The new update will fix a bug in the Windows 11 Snipping Tool and the Windows 10 Snip & Sketch tool that inavertenly kept data from screenshots that users thought had been cropped out.
Microsoft issued an emergency security update late on Friday that fixes the flaws in the Windows 11 Snipping Tool and the Windows 10 Snip & Sketch tool that were discovered earlier this week. The flaws, which were similar to ones found in Google’s Pixel snipping tools, have been labeled as the « Acropalypse. »
Both tools had issues that would have allowed hackers to possibly bring back data that users had previously cropped out of an image.
