Data snooping: IT Expert warns of
update to Windows 10

Warns for update to Windows 10: IT Expert Karsten Zimmer

Menden, Germany. The new operating
system Windows 10, given away free to many users,
transmits a constant data flow, warns a German IT
expert.

For weeks, many computer owners get the free offer to
update their system to Windows 10. "A tempting offer you
should keep your hands off", according to the German
computer expert Karsten Zimmer. Karsten Zimmer a renowned
IT Forensic expert employed by the German Federal Office
for Security in Information Technology who searched among
other security problems for Parliament Trojans: "Microsoft
does not care for data protection with Windows 10, they
take your privacy away."

Those who installed Windows 10 on their computer, should
expect "that data is sent out constantly." Under certain
circumstances even particularly sensitive data like
passwords. Even if someone does not sign with his
Microsoft account, "data and passwords are sent out",
warns Karsten Zimmer.

Users are clearly identifiable

This includes information about the hardware, installed
games and the folder structure. Home users are barely able
to stop this, according to the expert, "and even large
companies who use Windows 10 Enterprise, can't prevent
this one hundred percent". In addition, each user is
clearly identifiable. Because Windows 10 generates a
one-time ID which is permanently assigned to each user,
Karsten Zimmer adds: "This enables targeted advertising to
be sent to them."

Another sticking point, according to Zimmer: The
operating system can independently install and uninstall
software. In addition, with the new operating system
Microsoft is trying to completely stop hardware and
software piracy. However, this could also have the
negative effect that a video card or a printer without
Microsoft's certification can not be used.
