    The Inquirer[^]:

    Microsoft PowerShell is becoming a haven for malicious code, with a 95.4 per cent rise in malware instances, according to Symantec.

    If you lock them out of using BAT files, what do you expect them to do?

      The Inquirer:

      MICROSOFT POWERSHELL is becoming a haven for malicious code, with a 95.4 per cent rise in malware instances, according to Symantec

      Within the first sentence the title of this article is proven to be click-bait by recasting a trending rise into a total instance. Further reading shows that the author likely doesn't know what Powershell is or what it does. I'm a bit disappointed: what business did this drek have in my morning news? Still nothing but love, Kent.

              Trust me, I see enough of it elsewhere that I'm never at risk of forgetting it exists.

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
