A few days ago, Microsoft warned Windows users about an unpatched critical bug that would allow hackers to gain access to all personal information by installing malicious programs on users’ systems. This bug found in the Windows Print Spooler service was named ‘PrintNightmare’. According to researchers, hackers can use this ‘PrintNightmare’ bug to gain complete control over the user’s system. Microsoft has been working hard to fix this problem, and finally the company has come up with an emergency Windows patch to fix this problem.
The company said that the malicious bug is available in all versions of Windows. So the company has come up with a fix to fix this and urges all Microsoft users to install the updates immediately. In a statement, Microsoft said: “Microsoft is completing an investigation into a remote code execution vulnerability that was affecting Windows Print Spooler, and has released a security update to address this error. We recommend that you install these updates immediately. ”
Microsoft has released patches for Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1 and other supported versions of Windows 10. However, Microsoft has not yet released patches for Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 Version 1607. The company says security updates for these will be released soon.
Earlier, Bleepingcomputer reported that Microsoft took a few days to acknowledge the existence of the bug found in the Windows Print Spooler service and then alerted all users.
