« Additionally, Microsoft has methods for scanning the contents of password-protected zip files, such as extracting possible passwords from the bodies of an email or the name of the file itself »
Isn’t that technically a cybercrime in most countries
@kc@social.coop the fines are just the price of doing business

@theodric “Microsoft has methods for scanning the contents of password-protected zip files, such as extracting possible passwords from the bodies of an email or the name of the file itself[.]” Cool and normal stuff, your storage provider telling you that they are essentially cracking your data.

@theodric
Does it suggest "password" or "ABC123"? -
@theodric This has to be an LLM response... even leaving alone this horrible security advice, the whole response is trying to do the exact opposite of what the OP asked!
@LeoRJorge @theodric Offering irrelevant / off topic advice is pretty normal for humans where complicated or obscure questions are in play (source: reading lots of StackOverflow and forum responses written before the advent of stochastic parrots). That said, I do agree this is likely slop since the point about the passwords would have to be hallucinated.

@EveHasWords @theodric Yeah, maybe I was giving too much merit to the Microsoft employee who posted the reply...

@kr3st3n@infosec.exchange @theodric@social.linux.pizza @phloggen@expressional.social a related one is to generate a bunch of very large benign archives to flood the scan queue before it picks up your payload, giving it time to execute before the system flags it.

@theodric In an unrelated statement, a Microsoft employee also recommended the use of generic locks that are easy to pick, lest you’ll never be locked out of your house again.

@theodric relatedly, if everybody uses the same password the odds of someone guessing a password goes way down, right? Like, if there are 50 people in an organization and they each have their own password, an attacker is 50 times more likely to guess a password. That's just basic math.

@swelljoe your logic is impeccable.
