Steve KoteckiPicked up by Gizmodo, acclaimed Californian security company SafeBreach has revealed that software pre-installed on PCs has left “millions” of users exposed to hackers. Moreover, that estimate is conservative with the number realistically set to be hundreds of millions. The injection of this code impacts both Windows 10 business and home PCs and enables hackers to gain complete control of your computer. The end result is many Windows 10 users exposed to this problem are unlikely to even know they have it because who actually uses pre-installed bloatware? It’s frustrating, but this level of partnering is also what made Windows such a global hit in the first place.
