When he got online during the week operating system from North Korea, I joked that the system is spying on you and that way Kim Jong-un knows if you're kidding him or not. But even in the west, some companies don't take privacy very seriously, and if I had to pick two systems you can trust right now, it would probably be Linux and OS X. And why don't I mention Windows 10? You probably already know why. It can more or less be said that history repeats itself and, just like in the past, it is also now being shown that the system, which you can download completely free of charge, knows everything about you. In fact, you can say that Windows are now windows to your privacy.

However, it is more of a by-product of the system being future-ready and building on cloudE. It means that very many processes and functions actually require remote servers and connect to databases for their functionality Microsoftat. Even part of the system core is located in cloudE. However, data is also being sent at the same time as the team. First of all, there is a keylogger and the system sends entered texts to the servers every half hour oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.netpre.footprintpredict.comreports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I was quite interested in the NSATC domain for the first server. Maybe a connection with such a popular agency? The transmission is encrypted and, as the company says, all data is anonymous, so Microsoft would not have known that Charlie S., the user Windows 10, just ordered a kilo of cocaine. Or yes? One of the servers collects information about network location, IP and geographic location.

However, Footprint Predict is more necessary for the intelligent Bing search engine. The system sends Microsoftu information about what text you enter and then adapts the recommendations accordingly. This means that if you and your friends are talking about a possible holiday in Croatia, Bing will randomly start supplying you with information about hotels and the best travel deals.

Even Cortana knows about you. It eavesdrops on everything you say into the microphone and doesn't really care that you started using an encrypted phone tool out of fear of the NSA. And when I mention calling, after entering a phone number, these numbers also start to be sent to a total of 8 servers, three of which again end with NSATC.net. Also, eavesdropping works here EVEN after you turn Cortana off, which makes it seem like Microsoft he will have some explaining to do to people. In this way, Cortana sends approximately 15MB of data once every 80 minutes.

It's just as comical when you decide to look for familiar American movies. The system will automatically start looking for these movies directly on your disk, start indexing them and finally send this data anonymously to remote servers, but only if the computer is inactive for about 30 minutes. So Microsoft thanks to this, it will know that your favorite actress is Sasha Grey, and based on this, it can give you targeted advertising for….let's say movies with her. At the same time Microsoft knows you have movies honestly downloaded from PirateBay. But the advantage is that it does not work with Czech films. There is also a solution to fool MS and that is to rename the movies. It also has its positive side - Microsoft will make it easier to become a US citizen. It turned out that if you got a green card or had the opportunity to get citizenship after a big puddle, the government could have access to your photo. Windows 10 sends 35 MB of data to remote servers when the webcam is turned on for the first time. The process is one time.

Do you want to disable these services? If you are a professional, then you start editing the hosts file and reconfigure the service so that Windows 10 was not allowed to communicate with the mothership. Which is a pretty stupid solution, because when you do it, the system stops working properly and turns into modern Vista. You can still try using the Destroy tool Windows 10 Spying that you can download in this link, but it is not certain whether this is a long-term solution, since the system regularly works with the hosts file and can modify it according to its needs.
