[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 825418"] A quick hotfix, this fast, might simply be they remove the bias towards that particular game, or a string related to several games. However, that article is more damning when you pick out a few specific quotes, such as: Which basically means, at some phase in the project, someone - marketing, sales, C level got tired of hearing complains about false positives, and rather than continue to work on the engine they put in a final override check which overrides all other malicious indicates and flags the file as benevolent, thereby reducing their entire product to a small area in the code with ultimate override power? That's a pretty significant flaw, and indicates at some point they got lazy with their product. Also that area of code could potentially make the entire AI/ML model easy to defeat once the override check parameters are discovered. [B][I][U]Cylance executives already cashed out, they don't care[/U][/I][/B]. Even their EULA prohibiting testing on the product isn't going to protect it. However I would like to point out a coincidence that always seems to happen.. A product/company is close to selling, or gets sold and something pwns it or some grand exploit, compromise or whatever comes out. I almost have a sort of instinctive action to 'bail' anytime something is acquired by something else. I suppose these C level folks reach a 'Time to gooooooo!' point that is often precipitated by the knowledge that their days (or product days) are numbered.. Who knows.. But the quickest way for me to ditch a product is to have it acquired. :) [/QUOTE]
