Guardian Digital, Inc (linuxsecurity.com) Uses Microsoft-Controlled Front Groups and LLM Slop in Order to Spread Microsoft-Directed Anti-Linux FUD

Sometimes the words salad from linuxsecurity.com is particularly malicious. It's not composed by a human and it's basically anti-Linux, bearing words like "Linux" in headlines. Sometimes they do this to SSH/OpenSSH too.

Here's a new example (the sole 'article' from that day):

OpenJS Warn of Social Engineering Threats to Open-Source Projects

Of course it's fake, as usual.

As the backbone of much of the world's technological infrastructure

Even take a more extended selection:

Microsoft FUD

Notice what the words salad latches onto. It mentions Xz (Microsoft FUD which started days before massive rebuke by the US government against Microsoft). We covered that a lot at the time.

OpenJS is run by a Microsoft employee with no technical background (Edelman) and OpenSSF includes the same people and interests, including proprietary GitHub (Microsoft).

They don't use OSS. They don't speak for it. They are a wolf in the kennel.

So Guardian Digital staff is spewing out anti-Linux talking points, sometimes from the Microsoft employee above.

Worse yet, those Guardian Digital employees don't write anything meaningful, they use chatbots.

Corrosive element inside the Linux Foundation are "cited" by a bot.

In short, what we have here is Microsoft garbage likely produced by Microsoft LLMs, spewing out Microsoft FUD.

Shame on Guardian Digital.
