Comment on Threat actors exploited Windows 0-day for more than a year before Microsoft fixed it
conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoI already addressed compression. It’s as entirely trivial to whitelist those cases as it is to do in the first place.
Again, I said it’s not magic. But most of these cases are in attention that would be reduced meaningfully if Windows made them actually pick what file type they were opening. There’s a big gap between “advanced users” who will notice that it’s the only file with an extension and morons who will just skip everything no matter what it says.

Don’t bother with teh MS apologists. They are the worst.
If the operating system doesn’t know the file and the type of file, it’s a bad operating system.
It should be trivial to have an OS determine the file type and display a warning if the extension doesn’t match.
Posix has had ‘’‘file’‘’ for decades.
