Microsoft Windows Alert—Angry Hacker Drops 2 New Zero-Day Exploits

A hacker known as Chaotic Eclipse publicly disclosed two Windows zero-day proof-of-concepts, including a BitLocker bypass and a CTFMON privilege-escalation flaw.

Security experts warned the exploits should be treated as active threats, with organizations using compensating controls while waiting for Microsoft fixes.

The issues hit core Windows security features and were reportedly already being used in the wild, raising the risk of credential theft and broader compromise.
