Tianji software news in the early morning of January 1, August 3, Beijing time, Microsoft again broke the Convention and urgently released the latest security patch kb2286198 to fix the "quick automatic execution" vulnerability that has recently been attacked by hackers. As of press time, security guard has pushed the official patch to 0.3 billion users, and users can fix the vulnerability with one click as prompted. According to statistics, in the past half month, only security guards have intercepted more than 0.3 million Trojan attacks against the vulnerability for users, with an average of more than 20 thousand million attacks per day!



Dr. Shi Xiaohong, a security expert, said that Microsoft fixed vulnerabilities on a regular basis in the second week of each month and only released temporary patches in special circumstances. Microsoft once again made an exception because of the "quick-way automatic execution" vulnerability that was exposed in middle July and then attacked accordingly.CodeA large number of Trojans, such as fake faces, were quickly exploited to spread in USB devices such as USB flash drives. USB flash drives and mobile hard drives, such as print stores and offices, are frequently used on users' computers. After recruitment, not only will computers become slower, but there will be more shortcut icons that cannot be deleted on the desktop.



When the trojan industry chain was about to launch large-scale attack shortcuts, a number of security vendors quickly issued warnings. Among them, the security center took the lead in providing temporary emergency patches to protect the computers of most Chinese netizens in a timely manner. "The vulnerability that exploits the USB flash drive is like the SARS epidemic, which is prone to cross-infection. After emergency patches are released for hundreds of millions of users' computers, it is equivalent to putting a professional protective cover on everyone, greatly curbing the large-scale spread of the Trojan epidemic ." Dr. Shi Xiaohong said.



According to statistics from the security center, as of November 24, August 2, security guards intercepted 0.3153 million attacks against shortcuts, more than 95% of these Trojans and advertisements are spread through USB flash drives and web downloads.ProgramIn addition, there are a small number of webpage Trojan attacks.




"Ordinary users only need to use security guard and install Microsoft official patches automatically as prompted by to completely eliminate the security risks caused by shortcuts. Note that the official patch released by Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP SP2 operating system, however, the emergency patch provided by security guard half a month ago can still protect XP SP2 users' computers." Shi Xiaohong said, "however, the Patch pushed by a security software on the XP SP2 user system is actually a patch on the embedded XP SP2, which has been verified by security engineers, this vulnerability cannot be blocked."



It is reported that this is the third time Microsoft has released emergency patches in addition to monthly security updates since this year, the previous two vulnerabilities were fixed, respectively, the IE "AURORA" vulnerability, which was severely attacked by IE browser memory damage and caused by Google's hacker attacks.
