      The title is pushing the narrative that “real companies” doing hostile bullshit isn’t “real malware”.

      When companies ship malware, it should be called malware.

      From the article:

      Even worse, the malware-looking Christmas wreath is linked to a process called “Christmas.exe.”

      So the process was actually called that. It popped up on my machine this morning and I immediately started scanning the whole system for malware and searching to see if anyone else had this problem.
