Regardless of whether the device has been locked, a recent vulnerability in Windows 10 has given hijackers an easy route to taking over - simply by using the digital assistant, Cortana, to execute commands. Security software giant McAfee provided an in-depth analysis of the new vulnerability, which states that the "Hey, Cortana!" voice command (a default feature enabled in Windows 10) could be triggered even when the device was in a locked state, giving potential attackers a route to being able to see files, information and potentially allow arbitrary code execution.Due to the vulnerability, it is possible to launch a Windows contextual menu by typing when Cortana starts to listen to a query on a device that is locked.
