I've had discussions with coworkers on why you shouldn't ve downloading putty from putty.org. Sure, they seem to be linking to the official downloads now , but imho it's just poor hygiene to use such pages. It takes just a moment of carelessness to get pwned

Windows 10 has real OpenSSH ssh installed by default now (since April). The time for PuTTY has passed. May it rest in peace.

PuTTY's been a thing for almost two decades at this point. That's quite a lot of inertia; It will take a lot more than three months for people to migrate, nevermind the people who aren't on W10.

Who did this without thinking about an exfiltration tool instead?

one of those "make money online"/"internet marketing" type people just wanting to get the affiliate commissions from a pay-per-install network of the PUP bundler type.

Ok
