    Show us the article or source, since NSA involvement is quite a serious issue. Then again, having the NSA tell Microsoft to tell their Window users around the globe to update to Windows 10 or above is... ya know? It feels sketchy, especially with the issues with Windows 10 compatibility.

    Edit: I just checked the news about it on YouTube. A serious flaw only in Windows 10's security system, allowing hackers or third party surveillance to access your system through a backdoor. So you're technically right for updating with the newer version to fix the issue, but I'm using Windows 8, not 10. I'm quite unaffected by this security breach; and I'm still not going to update my Windows 8 to 10 until I purchase a new laptop.

    A Windows flaw on the very same day Windows 7 support was stopped? Hm, suspicious. Coincidence? I think not.
