This demonstrates a thing that I’m sure serious security pros (and their adversaries) have long known: These Windows security products are a highly attractive attack surface for serious professional Bad Guys. They run in God mode and are typically purchased by IT-management types via the “enterprise software sales” process. (Think: golf.)
I wonder how many of them are already deeply compromised? I am certain that the number is not zero.
