McAfee’s own anti-hacking service exposed users to banking malware

This article talks about the following: McAfee, one of the largest security companies that builds protection software, failed to successfully implement anti-hacking service. The company’s own network sent malware to consumers and ultimately it had to block the malware being sent from the company’s own network. Consumers who would have opened word documents, would have been attacked by Emotet banking malware

It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the future. This is a bizarre incident as the company that supplies its antivirus and security solutions globally itself was generating malware for its customers. Will the users are already using McAfee services be impacted with this? How can the company protect its shipments from this malware already being pre-installed?
