Well, everything comes from the study by Positive Technologies, article: https://www.ptsecurity.com/ww-en/analytics/atm-vulnerabilities-2018/ Actual "paper": https://www.ptsecurity.com/upload/corporate/ww-en/analytics/ATM-Vulnerabilities-2018-eng.pdf https://regmedia.co.uk/2018/11/14/positive_tech_atm_vulnerabilities.pdf TLDR: If you can have physical access to either the machine (and its connections) or to the network it is on (preferrably on the segment between the ATM and the router), it is game over. (hardly "news"). Adding to it the "corollary" on the number of machines running XP as if it was - even remotely - relevant is the usual FUD spread by the journalists (that possibly didn't actually read the paper or even if they did, did not understand its contents). jaclaz

Good news for users using Avast or AVG antivirus protection, the file "rpcss.dll" of KB4466388 and KB4467689 in English (ENU) is no longer incorrectly detected as malware. @someguy25 @Bersaglio If interested, created a batch where this problem will be corrected when MUI packages are used. Any appropriate language code in the batch needs to be customized (SET "LangCode=XXXX").

Exactly. And I'm pretty sure they'll start doing the same thing for Windows 7 soon...

OK. But read my previous post 1st. I guess I just found the answer you sought...

With TWO of them, you may do something (actually rather pointless, still ...) : https://www.delock.com/produkt/65234/pdf.html?sprache=en CAT5/CAT6 cable is actually very good to carry non-etherrnet signals too, and in some cases you can exceed USB length specifications (around 4.5 mt length without booster/repeater), very, very old example: https://web.archive.org/web/20080422023938/https://girasoli.org/?p=58 There are actually some (very few AFAIK) devices that (for *some reasons*) have an USB port in the form of an RJ45 port (and no, it is VERY unlikely that you have one of them): https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/product/TCSMCNAM3M002P/connection-cable-usb-rj45---for-connection-between-pc-and-drive/ ... where over time they will become random scraps of plastic/metal, not entirely unlike ratchet screwdrivers fruits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_races_and_species_in_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Ratchet_Screwdriver_Fruit jaclaz

I installed security only updates, starting with November 2017, and went backwards. All superseeded updates wouldn't install, saying that they weren't required.
