@EdwinG oersonally, I think #CrowdStrike - like all #Scareware - shouldn't exist.

The fact that such a big mistake made it out of #QA testing is a clear disqualifier.

@jsrailton #Govware like #Pegasus isn't something that can be fixed outside of extensive #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec workups.

In fact it's easier to bootstrap an entirely new identity than trying to uninstall such persistent shite!

That being said, #VPN providers are just the newest #DigitalSnakeoil sales reps and everything against them applies to #Antivirus as well...

So sad that @tomscott was just naively debunking them years ago...

The constant #disinfo sown by VPN and #AV providers is so rampant that I'd not be surprised if one day both would finally be made illegal for all the right reasons:

@isotopp not to mention the whole concept of paying a 3rd party that (outside of #FLOSS-based OSes like #Linux and #BSD's!) won't habe Sourcecode access and accept their #BinaryBlob #Kernelhack is not only weird per concept but basically a digital #RacketeeringScheme!

In fact, it should be the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY of the #maontainers to actually make their #OS secure - period!

Everything else is just #bait for the #Scareware-based sales pitch that fools #TechIlliterates into becoming victims of said racketeering scheme...

@kubikpixel Und genau das kotzt mich so sehr an dass ich kein #Windows auch nur anfasse...

Dritthersteller #Antivirus ist bestenfalls #Scareware bzw. #DigitalSnakeoil wenn nicht sogar #Malware weil's nen #BinaryBlob - #KernelHack in Windows ist...

Fundamentale Sicherheit muss ab Werk rein und vorallem müssen #User*innen die 99,9% aller Probleme verursachen geschult werden...

@DaemonFC
Espechally since 3rd Party AV on #Windows is always a malware-like #KernelHack and worsens #ITsec.

If one doesn't trust #WindowsDefender they should not use Windows at all - period!
