      @grittygrease @4Dgifts The "cloud" runs on computers, and those are admin/built/used by people using more comps. Guess what runs on them.

      @grittygrease Do you also understand that the "cloud" runs on computers? RCE on those computers is therefore more serious than DoS.

          @taviso From what I understand it's a straight rip and replace for trad AV, vastly superior (but still not perfect) detection rates.
