Come on, it’s clear that kazinator is deliberately trolling by pretending to be stupid. Nothing wrong with calling them out on that.

ok? It’s not like someone tried to mislead you about the source of that figure, it was clearly stated. Why are you pretending to be stupid? You could just jump straight to criticizing the dataset instead of pretending to not know how they c

Are you ok? If you click the link, you will find out exactly how the dataset was gathered. I have a hard time believing that a person capable of navigating to HN and producing somewhat coherent sentences is too stupid to figure this out.

So… nothing? At least a physically tampered-with ATM could capture the magnetic stripe on my card. But what could a hacked ATM do with my not-American card which I insert in the chip slot?

Even if the kiosk loads the payment terminal firmware, that firmware will be signed. It’s 2022, pretty much all developed nations use chip cards so you wouldn’t have anything to gain from this exercise anyway.

That’s what I would’ve taken it to mean, but I’m rather confused with regards to where you might actually run into that?

Serverside anticheats can at least ensure that cheaters won’t be able to perform vastly better than real humans at the highest levels.

What definition of “rootkit” are you using here? I’d consider myself fairly well-versed with rootkits, but don’t understand how game anticheats could reasonably be described as such.

People are willing to pay up to $2k for regular software-based hacks.

Yes, there are tons of these bugs and tons of PoCs. However, in real life, nobody bothers to exploit them because there’s very little to gain by doing so.

Good cheats are expensive (like, often more than $100 per month ) Cheat makers have way higher per-user revenues than Riot.

Literally nobody does that. That riots anticheat driver might interfere with your incredibly niche use case is fundamentally not a very compelling argument. Besides, Windows LPEs are a dime a dozen anyway.

Admin privileges don’t matter, all the stuff you care about lives in your homedir. Have you ever seen a real world example of super common and super insecure AV drivers being exploited for LPE? Probably not, it’s not worth the trouble.

In both of those cases someone has already hacked your machine and can run arbitrary binaries. They’ve already stolen all of your credentials from browser databases, all of your secret files from your homedir and so on. Besides, Windows LPE
