Leak of Windows 10 Source Code Raises Security Concerns

[Swordsmyth]

First reported by The Register and confirmed by Microsoft on Friday night, the leak contains source code “to the base Windows 10 hardware drivers plus Redmond’s PnP code, its USB and Wi-Fi stacks, its storage drivers, and ARM-specific OneCore kernel code.” With that information, a hacker can hunt for vulnerabilities within some of the most trusted levels of the operating system. The code also reportedly contains the private debugging symbols that are normally stripped from public releases. These symbols give programmers extra information about which functions and data a piece of code is calling.

I download the Source Code every-time I update my Kernel.

And that is probably due.

I believe that Source Codes are available for the most secure systems known.

maybe this will help windoze.

Leak of Windows 10 Source Code Raises Security Concerns

LMAO @ the idea that trying to keep flaws in the source code secret - by keeping the source code itself secret - somehow works to preserve or enhance "security" ...

Emphasis on "known".
