A new whitepaper published August 24th to Trend Micro explains how the perfectly legitimate driver mhyprot2.sys was used, absent any other parts of Genshin Impact, to gain root access to a system.

I think maybe you should re-evaluate your definition of "perfectly legitimate".

Just like the ~~Mafioso~~ "perfectly legitimate businessmen" who offer fire insurance and personal injury insurance door to door, after dark. Be a real shame if something were to happen.

I can understand that bugs happen. It's absolutely possible for well intentioned software to have a fatal flaw that leads to catastrophic security breaches.

But there's no scenario where a game having that access is defensible. It's gross overreach that can't possibly be in good faith and you deserve all the hate you get if anything bad happens.

Let's punch a huge hole in the OS and go from there. That sounds perfectly reasonable.

I could maybe somehow understand it, if it would bring you absolute safety from cheaters, the funniest part about this is, the cheat devs are still above them, so just throw in the towel of trying to destroy the safety of legitimate players devices if you are still losing anyway.
