  The driver-level anti-cheat that was used by Genshin Impact and then later on ransomware should always be brought up on the topic of anti-cheat.

    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.

        I can understand that bugs happen. It's absolutely possible for well intentioned software to have a fatal flaw that leads to catastrophic security breaches.

        But there's no scenario where a game having that access is defensible. It's gross overreach that can't possibly be in good faith and you deserve all the hate you get if anything bad happens.

      Let’s punch a huge hole in the OS and go from there. That sounds perfectly reasonable.
