April Fools' Day 2019 (Microsoft Buys Appguard and Voodooshield)

[shmu26]

"Vowing to make up for security lapses of the past, Microsoft has announced its purchase of the well-known security giants AppGuard and VoodooShield, the core technologies of which will be incorporated in the next iteration of Windows 10, scheduled for release in the fall of 2019. The purchase price was not publicized, but was estimated at 3.5 billion Euros.

Additionally, Microsoft announced that Hard_Configurator and SRP will be made part of Windows source code, to secure the fledging Windows Linux sub-system, and will thus no longer be open-source. 'This will have legal implications,' Microsoft legal counsel warned."

The uncensored version of the article appeared on the dark web, including the following excerpt:
"Jeff Torrowsky, key developer of Appguard, commented: "This is a positive development but I hope it is just the first step in eradicating mankind's greatest scourge, which is Powershell. Unfortunately, 99.9999% of Microsoft users will not appreciate the significance of this. But it must be done."

"Dan Boulder, mastermind of VoodooShield, commented: "As I was saying all along, your computer should be locked when it is at risk. Now we are closer to that dream coming true. Thank you!"

LMAO my heart stopped for a moment. Partially because I couldn't believe VS was bought. And second because I realised how good SRP and anti-exe would do to Windows Defender and I was quite happy.

Anyways, I am sad now
