Plus a lot of vulnerabilities in Windows 10 or 11 also exist in Windows XP but they're no longer mentioned.


Good point, security researchers often simply don't mention obsolete versions in security bulletins.


Windows XP on it's own, behind Windows Firewall and a router firewall not doing anything too controversial may be fine. Where the risks become higher is when you have many machines across the network. That one host would lower the overall security of everything else around limiting the ability to disable weak protocols.

Backwards compatibility with Windows/AD has always caused issues with Active Directory becoming such a juicy target in the way system-to-systems interacted.

I'm interested to know more around how a third-party was able to access the data with for others to learn and provide use-cases to increase security controls in areas where there may be deficiencies.


As someone who works within an operations team, the telemetry that is seen within MEM/365 is extremely useful for detecting issues and providing overall health of the environment.

While MS does not help itself with some of the more invasive tactics, some of the telemetry is super valuable in detecting issues with drivers, updates and many other things.

Even the episode of MS08-067 https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/57/ has some interest bits on early telemetry.


Legislation on e-waste, serviceability is extremely important to prevent this kind of preventable waste.
