In terms of security updates, Microsoft has announced two new Crytical Remote Desktop vulnerabilities that affect all versions of Windows.
These new vulnerabilities are similar to the previous RDP vulnerability called BlueKeep, as it is a Worm that allows remote code execution. This could allow an attacker to remotely install malware on vulnerable machines which could then infect other vulnerable systems on the same network.
This could lead to press attacks Wannacry which spread on their own.
These vulnerabilities are more dangerous BlueKeep that were previously discovered as they affect all versions of Windows (Windows 7, 8, 10 and Windows Server).
