Working BlueKeep Exploit Developed by DHS - skeeba - 06-18-2019
Quote:The Department of Homeland Security urged system administrators to update their Windows machines after testing a working BlueKeep exploit for Windows 2000.
The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed it has developed a working exploit for the “wormable” BlueKeep vulnerability. The agency issued an alert on Monday urging Windows users to update their machines as soon as possible.
The alert heightens concerns that malicious actors could soon also develop their own exploits of the BlueKeep flaw. The critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2019-0708), though fixed during Microsoft’s May Patch Tuesday Security Bulletin, continues to plague the security industry. Experts have warned that it could pave the way for a similar rapidly-propogating attack on the scale of the devastating 2017 WannaCry attack.

I just read this an hour ago. Not many people are using Windows 2000, but with an exploit like that it could be devastating. This is proof though that the DHS is trying to spy on us all. Maybe it's for an attack on Syria?

Why Syria specifically?

Who don't know of the tensions right now between the US and Syria? Just a few days ago they shot down one of our drones after they attacked an oil tanker. It's not looking good really.
