Hot Take:

If Windows was a movie, the Desktop Window Manager would be that sidekick who keeps getting kidnapped. Enter CVE-2024-30051, the latest villain in this saga, helping baddies like QakBot slip past the guards and throw a malware party in SYSTEM privilege land. And they say sequels are never as good as the original!
