It pops up now and then: Why should you not run #Wireshark as Administrator/root. There are quite a few reasons for that, but a very good discussion about this topic has been written quite a while ago by @PacketJay and I just wanted to bring it up again: blog.packet-foo.com/2018/09/attack…

A security backdoor was recently discovered in liblzma 5.6.0 and 5.6.1. #Wireshark's Windows and macOS installers ship with liblzma, but not with those versions.
