Title: The most successful malware is hidden inside of legitimate software.
Post by: GrDukeMalden on January 17, 2021, 07:00:12 AM

First Verisign got hacked several years ago.

Then the makers of CCleaner got hacked and were unknowingly distributing malware.

And most recently there was sunburst, which was when solarwinds got hacked.

My request to the mods here is to tell the devs. Start programming APEX to look for malicious code inside of legitimate software.

Download malware bytes and run it and stop whatever you were doing that got the virus
