The You are Now in France attack, still with us after all these years

[Peter Gutmann]

I was browsing through the Windows download centre for reasons not relevant
here and came across KB955417, dated 22 August 2008:

  Install this update to resolve an issue in which protected storage (PStore)
  uses a lower quality cryptographic function when the system locale is set to
  French (France).

Peter.
