  • Security vulnerability in Toshiba Service Station

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jan 15 19:15:42 2016
    I got a notification that Toshiba Service Station needs an update to patch a vulnerability. Of course, this notification came from the very Service Station that has the vulnerability. So......can anyone please confirm that this is a legitimate patch
    rather than the vulnerability being exploited? I've inserted a screen capture at http://oi63.tinypic.com/16jwpj.jpg. Thanks.

    Thanks.

    I let this install on Friday. No apparent problems but of course if it is a trojan I won't know until it is too late. You might feel safer getting it
    from here

    but then again I may be giving you a link to a spoofed Toshiba web site.
