Copy link

Dear God no! Despite the fact that http://bit.ly/2oqZQm9 does appear to resolve to the above script, no one should ever run a powershell script directly off of some bit.ly link. Download it, look at it, and then run it.

While I have no reason to distrust @bdwyertech, and the script linked does do what it says it does, there's nothing stopping them from swapping out the destination of that link in the future, or even redirecting the link based on the user agent string of the request and slipping in something malicious.

lol
