      A new whitepaper published August 24th to Trend Micro explains how the perfectly legitimate driver mhyprot2.sys was used, absent any other parts of Genshin Impact, to gain root access to a system.

      I think maybe you should re-evaluate your definition of "perfectly legitimate".

        Just like the Mafioso “perfectly legitimate businessmen” who offer fire insurance and personal injury insurance door to door, after dark. Be a real shame if something were to happen.
