Plot Twist: Microsoft Defender’s Own Code Used Against It

In a surprising turn of events, Microsoft Defender, the trusted anti-malware tool, was found susceptible to arbitrary code execution. Discovered by security researcher Michael Reizelman, this vulnerability serves as a reminder that even the protectors need protection.

Hot Take:

Well, well, well, look what the cyber cat dragged in - Microsoft Defender, the knight in shining armor, is not so immune after all. It seems that even the best have their bad days, and Microsoft Defender is having one hell of a week. In a classic tale of the hunter being hunted, Microsoft's own anti-malware tool has been exploited to run arbitrary code. That's right folks, the protector has become the prey. If this doesn't scream "plot twist," I don't know what does!
