   This story is an important development in piracy, but it also portends an increase in malware infections from more people seeking pirated content from any available source. There has always been and will always be a strong connection between pirated software, music, movies, etc. and malware droppers that turn systems into proxies or worse. And pirated products remain a major source of malware infections.

     @dangoodin @briankrebs I'm still here, but not as often. I just find I get a lot more scolding here (especially from people who are very sure, but very wrong, about stuff), and the conversations on bsky are just simply better.

     @mmasnick @dangoodin @briankrebs i tried there. i really did. but there are people who i have gone to some lengths to avoid and bsky does that shitty thing twitter does where it will show you replies from someone you follow, responding to someone you have blocked, and showing you that the previous post in the thread isnt visible to you.

     its an incredibly stupid design decision and it makes me crazy, so closed the tab for a couple weeks

     @mmasnick @dangoodin @briankrebs I, for one, would just be happy if you posted here and then ignored all the responses.
