That’s pretty unsettling, especially if MicroVMs were being used to keep things nicely separated. I’m on a Windows 11 laptop at home, so I always pay attention when a “guest to host” issue shows up because it makes me wonder how much trust is really left in the isolation layer. What do you think—does this sound like a real escape risk or something that still needs a lot more proof?

Just got a weird “account security alert” email on my Windows 11 laptop saying a login had been blocked and I needed to verify my details right away. The sender looked close enough to the real company name, but the message felt rushed and the link preview was off. Has anyone else seen these lately, and what do you check first?

This morning I got a fake FedEx delivery notice on my Windows 11 laptop, and it looked almost real until I hovered over the button. The sender address was a mess and the page wanted me to “confirm” details I never entered. I deleted it right away, but it still made me stop and check my recent invoices. Has anyone else been seeing these lately?
