Attached: 1 image So, Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 systems and this is a disaster. How can you push a tool that siphons data to a third party onto a security-critical system? What privileges does it have upon install? Who thought this is a good idea? And most importantly, who needs this? #infosec #security #openai #microsoft #windowsserver #copilot

    If you have to use Windows Server (or other Windows), install the hellzerg Optimizer

      Unfortunately these services also open up security issues

      Who exactly is the target audience for this? Home users running Windows server? This would get flagged for sure in an enterprise environment and no self respecting admin would ever install something like that.

      When the switch to run it on a server is “/unsafe” I think I’ll pass 🤣

        Anyway on Windows the Optimizer is an must have app. It is the best to cut M$'s bad habits

          Yeeeeah, no enterprise admin would run that… GPOs would do the same with more transparency and no privacy concerns (besides running Windows of course)
