An ongoing malvertising campaign is targeting IT administrators looking to download system utilities such as PuTTY and FileZilla.

Real IT pros don’t use either of those in the first place.

Putty? Tell me you know nothing about IT…

How is this upvoted? PuTTY is legacy software at this point and it even neglects the fact that a lot of IT people have been using Linux for ages.

Even windoze has native openssh built in now. Most people who don’t like pain will simply use wsl instead.

Tell me you’ve never properly managed enterprise equipment at scale…

Seems a bit excessive to install WSL just to get an SSH client.

You don’t have to. There’s an openssh client available in powershell. Maybe when cmd, though I haven’t tried it.

Ah, cool. I do have WSL installed on every Windows box I use regularly, but it’s good to know for when I run into a more locked down machine.
