Microsoft recently reminded Windows 10 users who support the operating system on October 14, 2025.
Microsoft 10 was launched in July 2015, and the company was forced to provide 10 years of support. Windows 10 is the most popular Windows system, representing 54 % of its share in the market or more than 800 million dollars, according to Stateman. In 2024, Microsoft Windows ran 1.6 billion active devices.
For users who want to follow the use of Windows 10 to post -support date, Microsoft offers a single -year security update program (ESU) at $ 30. However, without ESU or upgrade to Windows 11, users will face increasing security risks.

Technology giant, which celebrated 50Y This month’s birthday has not provided much information about the ESU program for ordinary users as is the case with business customers. This may be a strategic step to encourage users to upgrade to Windows 11 instead of choosing ESU, he writes The latest Windows.
The end of support is particularly important, given a new threat to emerging cybersecurity, which may pose a great danger to Microsoft customers.

A very serious threat to millions of Microsoft Windows
An updated version of harmful programs known as Nevtune Rat (Access Access Trojan) provides a “very serious threat” to millions of Windows users.
Cyfirama, a cyberspace security company in Singapore, recently issued a warning about harmful programs, which have spread through platforms like GitHub, Telegram and YouTube. Hinosal programs are often marketed as “the most advanced mice”, according to Cyfirama.
Cyfrienda Neptune Rat describes as a “very developed and dangerous” part of harmful programs that are able to bypass traditional security measures, steal passwords, and even destroy Windows operating systems. The mouse can give up more than 270 applications, including browsers, and features both ransom capabilities and monitoring direct desktop.

It is designed to disable and steal sensitive data, and NepTune mice apply high -level analysis techniques to maintain the presence of the victim system for a long period of time.
Once created, it can fully control the device, extract sensitive information and receive more instructions from its treatment.
The worst part: The developer suggests that there is a more powerful version of these malware.
“Ethical purposes”, however targeting Chrome, Opera and Brave & More
Neptune Rat, who allowed him without the source code, claims to be dedicated to “educational and moral purposes”, although the abilities of harmful programs make it difficult to believe this interpretation.
The developer, who is currently residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, states that this is a free version, which means that there is a more advanced paid version.
The sensitive information that Neptune RAT can collect username, computer details, operating system data and devices specifications (such as the CPU, RAM, Serial Serial Corporation), network data and even information about connected USB devices.
Written in Visual Basic. Its symbol is full of Arabic letters and the general emojis to make reverse engineering more difficult.
In addition, Neptune Rat can extract passwords and decompose them from browsers such as Chrome, Opera, Chromium, 360chrome, Brave, Yandex and others. Then these credentials are transferred to the attacker’s server.
To reduce the risk of an attack, Cyfirama recommends many work paths.
- Implementation of the threat to detect settlement indicators.
- Use the advanced ending point protection platforms with actual time monitoring.
- Spreading the host’s infiltration systems.
- Employment of strong safety filters for e -mail and wiping normal weakness.
- Programs should only be downloaded from reliable sources.
The lowest share price in more than 15 months
In 2024, Microsoft recorded revenues of 245.1 billion dollars, an increase of 15.67 % on an annual basis. Net income grew by 22 % to 88.1 billion dollars, with profits per share to $ 11.8. A year to date, Microsoft shares decreased by 15.88 %, and is traded at $ 354.56.
On April 7th, before Nepira Rat, the Microsoft share fell to $ 350.09 per share in the morning session, which represents its lowest point in more than a year. While the session was closed with $ 357.86 and showed some recovery on Tuesday morning, it is still less than its lowest level in more than 15 months.
Even a milestone like the fifty anniversary of the world’s largest technology companies has not been able to protect its shares from the market’s reaction to the threat of emerging cybersecurity and the continuous impact of Trump’s definitions.
