 NSA spying on Microsoft Windows crash error reports

If you’ve used Microsoft Windows for any length of time, then a dialog box like this will be no stranger to you:

You may think that it’s harmless enough to click on the “Send Error Report” button and send details of the crash to Microsoft, but recent revelations about NSA surveillance underline that there are risks.

 

For instance, did you realise that by default Windows crash reports are sent unencrypted, potentially exposing information about the setup of your computers?

 

Indeed, according to a leaked presentation seen by Der Spiegel, the NSA’s TAO (Tailored Access Operations) division can be automatically notified whenever a targeted computer sends a crash report.

I highly doubt it, seeing your delusional posts on these forums.

You're paranoid.

The fact that no system is immune against any form of attack. Further NSA spying is nothing new.

 

Last, that's more our stupid generation entrusting so much about computer and devices and then complain about security and weak spot.

 

Off topic, What does the test team got to do with this? Test team responsibility is only about content such as balance, they do not have the responsibility about the bug.

Maybe my bad there. I thought I once read on the forum somewhere that all new content testing and developement was going on hiatus until game stability was restored. I guess I just imagined it.

So, what has the test team decided was needed to increase stability of current game? That is if you speak for test team. Personally I believe the recent crashing is a bit much. Not like losing connection to the server and accompanying pop up notification.

Of course if you do not "speak" for the test team, you are just trolling.

The enjoyment of NavyField instability not withstanding, the article itself remains accurate. Unless you know better? Feel free to share.

Think of it this way - it's good the information isn't encrypted. That way you can see what information NSA is collecting about you.

It's the other information you don't know they are collecting about you that you should be worrying about.

Have a nice day. :)

Dude, seriously...

Lets see here where to start, ok lets go with first point:
1. Windows XP is 13 years old now.
2. Continuing with point 1: ALOT of people have analyzed what goes in and out of windows based computers, including academics, military, government etc etc... This would be old news by now, and the uproar would've forced MS to fix their... stuff, Long LONG LONG ago.
3. Are you fing serious?

Anyways, same thing applies to all versions of windows. There are people that monitor everything that goes in and out of windows from top to bottom left to right because it is their job to. Anything abnormal would've made the front page of the news long ago and MS would've been sued up the waaaazzoooo... Seriously, people would exploit the security breach subject, just to make a buck...

Notice that it says targeted computers, so unless you are talking to someone online named osamaisawesome or intentionally/unintentionally doing something to bring unwanted attention and scrutiny from the US Governent on you then you most likely don't have anything to worry about.
