Sorry for the Twitter link, but Patrick Wardle doesn't yet have a Mastodon account that I can find.

Microsoft security blog post "comes close" to ripping off Wardle's "The Art of Mac Malware," and doesn't cite prior research, which it clearly draws upon, he says.

The post in question: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2023/01/05/unraveling-the-techniques-of-mac-ransomware/

“Microsoft's latest ~5000 word "research" blog on Mac ransomware contain zero new research ...yet contains no citations / credit to existing research 😢 See: https://t.co/nhmeniUuLC Worst, seems pretty close to ripping off "The Art of Mac Malware" book. 😳 What y'all think?”

@duckunix Not a Mastodon account. That's a connection to a bot that tries to retrieve Twitter posts and pull them in Mastodon. But like bird.makeup, it's blocked on mastodon.social, my instance.
