About 30 critical RCEs since oct 24, botnet operators adore you

More than them, they should adore companies whose updates come with unwanted features and fresh new bugs that lead to this behavior. I have never been afraid of Debian stable / Fedora updates but I am always weary of Windows and Android updates.
Tell that to my windows 7 unpatched for about 20 years now. Those botnets are collecting devices with default passwords.
Na, someone probably already p0wn3d your box and is installing updates in the background so they don't lose control of it.
That's not "your" windows 7 but a community computer used to host cp
Never got a virus. But everyone installing updates got malware after malware. Don't let the faangs scare you into giving your freedoms away.
