The FBI is warning organizations that are still using Microsoft Windows 7 they are in danger of attackers exploiting vulnerabilities in the unsupported operating system to gain network access. Microsoft ended support for the old operating system on Jan. 14 and stopped automatically issuing patches. The FBI and Microsoft are urging organizations to update to a more recent version of Windows instead. As time passes, Windows 7 becomes more vulnerable to exploitation due to lack of security updates and new vulnerabilities discovered, the FBI says. As of July, about 20% of all Windows-based devices still used Windows 7, according to Statcounter.”]
