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

    The install size is just 8KB. Could it just be a link to open Edge?

      The icon itself is probably more than 8kb. It’s either incorrect or literally just a desktop URL shortcut

      I don’t even see a link. Though I guess I should look inside Microsoft Edge.

      Edit: I cannot find anyway to get to it in either the desktop or Edge. I do not have a signed in Microsoft account on this machine, so that may be why I don’t see it. I’m not willing to sign in to see.

      I did see another report that it’s just a component in Edge. Unfortunately I don’t have that link handy right now.
