Title: Devices that run legacy Windows versions and support SHA-1 will be blocked from updating in 2019
Post by: Redaktion on November 23, 2018, 16:49:55
Microsoft has announced that only Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2) code-signing will be used to update legacy versions of Windows (namely Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows 7 SP1). Machines that only support SHA-1 will be considered too vulnerable, and will be prevented from updating by next April.
