Windows 10 ESU Button Still MIA as Microsoft Extends Security Cover to 2027
Microsoft's Windows 10 Extended Security Updates programme now runs until October 2027, but a slow, phased rollout of the 'Enroll now (ESU)' button in Windows Update has left many eligible machines unprotected. The forced Microsoft account requirement and recent update quality issues add friction, making careful preparation essential for anyone relying on the $30 stopgap.
CISA Flags Zero-Day in INVT VT-Designer and HMITool: Remote Code Execution via Malicious Files
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released three industrial control system advisories on August 26, 2025, highlighting a zero-day remote code execution flaw in INVT's VT-Designer and HMITool, message integrity issues in Schneider Electric Modicon M340 controllers, and an authentication bypass in Danfoss AK-SM 8xxA system managers. The INVT vulnerability can be triggered by opening a malicious project file and has no vendor patch, while the other advisories offer vendor fixes and emphasize network segmentation and compensating controls. OT operators are urged to immediately inventory assets, apply patches where possible, and enforce strict file handling to mitigate high-risk exposure.
INVT HMITool and VT-Designer Riddled with 9 RCE Vulnerabilities, Windows Industrial Systems at Risk
Nine high-severity remote code execution vulnerabilities in INVT's HMITool and VT-Designer affect Windows engineering workstations, enabling attackers to run arbitrary code via malicious project files. With no vendor patches available after months of failed coordination, organizations must apply immediate mitigations such as network isolation, application hardening, and strict file‑handling controls. The flaws highlight the urgent need for better security practices in industrial software tools.
Windows 10 Security Updates End on October 14: Healthcare’s Looming Compliance and Insurance Crisis
Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, leaving healthcare organizations grappling with legacy systems, HIPAA compliance risks, and cyber insurance pitfalls. The Extended Security Updates program offers temporary relief, but only a well-documented migration to Windows 11—coupled with compensating controls—can mitigate the operational, regulatory, and financial threats. CIOs must act now to inventory assets, harden legacy devices, and align with insurers before the deadline hits.

ARToken Panel: How a React-Based Phishing Kit Is Hijacking Microsoft 365 Sessions via Device Code Attacks
Cisco Talos uncovered ARToken, a React-based phishing panel linked to EvilTokens that automates device code phishing to steal Microsoft 365 tokens, then uses Primary Refresh Token (PRT) persistence to maintain long-term access. The panel exposes over 80 API endpoints, enabling business email compromise, SharePoint data theft, and cloud lateral movement.
Portuguese Restaurant Kiosk Borked by Windows Code-Signing Check on WinRestKioskWPF.exe
A Portuguese restaurant's Windows kiosk froze with a security warning after WinRestKioskWPF.exe failed a code-signing check on July 1, 2026. The likely cause—an expired or untrusted certificate—spotlights the fragility of locked-down Windows devices when code-signing chains break, and underscores the need for vigilant certificate lifecycle management in point-of-sale deployments.
