Wait a second. According to the article, the only weird thing the driver does is sending some CPU info telemetry and automatically checking for updates. By that standard, nearly every piece of gaming software that releases nowadays is malware. "Ningbo Zhuo Zhi Innovation Network Technology" is also not on the current DOD list of Communist Chinese military companies. The whois record for the given ip doesn't even link to this company, it's a protected record under some Chinese telecorp. Who wrote this garbage? This seems like a cheap attempt to generate outrage.

- sigmoid10 5y agoI'm not talking about games. I was referring to the typical gaming software in form of GPU or input hardware drivers. Nvidia for example bundles a shitton of telemetry services with their drivers, as does logitech with their keyboard drivers.
