    "You guys never do an inner test before publish? Oh come on."

    I've been wondering the same thing.  How this could have passed QA?

    I understand that it is important to get updates out quickly to minimize endpoint exposure to threats, so there would be a balancing act between quick updates versus QA, but I can't imagine how this could have been missed.

    It's not as if it only falsely triggered against some obscure 3rd party software!  It's triggered against Sophos own software itself!?
