""No, it's not a feature. That's an easy way to cop out of responsibility. It's almost as bad as when firms say 'working as designed.' The point here, as with similar shortcomings, is convenience, speed, and avoiding investing more effort into something that they feel isn't worth mitigating.""
""The old argument is that if malware gains persistence then it doesn't make a difference, you're in trouble anyway. It's waving the white flag at cybercriminals and turning that white flag into a blank check for info stealers.""
David Shipley, CEO of Beauceron Security, criticizes Microsoft's response to security vulnerabilities, stating it reflects a lack of responsibility. He argues that dismissing the issue as a feature is unacceptable and highlights a trend of prioritizing convenience over security. Shipley warns that the existing bug serves as an invitation for cyber criminals, equating the situation to surrendering to threats and enabling information theft.
