@alternativeto "There is a need for increased awareness of and research into OS-based #downgrade attacks. During this process, I found no mitigations preventing the downgrade of critical OS components in #Microsoft #Windows. We believe other OSs may be equally susceptible to similar attack vectors and that all OS vendors must be vigilant against the dangers they pose."
