This reads like an Onion joke.

So, Windows AND another malware?

I'm soooo removed from this issue it's almost funny

If you're still on facebook you deserve a free windows 11 upgrade to be honest.

Stop using Facebook, ffs

Windows? Facebook?

lol

The malicious domains will also try to accept only real PC users. If it detects an internet visit coming from a bot or an automated check from a security researcher, the domains will redirect the traffic to Google.com. “If you pass the checks, the site downloads a file named ms-update32.exe. At 75MB, it feels like a legitimate Windows installer,” Malwarebytes says.

They are getting more sophisticated. So it's a copy of licences and installer. Naturally, the only legitimate means to have that is windows update from the menù, but if you didn't know...

That’s a silly malware vector though, because everyone still stuck on windows prefers W10 to W11

The oldest trick in the book

That’s terrible bait, surprised if it’s working.

So.... the advertiser is Microsoft, and the malware is Windows 11 Pro. Ohh I'm so surprised

So it installs legitimate Windows 11 then?

[This could be a joke about Windows 11 being malware in the first place]

Or worse, with windows

Edit: 2/3 of the other comments at the time of writing are making basically the same joke. I love Lemmy

Perfect. Right in the center of the idiots' Venn diagram.

Fuck Windows to hell.

My Mac and I would like to see it try. Malware? It's a Mac. (Mac malware exists, but this is probably/likely made for Windows.) Actual Windows? Not in this ~~Christian server~~ M2 Pro.
