Psychology 101.
No. There's no benefit to me if they do. It will only potentially serve as an issue for me.
Ya this happens so much. So frustrating. On the voice ones I get so fed up I just keep saying "agent" until I'm finally redirected.
I work in IT and I work 2 of those jobs at once.
Ya in the business world that's what WSUS is/was for
Not sure, been a while since I used those
Most threat actors are looking at who owns what IP space and checking the IPs of that, or what other public info they can find (website address etc). Not chasing after someone with a consumer internet IP. There is just not the same incentive.
I don't get your point. This isn't an attack, this is a cheap consumer company doing what they do best and stealing your personal information because $ and other crap. If this happened in enterprise they'd be in so much shit with laws. Cisco, juniper, Aruba, etc are not going to be shipping off your passwords because that liability is going to be a big problem.
Enterprise level stuff also charge top dollar and don't need to sell your data to make more money.
If enterprise level stuff we're doing this intentionally they'd be out of business. This would not fly with SOC and other security designations.
Additionally just because a consumer uses enterprise gear, that does not make them a larger target. I'm not Microsoft. No state attacker is going to want my worthless data.
Not sure if it's still a thing but I remember they also used windows to distribute updates to other windows PCs in a bittorrent-like fashion.
My surface with windows 11 has been hot trash. So many unfixed bugs. Dism, sfc, etc say everything is ok. Lol.
