Microsoft released its latest version of Windows in the name #Windows 10 and there has been many news that Windows is spying its users. Recently there has been a news that again states that Windows 10 is still spying.
A security researcher run this test and he found that in a 8 hours of period Windows 10 attempted to connect to 51 different IPs of Microsoft about 5500 times.
Attempting to make a connection for this many times is not an usual task and then the guy implemented the #Windows 10 Enterprise edition and also tested the same.
It made 2758 connections in a period of 30 hours and the reason Windows 10 Enterprise is that it has more access to change the settings.
All the above experiments were made after disabling the Telemetry features in the Windows 10 and this disables the tracking feature of the Windows.
Even after disabling them Windows 10 is making these many attempts and it is not clear that what data has been sent to the server. According to the source it says that it is checking for the updates, any time adjustment etc.
Microsoft also stated that they are collecting some data not personal to provide its users ease of use. They also stated that the data sent to the servers are all encrypted and cannot be viewed by any attacker.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
