the National Security Advisory doesn’t usually concern itself with cybersecurity. But earlier this month, the agency issued a special warning about a new security threat called the BlueKeep vulnerability. That’s a good indication of just how serious this threat could be, so read on to find out if your computer could be affected and what you can do to protect yourself. Spoiler alert: if you’re running an outdated version of Windows, you need to update it ASAP.
Microsoft regularly issues updates to plug security holes and/or fix bugs. So why is the cybersecurity community making such a big deal about this particular vulnerability? Well, BlueKeep has been given a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) rating of 9.8 out of 10, essentially meaning that it’s like an incoming 8.0 earthquake.
The BlueKeep vulnerability is a bug that could allow hackers to exploit Remote Desktop Services to run code on a PC without needing a password (or any user interaction at all) to get in. This code could be ransomware or any other type of malware. Even worse, BlueKeep is wormable, meaning that it can spread to other computers through networks and grow exponentially. BlueKeep is giving cybersecurity professionals bad flashbacks to the 2017 WannaCry ransomware virus, which spread to hundreds of thousands of computers in 150 countries in just a few hours.
