April 2023: Techrights Expresses Concern That Microsoft Weaponises Chatbots to Craft Linux-Hostile Cruft Without Any Accountability

May 2024: Brittany Day (linuxsecurity.com) Now Leverages Microsoft Chatbots to Promote Microsoft Propaganda Disguised as "Linux"

June 2024: LinuxSecurity.com Back to Relaying Anti-Linux FUD From Microsoft, Using Microsoft Chatbots That Recycle and Add Permutations to the FUD

Also June 2024: Microsoft-Invaded CISA Spreads Anti-Free Software FUD (as If Proprietary Software Has No Memory Safety Issues), Brittany Day Uses Chatbots to Amplify and Permutate the Microsoft FUD

They now - even this week - use CHATBOTS to 'write' (spew out) Microsoft FUD... not for the first time (and their site broke down earlier, so they don't really know what they're doing).

They instruct the bot to make some anti-Linux garbage text:

[ransomware is a Microsoft/Windows issue, very seldom Linux] The Rise of Eldorado: Addressing the New Wave of Ransomware-as-a-Service Threats Targeting Linux Systems

As usual, fake 'article' (slop), prompted to make anti-Linux FUD in this case:

⁤Cybersecurity has always been dynamic, and threats are evolving rapidly. ⁤⁤One of the latest entrants into this dangerous arena is Eldorado, a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) that targets Windows and Linux systems. ⁤⁤As revealed by Group-IB's recent discovery, this new ransomware has been making waves since it was first discovered in March 2024.⁤

They need to be named and shamed for doing this. Or they won't stop. Microsoft must be laughing all the way to the bank.
