Microsoft releases Defender ATP for Linux:

On June 23, Microsoft released Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) for Linux for general use.

But before you get excited while you could use this on a Linux desktop, this version of ATP is not meant for the desktop. It's to protect Linux servers from server and network threats. If you want protection for your standalone desktop, you're better off with a such as ClamAV or Sophos Antivirus for Linux.

For sysadmins and security pros, Microsoft Defender Security Center is now available for monitoring and managing security across the full spectrum of enterprise desktop and server platforms -- Android, Windows, Windows Server, macOS, and Linux.

    My linux server is dedicated to finding, and serving, the very latest in Microsoft vulnerabilities! I put them in all the email that passes through my server. I attach them to all http requests. I hope that Microsoft will die, soon, from all the malware and its own telemetry, since everyone's passwords are not the property of Redmond. And I serve malware, viruses, poop, and Facebook requests, to whoever contacts my servers, and I do not feel the least bad about it. After what they did to me, with the Blue Screams of Death, that killed my family, in their "self-driving" Microsoft car, that went off the cliff, displaying "Retry, Abort, Fail, Die?"

    "I don't expect you to talk, Mr. Gates, I expect you to die!" Dude had his reasons.
