It isn't really new news that Symantec have added crypto mining to Norton 360, but it popped up in my feed and it's still just such a ridiculous thing for a security company to do.

At first I was like "next they'll be encrypting your drive", but wait, maybe they already have full disk encryption. Then I thought, about carrying out commands sent from a server, but that's kind of part of how some anti-malware works too (especially those that send samples to the company's servers if it's a file that's never been seen before). They also download and execute binaries from remote servers - as part of their update process.
It's getting harder and harder to find a malicious payload that doesn't have a counterpart in security software.

This meme just keeps evolving. I've seen photos of people wearing an actual antivirus CD as a mask. I've seen cartoon versions of those photos. I've seen those cartoons printed on masks and shirts and mugs, and now we have a face mask that looks like an antivirus CD.
