Microsoft bakes a VPN into Edge and turns it on

It is all fun and games until one of the downloads from your site picks up malware in transit and the user goes "why did this web admin infect my computer? Sue!"

This genuinely happens a lot in the 2020s.

I think of you say "genuinely happens a lot" you should give some examples, because this seems odd to me.

More likely sites get cloned, improve their SEO over the original, and distribute malware.

Ok since it happens a lot can you cite it happening in 3 different occasions since 2020?

Sceptical of that claim, can you provide a few documented cases?

Particularly for low-volume sites like the parent post.
