Greg Abbott is not about to let this dope idea happen. Ain't no way.

ADHD time is a joke.

It's a clown-faced rubberbanding flat circle.

Hell yes I'm adding this to my notes as well, thank you!

Good morning! If anything this was a great example of not being able to know everything when it comes to IT and especially cybersecurity. Thank you for your well wishes! I earned my A+ last month and I'm currently working on a Google cybersec certificate, since it'll give me 30% off on the sec+ exam price. I really appreciate your insight on rootkits and it's definitely going in my notes!

Dude... That's fucked. They should really go a little more in depth on rootkits in the CompTIA A+ study material. I mean, I get that it's supposed to be a foundational over view of most IT concepts, but it would have helped me not look dumb.

not all rootkits are made to do that. So yes in some cases, throw it in the trash. In others, remediate your machine and move on.

The only way to fix an issue that deep after it gets exploited is to literally throw away your hard drive.

This can't be right.

Don't throw your hard drive in the trash. Quarantine the infected computer, and then wipe that hoe and slap your choice of OS back on it and scan/monitor to see if any issues arise.

Edit: since folks may or may not read though the rest of the conversation: I am wrong, throw that SSD/HDD in the garbage like barbarian said.

Ah, so then I think it was on a worldnews or news community. Which makes my previous comment stupid, lol. Thank you for the explanation.

Just chiming in to say that I remember seeing a .world mod telling us not to post full articles in the post or comments. The thing is, that mod had his account banned for COVID misinformation. Which, if I'm correct, is why you can't find any mention of the rule change?

the rule might not matter anymore tbh
