    @theodric
    Does it suggest "password" or "ABC123"?

    @hugh @theodric It's worse, if you were to follow the advice above it in the article, you would either include the password in the text of the email or use the filename as the password

        @IceWolf @theodric make sure to be as unsafe as possible so windows doesn't need to put in any work on... services that worked just fine before?

          @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 I am concerned that Defender is trying to decrypt files at all...

                @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.
