Microsoft Defender Tags Office Updates As Ransomware
joshuark writes: In one of those in-your-face irony or karmic debt, Bleeping Computer reports that Microsoft Defender tags Office updates as ransomware. The article states: "Windows admins were hit today by a wave of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint false positives where Office updates were tagged as malicious in alerts pointing to ransomware behavior detected on their systems." Further on, an explanation for the source of the karmic irony is: "The root cause of the false positives was a recently deployed update within service components for detecting ransomware alerts." Couldn't this have waited for April 1st? Bleeping Computer goes on, "A Microsoft spokesperson was not available for comment when contacted by BleepingComputer earlier today."Read more of this story at Slashdot.
