it’s not that i specifically distrust the software or google drive or whatever, but it seems such an unreliable process that i can’t help but question their judgment in distributing software this way

whenever you connect to the vpn it scans to make sure you have an up-to-date OS version and have antivirus installed etc etc … and yet you wanted me to download some random program off your google drive and run it with admin privileges ???

@benjamineskola I see this pattern a lot. Some institution like a bank will use unsafe practices, but they are probably legit.

The problem is that how are normies supposed to get any clue about what's safe an what's not?

And infosec people tend to not be the greatest educators. What with all the "private review of the situation" BS.
