Can't find an english language news source for this, but it seems that #Microsoft Defender is flagging files that contain short strings (like "Squeamish Ossifrage" or "malicious_x = %p") from the #Spectre PoC as malware: https://m.heise.de/security/meldung/Microsoft-stuft-das-PoC-Programm-zu-Spectre-als-boesartig-ein-3959995.html
This is obviously useless for actual threat detection, so are they trying to find people who are playing with the PoC code?

It would be a good idea for #FOSDEM to re-evaluate their association with Google. What do Google stand for? How much of their software is actually open source these days? Is Google just openwashing at these types of conferences by promoting closed stuff and opaque algorithms behind APIs? -
