    Huntress admits to being able to see everything you do on your computer if you install their software on your computer during a free trial. Note: We know that EDR (read modern day "antivirus" software) can "see" everything on your computer. That's how it works. It has to scan everything, files, your internet activity - to protect you... right. What many don't realize is that that action is not limited to your local computer. EDR/antivirus companies send all that data back to their company. In effect, anyone at that company can peer into your computer and see what you're doing and what websites you visit.Here Huntress does just that and unilaterally determines that this user of their software is a Bad Guy️. And after that determination decides to release everything they can see on that "bad guy's" computer and the web search and browsing activity that the "bad guy" does.I'm sure the user clicked "accept" on the Terms of Service that allowed Huntress to install what amounts to spyware on their computer and allowed Huntress to record and send all of that "telemetry" back to the company for "analysis".#huntress #spyware #privacy #infosec https://www.huntress.com/blog/rare-look-inside-attacker-operation
