TIL I've logged 1,000 malware removals this year and the worst one was hiding in a printer driver
I hit 1,000 malware removals for the year last Friday and the milestone made me go back through my notes. The one that stuck out was a fake printer driver that sat quiet for 11 days and then locked a dental office in Tacoma out of every machine on their network. I had been skipping the driver rollback check because it usually takes 20 extra minutes, and that shortcut cost this place a full day of clean installs. Now I image before I poke at anything, no matter how simple the ticket looks. What is the longest a bug has sat on a machine before you caught it?
