Twisting Microsoft's Failure (Transmitting Malware) as "SSH Backdoors" and a Linux Problem
As we covered here many times before (as videos and articles), nothing pleases Microsoft more than spreading FUD about Linux and SSH (recent examples [1, 2]). While Microsoft gives back doors to intelligence agencies it fancies talking about "Linux backdoors" (misnomer) and insinuates that because one can download malware and execute it (npm is Microsoft) we should not blame the company hosting and transmitting it (Microsoft) but the people who get it from Microsoft. This typical example was published hours ago:
It's not too hard to see what's wrong with this narrative.
Hours earlier a slopfarm (LLM slop) spewed out the following with a slop image and LLM slop:
They constantly do this to give "Linux" a bad name (then the defunct Google News gives them a free ride). Sometimes it's Microsoft staff doing it, as happened a year ago when Microsoft GitHub was leveraged for social engineering attacks against Xz. Somehow we almost always find that those FUD pieces about "Linux" are based on obvious falsehoods. Who stands to benefit? Someone in Redmond. Fear-mongering/dramatisation is "fair play" to them. █
