But it is confirmed by Microsoft and other researchers that in fact, Windows users need to be aware and patch their systems ASAP.

"Microsoft is aware of a security feature bypass vulnerability in Secure Channel (Schannel) that affects all supported releases of Microsoft Windows," Microsoft said in the advisory. That's everybody, folks.

It isn’t a bug if it was purposeful.
Does anyone really think NSA didn’t use it to snoop?

Firefox just did an “important!” point release. I wonder if this was why?

WAY worse things can already happen to you than an obscure MITM attack while using a public wifi net in a coffee shop, hotel or such.
