Attackers are using the normally harmless Windows Finger command to download and install a malicious backdoor on victims' devices. Bad things can happen when you give someone the finger
When did they add this tool?

From the comments:
Quote: The finger program has an old history of security issues in Unix/Linux since 1988.
Dated 2013, 2105 "The finger command has been considered obsolete and a security issue for way over a decade now, thus all of the modern Linux distributions and Unix flavors don’t install the service nor the client by default anymore, some don’t even include them in their repositories at all."
So the question is why is finger still in Windows?
I suppose because they are so busy designing new icons that have no time to care about security or common sense...

A team of researchers at Stanford University has developed an AI algorithm that proved to be slightly over 70% accurate at guessing a person's political affiliation after studying a single photograph. The red hat probably helps

"Do I look stupid to you?"

That reminds me of something I saw years ago. It was something along the lines of one guy tells another, "you look stupid."
He replies, "I want a second opinion."
"OK, you're ugly too."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

The researchers acknowledge that it would be difficult for others to replicate their results accurately because they cannot share the photographic data they used for privacy reasons.
Translation: on a restricted sample we manage to pimp the AI to the point we got 70% accuracy one time and you can't prove it didn't happen, now give us grant money.

My AI says this is >90% accurate.

Given that in the US (at the moment) you could get 50% accuracy by flipping a coin, that's not very impressive.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

That's very astute. It's true that the nation has never been so divided since the US Civil War.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

When your test subjects are from around Stanford, this is pretty bad accuracy.

I run a natural AI application that makes 50% accurate guesses in 'Head or tails' when I flip a coin.

Try this in the Netherlands, where we currently have 89 political parties
Ok, it's not quite that bad, 89 parties are registered, but of those "only" 13 can be elected in the upcoming national elections.
We have many other parties for local governance.

What do you expect from Americans? The only thing most of them know is Red and Blue, liberal and conservative, Republicrat and Demopublican.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes, the USA's government deals in absolutes, ergo, the USA is ruled by Sith (that actually explains a lot).

If you're one of the lucky 10.8 million who have received the COVID-19 vaccine (that's roughly one in every 30 Americans), then all you have to show for it right now is a piece of paper, but that may soon change. They're really beefing up the antivirus in Windows Defender!

Microsoft is involved, so it will be pretty.
Oracle is involved, so it will require a full time operator.
Salesforce is involved, so it will become massively bloated (which is impressive since Microsoft and Oracle are involved.)

An unpatched zero-day in Microsoft Windows 10 allows attackers to corrupt an NTFS-formatted hard drive with a one-line command. I don't want to live in a world where we can't trust the icons

Was it really necessary to show the command and speak about how to deliver it in ways that it doesn't need user interaction to crash your pc?
Sorry, I think that is a bit irresponsible.
