  • If this lets you monitor the patch status of the end clients in your org, then it’s actually cheaper than existing solutions used for managing regular Windows updates.

    The only questionable part is how reliable, trustworthy, and secure is 0patch themselves?

    Allowing a third party access to patch system level files opens the risk of a rootkit install. (In fact their agent being able to access system would function much like a rootkit itself).

    They could easily backdoor something into thousands, or even tens of thousands of PC very quickly. Make a huge botnet, steal data, etc, etc.

    Assuming they are trustworthy themselves, if their security is compromised, either from hackers or even a rogue employee, the same results could happen and could take a long time to discover.













  • Apple won’t do shit to help. We have a bunch that are locked with iCloud accounts tied to former employees company emails which we have full control over…but when you try to reset the password they try to send a text to the phone that set them up (which we have no access to). We tried to get help from Apple and they won’t unlock any device that we don’t have proof of purchasing directly from Apple, and since they were bought at random retailers they just tell us to buy more new iPads.
