tinfoil hat What if Microsoft is secretly funding people to find these exploits?

[-] Madrigal@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Nah they’d probably just put Copilot on the job.

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

That's giving Copilot way too much credit.

[-] Madrigal@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I didn’t say it would succeed.

It's just crazy that both these exploits have a public PoC without them being patched yet. Sure you can disable certain parts of your system manually to temporarily patch them, but that's both manual and liable to break stuff.

Unless you're using IPSec, disabling these modules won't break anything.
