My takeaway is that sandboxing should be more readily available, and integrated into the OS.

I used sandboxie a while ago for stuff like this, but afaik windows has some sandbox built into it since a few years which I didnt think about until now.

Yeah, Windows Sandbox is available on Win 10/11 Pro and Enterprise and it's actually pretty neat. I used to use it in a previous job where I was forced to run Windows.

However, I think OP might be using WSL and I'm not sure that's available in Sandbox.

    Windows Sandbox looks like an alpha. It's nowhere near where Microsoft's valuation is.

    That said with enough attacks of this kind we may actually get real security progress (and a temporary update freeze maybe), fucking finally.
