Understanding the Windows Credential Leak Flaw and How to Prevent It
This week there has been a lot of news about a flaw in Windows that could be used by web sites to easily gain access to a visitor's Windows login name and password. When I tested this flaw it was downright scary. Using a test site for this flaw, the site was able to get my test Microsoft Account login name and the hash of its password in a few seconds.

News about this flaw was recently reported again by VPN company Perfect Private and by ValdikSS, who is affiliated with the Russian VPN service ProtoVPN. They have both set up test sites that demonstrate this flaw so that visitors can determine if they are affected and should change their passwords.
