Ever since Windows 10 was released, it has been known that the new operating system is spying on its owners.
A new report from BetaNews indicates that the company collects data even when telemetry settings are disabled. This means that information leaves your computer even if you don't allow it.
How did they discover her? leakage data?
On a computer running Linux Mint they installed a virtual machine with Windows 10. Using a DD-WRT router they managed to capture its traffic Internet.
Although the telemetry settings in Windows 10 have been turned off, the result will leave you surprised!
During the entire recording (8 hours), the router was connected a total of 5.508 times to servers of third parties, of which 3.967 times were connection attempts to 51 different Microsoft IP addresses.
We should mention that this report, although it has very large numbers, can not be right. This number may well include the connections made by the operating system to check for updates, or just to automatically set the time.
However, however, the number of 3.967 connections within 8 hours is impressive, although nothing indicates that there have been violations of privacy.
