    I’m totally sure it was an accident. I’m sure we’ve all made the mistake of opening Шет_Рцссу.mp4.exe after receiving it as an email attachment from Elmo. /s

    Joke aside, that’s some pretty impressive incompetence. Not once. Not twice. Multiple times. The guy ran infostealer malware multiple times over the course of multiple years.

    Lies.

    You cant be infected with malware if malware is already your default system of operation.
