Software that is designed to prevent malware from uploading sensitive information to the internet has an option to upload sensitive information to the internet. What idiot thought that was a good feature to add regardless of the warnings? It makes the software do the complete opposite of what it's supposed to do.
If someone needed that then it should have been a special version of the software, not sometthing that's a single option to enable. Way to easy for it to get turned on by accident. Even smart people sometimes make mistakes, not to mention interns, managment that likes to pretend they're techies, botched upgrades, etc.
Some folks use it in lab environments where the information present is very controlled.
This article is a straight up hit piece.
