~~I think the title indicates that it's like the malware known as "Christmas.exe".~~
Edit: I have too much faith in humanity..
The title is pushing the narrative that "real companies" doing hostile bullshit isn't "real malware".
When companies ship malware, it should be called malware.
From the article:
So the process was actually called that. It popped up on my machine this morning and I immediately started scanning the whole system for malware and searching to see if anyone else had this problem.
Jesus Christ what the fuck.
