      Special note for Israeli users: If the malware determines that your location is Israel (it does this via locale and timezone checks) then it has a 1:6 chance that it will play a loud siren sound and run rm -rf /

      OK thats kind of funny though

        Some folks theorize Illusive Networks is responsible for the malware.

          That would track, for sure

          Is it conjecture or are there supporting details for that?

      Tried finding any relation between what you commented and the article without luck. Dunno why the “IR” (whatever that means) as a hyperlink to something included in the page from the devs the article links, the newspaper emoji or the middle finger emoji next to the author’s name.

      Also archived link: https://archive.md/H6C5f

        IR = Incident Report
