Default Microsoft loses security Edge

Microsoft’s Edge browser comes with a feature which could be used by technical support scammers.

The Edge browser’s ability to warn users of dodgy sites, or other security alerts can be abused to display native and legitimate-looking warning messages. This is a gift for tech support scammers who could use it to get the great unwashed to call them thinking they have been hacked.

The flaws exist in Voles ms-appx and ms-appx-web protocols which the browser uses to present warning messages when phishing or malware delivery sites are located.
