SANS ☛ Fake GitHub Site Targeting Developers
This will download "l6E.exe" and save it as "SysSetup.exe". Luckily, l6E.exe has pretty good anti-virus coverage. On my test system, Microsoft Defender immediately recognized it [1] . It is identified as "Lumma Stealer", an information stealer. The domain is recognized by some anti-malware, but sadly not yet on Google's safe browsing blocklist.

[Repeat] Dedoimedo ☛ Sad, sad state of Windows 11 - September 2024 problems
Every few months, I power on my test machine, emphasis test machine, and start the Windows 11 instance installed there, and check what has changed in the operating system, often for the worse. I do this for several reasons: 1) masochism 2) get new material for my blog 3) see what Microsoft is planning for the average user, and update my doomsday prepper toolbox. I did that a few days ago, and boy was I angry.
You may think I'm exaggerating of course, for populistic reasons. Nope. I tried to update the system, the update failed. I encountered a whole bunch of fresh ergonomic travesties. I encountered new inconsistencies in the Windows UI, and then some. Follow me.
