Microsoft released a free software patch Tuesday to fix a major security flaw in its Windows 10 operating system.

The flaw, which was discovered by the U.S. National Security Agency, could allow hackers to intercept seemingly secure communications.

But rather than exploit the flaw for its own intelligence needs, the NSA tipped off Microsoft so that it can fix the system for everyone.

I strongly recommend updating if you have windows 10
 
Good on Mircosoft and good on the NSA for catching the vulnerability.
