With all the security updates MS have been doing to Windows over the years, it should be really secure by now, -

Microsoft just gave a big reason to upgrade to Windows 11 24H2 with faster, more secure web by Sayan Sen Microsoft today has announced that it has enabled JScript9Legacy as the default scripting engine in Windows 11 24H2 and newer versions like 25H2, thus replacing the decades-old JScript runtime. The company says that Windows 11 users will now benefit from the "improved performance and security features the new JScriptLegacy scripting engine offers." By switching to JScript9Legacy, Microsoft says that it aims to reduce vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. In the past, Windows has shown that it is vulnerable to scripting engine attacks. Even as recently as August of 2024, Microsoft issued patches for a remote code execution flaw under CVE-2024-38178. And the web is indeed a dangerous place, especially for novice Windows users. The new JScript9Legacy engine enforces stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate XSS-like attacks. To put it simply, for enterprises and home users alike, this change should help protect against web-based threats that exploit outdated script engines. For those who may not be familiar, JScript has powered Windows scripting since the late 1990s and first made its debut with Internet Explorer 3.0. Its compatibility with a broad range of web content made it widespread, but also leaves thousands of systems exposed to modern attack vectors. According to Microsoft, the new engine replaces JScript.dll with JScript9Legacy.dll and the shift is designed to maintain backward compatibility for existing scripts while offering more robust security on the latest version of Windows. Microsoft notes that "no additional action is required from you to benefit from JScript9Legacy, nor will it impact existing workflows", and thus for most users, no further action is required. You can find the announcement post here on Microsoft's Tech Community website. -

GameStop is selling infamous Nintendo Switch 2 stapler in crazy auction, now at $17,000 by Usama Jawad After a lot of hype and anticipation, Nintendo finally launched the Switch 2 last month, priced at $449. The console was available at multiple third-party retailers, including Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, and Target, with many hosting midnight launch events to celebrate the launch too. While the Switch's successor has enjoyed decent popularity among gamers in the past few weeks, at least one unit became very infamous on launch day. Back in June, a GameStop employee at a New York City outlet stapled the receipt to the box of a brand new Nintendo Switch 2. While this would have been a harmless act in most cases, the staple pins damaged the display of the console, much to the anguish of the buyer. Now, GameStop has decided to make something positive out of this infamous blunder and is auctioning off multiple items that were involved in the incident. As can be seen in the X (formerly Twitter) post below (thanks, GameSpot), GameStop is selling the following items on eBay: The Black Stapler The First Stapled Nintendo Switch 2 The Box The Staple The company is clearly having some fun in the process, as it has also attached a certificate of authenticity signed by GameStop's CEO himself. In addition, the certificate references the fact that the infamous staple pin has been "carefully extracted and preserved" as the steel wire fastener is now a "tiny, twisted piece of GameStop lore". It is important to note that proceeds from the auction will go to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. This is probably one of the reasons why the listing has become extremely popular on eBay, as people are likely looking to own a piece of history and a console, while doing some good in the process. At the time of writing, the top bid has hit almost $17,000. It will be interesting to see what the top bid ends up being once the auction wraps up in about six days. People with money to splurge sometimes go to crazy extremes when trying to own a piece of history - remember the $870,000 sealed 1987 NES copy of The Legend of Zelda?
