Attached: 1 image So, Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 systems and this is a disaster. How can you push a tool that siphons data to a third party onto a security-critical system? What privileges does it have upon install? Who thought this is a good idea? And most importantly, who needs this? #infosec #security #openai #microsoft #windowsserver #copilot

    Is “copilot” the new slang for “back door”?

      Man… Anybody remember “Back Orifice”? The late nineties were weird.

        Ironically I used to use BO for actual system work…. And one time to prank the hell out of my worker by playing sounds remotely.

      More like open windows that were painted to make shutting them almost impossible.
