VMs have vulnerabilities, if you really want to be safe use a dedicated air-gapped pc, or don't run it at all.
You sitting on some hypervisor zero days worth fucking millions over here to infect some idiot trying to run GTA6?
You have any idea how many people don't update their computers?
I somewhat doubt the malware devs chucking their probably pirated copy of some cred stealer have implemented some zero day VM breakout exploit lol.
So do I, but there are enough people running out of date software that old vulnerabilities are still being actively exploited.
