I stopped using antiviruses years ago.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

Not saying that there isn't a real issue, but if there is, I sure can't tell it from those articles. They read to me like the kind of articles that say "The government has been hacked!" when the FBI's homepage has been defaced. :)

the only real issue is that they identified the "HDD reprogramming firmware module on "very few targets" only
and writing "Overall, the plugin uses a lot of undocumented, vendor-specific ATA commands" as if you can't get a hold of that "undocumented" serial ATA commands ... :lol:
