The news emerged late last week and realized that 32TB of Windows code 10 It had been stolen and made public. Confronted with this information, Microsoft has confirmed that indeed the code that was made public is part of Windows 10, but it is only a tool used by partners and OEMs. Alertou também que o volume de dados me muito menor do que o indicado inicialmente.

The publication of the supposed Microsoft code have happened last Friday on the site betaarchive.com and cover several internal builds of Windows 10, the code of PnP drivers, USB and Wi-Fi stack, storage drivers, and to the future Windows kernel 10 ARM. Esta informação ocuparia 32TB de espaço.

This information was confirmed by Microsoft, but it has a major change. The company revealed that the code is effectively your, but that is the Shared Source Kit, a piece of code that partners and OEMs use. There is also a big difference in the volume of data, que afinal é de apenas 1,2GB.

Despite being critical to Microsoft that this leak has happened, the truth is that the code that has been revealed is already in possession of many partners and other stakeholders, não sendo por isso algo que seja um segredo dentro da empresa.

However, and since the news was made public, betaarchive.com the site has removed the code that was public, tendo-o entregue à Microsoft para avaliação.

This keylogger is present in an audio driver that came with the HP computers, and is intended to detect whether one of the keys associated with the control of the audio was clicked. Não haveria problema se estes registos não estivessem a ser guardados num ficheiro acessível facilmente no Windows.

Malware designed to exploit this flaw could quickly access the user-written data, onde se incluem os dados de acesso a qualquer serviço e as suas passwords.

How to detect and remove the HP keylogger?

The simplest way to detect the keylogger is active on your HP computer by detecting the presence of one of the following applications on Windows

C:\WindowsSystem32MicTray64.exe
C:\WindowsSystem32MicTray.exe

If one is to be present, deve removê-la ou renomeá-la para que não seja executada e assim não sejam recolhidos estes dados.

HP is already working to solve this problem, should very soon release an update to fix. curiously, the previous version of this driver, dated 2015, não tinha esta aplicação presente.
