do other stuff. So......a virus.
They definitely made it sound more "fuck windows!" in the title though, which is nice hey?
I'm sorry, who the heck made the PRC stars white‽
