@cyberseckyle Microsoft is going through the first stage of their "we treat security seriously," cycle, wherein they try to frame their shitty design decisions as "actually brilliant," like they're trying to emulate the Steve Jobs Reality Distortion Field or something. It's cute, and terrifying.

@FuturisticRobert Yeah, as an MSP, can’t trust Chrome or Edge to be a browser choice for our clients. LOL

@cyberseckyle yup. I'm spreading that message around now at work. It's scary simple to dump process memory in your own user space. That's it. That's all an exploit needs to do.
