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”?

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

    The install size is just 8KB. Could it just be a link to open Edge?

      The icon itself is probably more than 8kb. It’s either incorrect or literally just a desktop URL shortcut

      I don’t even see a link. Though I guess I should look inside Microsoft Edge.

      Edit: I cannot find anyway to get to it in either the desktop or Edge. I do not have a signed in Microsoft account on this machine, so that may be why I don’t see it. I’m not willing to sign in to see.

      Who exactly is the target audience for this? Home users running Windows server? This would get flagged for sure in an enterprise environment and no self respecting admin would ever install something like that.

    As a student and programmer, I just installed debian few years ago and never thought about why I did that and why I haven’t returned to windows. For advance and light users linux is amazing with all these web based applications.

      Microsoft has a whole suite of exfiltration tools such as telemetry and searchapp. Check out what searchapp does next time you search for anything. Those searches are going to microsoft online services, what about thr index?. So youve reached the tip of the of the spyware operating system.

        running copilot on a 95 or 98 server would make even less sense
