Security researchers have found tens of thousands of Windows computers worldwide infected with DoublePulsar, a suspected NSA spying implant, as a result of a free tool released on GitHub for anyone to use. Microsoft quickly downplayed the security risks by releasing patches for all exploited vulnerabilities, but there are still risks in the wild with unsupported systems as well as with those who haven’t yet installed the patches. Microsoft officials released a statement saying: “We doubt the accuracy of the reports and are investigating” Windows users who have not applied MS17-010 by now are strongly advised to download the patches as soon as possible.
