I forgot about that: all the nice game binaries from them running directly on nearly all systems...
- lukan 1y agoHuh? Who is them in this case?
- ronsor 1y agoThey're referring to the fact that Chinese game companies (Tencent, Riot through Tencent, etc.) all have executables of varying levels of suspicion (i.e. anti-cheat modules) running in the background on player computers. Then they're making the claim that those binaries have botnet functionality.
- sylware 1y agoThey can exploit local priviledge escalation flaws without "RCE". And you are right, kernel anti-cheat are rumored to be weaponized by hackers, and making the previous even worse. And when the kid is playing his/her game at home, if daddy or mummy is a person of interest, they are already on the home LAN... Well, you get the picture: nowhere to run, orders of magnitude worse than it was before. Nowadays, the only level of protection the administrator/root access rights give you, is to mitigate any user mistake which would break his/her system... sad...
