    At least personally, I don’t find this all that surprising. Windows privacy took a crash with windows 10 and given that I don’t trust it, I’m surprised people committing cyber crimes do.

      What to do when encounter a computer running Windows?

      Remove Windows. Should be a reflex reaction requiring no: thought, introspection, or doubt.

      This is true even without this particular revelation.

      Windows is the IE of OSes. What a waste throwing money at it.
