I’m a big fan of creating thousands of folders with machine generated names to house my 27,000 Java files with, you guess it, more machine generated names.
I was prepared to roll my eyes after their introduction which was pure conjecture, but they they started pushing data. Individually these strange practices aren’t conclusive evidence for malware, but combined it’s hard to see any legitimate use for this kind of design for a company acting in good faith.
