Do we have a new assailant? This sounds worse than the printnightmare scenario which I don't believe has been fixed yet... any thoughts?
 
Solution
No, that is the latest print spooler CVE disclosed after August patching with no fix presently. The work around is still the same. Stop and disable the print spooler service.

New malware is created almost everyday from existing threat actors, individuals and state sponsored groups.

Supposedly a new patch for "PrintNightmare" is being released for August patches tomorrow. Hopefully that will take care of it for good.

CVE-2021-36958 -- Is this the fix? The talk on the windows update page is rather confusing so just double checking.

This link was sent to me by another help site - Tech Support Guy- I think it might be the one that precedes the last hack. True?

That link is from July. This is the latest CVE which still remains unpatched even after the August patch release.
