The Full Story
CISA has kindly informed us that Microsoft Defender is currently busy helping the wrong people bypass Windows security controls. This latest blunder impacts any poor soul relying on federal-grade protection, which apparently now includes an open invitation for malicious actors to wander about the OS. To survive this particular Tuesday, agencies must scramble to hit a strict remediation deadline before the exploit becomes more popular than a free bar at a tech conference. We continue our tireless tradition of patching the very tools meant to save us from the hobby of patching.
