I assume this is MS apps, browser, etc.

If so it is even more reason to use Mozilla programs.


Is there any way to prevent MS from taking the information of your LAN
links. When I got my tablet with Windows 8.1, I was shocked that MS had
the pass codes to access all the LAN I had visited. What Privacy!

If MS has these passcode( security) codes, then the best place for
hackers to concentrate are on these database on the MS servers. Once
they have hacked MS, they have access to every LAN in the world.

Can you explain in a little more detail what you mean by access to every LAN
in the world? What kind of access? What are you calling a LAN link?

LAN Link Wireless connection between a Wireless Router and a computer.

If you access a LAN with the SSID of X, and enter the passcode of
1233455667 to establish the connection with that LAN; Microsoft collects
this information and saves it on their server.

So for everybody that use MS Windows 8.1 (possible 7 and more in likely
10), all of the SSID's with passcodes for every LAN's they have ever
accessed are on MS servers. ie Every LAN in the world for those using
Windows, can be obtained by hacking MS.

OR in other words the biggest hole in you LAN security is the MS
servers, regardless of the number of bytes in your passcode.
