If only you knew how many critical systems are running old versions of Windows... It's mind boggling

You laugh but the fact that you got a login confirmation notification means he got your password now. He'll just need to guess your email password next and you'll be truly owned. Set up 2fa on your email account if you haven't set it up already.

In the UK, a lot of our government still uses XP and a lot of our public embedded devices (e.g. the tills in the Co-Op) run on Internet Explorer.

Some random Thai hacker using 7 isn't that much of a stretch.

He's probably using a VM and/or faking his fingerprint.

Clearly they should be using Windows XP instead.

7!!! is a really high number, I doubt there will ever be that many versions of Windows

Whatever, windows 7 was sick

How can you use such an operating system now

To be honest, it still works better than Windows 10 or Windows 11.

At that point you could probably have a middle school just hack them back.

could just be the custom user-agent string configured in whatever browser or script they're running.

I'm using a Win7 machine at work, because I have to support a system that saw it's last update in 2014. There is actually a Win10 compatible version of this software, but it only supports maybe a third of the chips of the original software, and sadly the ones we use are not among those.

And it can get worse. I've got an oscilloscope that "runs" under a heavily modified version of Win98...

A lot of legacy equipment still uses 98/XP machines because it literally just needs to work.

My nuke silo runs temple os.

i'd use windows 7 for daily drive, way better than 8,10 or 11 imo

because it looks so good

To hacking bro

That's obviously Albanian Hacker, creator of Albanian Virus
