Attached: 1 image So, Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 systems and this is a disaster. How can you push a tool that siphons data to a third party onto a security-critical system? What privileges does it have upon install? Who thought this is a good idea? And most importantly, who needs this? #infosec #security #openai #microsoft #windowsserver #copilot

Is “copilot” the new slang for “back door”?

Makes MS seem desperate. Fordicing it down everyones throat and displaying ads in the OS…

At 8kb it’s certainly not an AI model.

More like open windows that were painted to make shutting them almost impossible.

Man… Anybody remember “Back Orifice”? The late nineties were weird.

Ironically I used to use BO for actual system work…. And one time to prank the hell out of my worker by playing sounds remotely.

Man they take me back! Used netbus a bunch in friends

I doubt they need to install something new for a back door
