On April 7 this year, it announced that it would stop all security updates for Windows XP. Microsoft. Redmond made the decision to encourage users to upgrade to newer versions of Windows. But in the end, Microsoft has extended the support for this security update of Windows XP by another 15 months.As per the new update schedule Until July 14, 2015, they will release security updates for Windows XP. That means Microsoft’s official antivirus, antimalware and signature updates for Windows XP will be available until mid-July next year.
According to expertsAt present, 95 percent of ATM booths worldwide use computers running Windows XP. The hardware of these PCs is also quite old which makes it difficult to give new windows without upgrading them. Once Windows XP support is turned off, no more security updates will be given to these PCs used to operate ATM machines. As a result, they will become easy targets for hackers to attack.
According to Arvind Korala, CEO of ATM software provider ‘Kal’, as of April 2014, Windows 7 could be used (or usable) in a maximum of 15% of ATM booths in the United States. The rest will remain in that old period. So this is undoubtedly indicating a big problem.
Mr Corala said the ATM world was not yet ready for the release of Windows XP, and that was not unusual. ATM machines run slower than PCs.
Windows XP was first released 13 years ago. Microsoft launched OST on October 25, 2001. Redmond then launched Windows Vista in 2007, Windows 7 in 2009, Windows 7 in 2012 and Windows 8.1 in 2013. Windows 9 will be launched next year It is known that.
