Whack-a-Malware: Microsoft’s Unending Battle Against Cyber Nogoodniks
In the gut-busting saga of cybercrime, Microsoft is playing whack-a-mole with crooks using the MSIX Protocol Handler for malware distribution. It’s a slapstick routine, with Microsoft disabling the protocol, only for cyber rogues to pop up selling malware kits exploiting the same loophole. It’s like a burglar selling blueprints after the heist!
Hot Take:
Microsoft is playing a never-ending game of whack-a-mole with cybercriminals. Just when you thought your Windows was safe, the tech giant is disabling the ms-appinstaller protocol handler again. Why? Because some naughty cyber nogoodniks are using it to spread malware like a bad cold in winter. And if that's not enough, they're selling a malware kit that leverages this very loophole. It's like breaking into a bank and then selling the blueprints!Already a member? Log in here
