I got an authentic looking email using a spoofed email address from my host. The red flag was I didn’t register my domain name with them. That’s the only reason why I checked the raw message.

Yeah, seems like this is what some people are using. They said you can use Tasker to run it in the background.

So is this the same as installing on the desktop? Run the service and then http to home to configure?

I miss the days US politicians took the effort to hide where their international illegal campaign contributions came from.

I’m shocked they are this sloppy.

I want an open source electric car.

I would download a car.

I guess we will see if “there’s no such things as bad publicity” works out for them.

Thank you.

Email is message exchange with a person or group of people. They can reply at any time.

IRC is a chatroom. You go to it when you want to chat. A lot of software have support channels. You probably don’t know most of these people. Unless you are saving them somehow, you don’t have a history of the chat room.

I’ve never used Matrix but it’s a instant messaging protocol that allows voice and video.

That’s the perfect representation of a government agency trying to create rules for other government agencies.

Moon Readers cloud sync is amazing if you read from multiple devices. I think they recently added book syncing too.

The security advisory is for version 13.x until 13.6 on the popular virtualization software for macOS. The bug — CVE-2024-38811 — has a CVSSv3 base score of 8.8 and is caused by an insecure environment variable. Mykola Grymalyuk of RIPEDA Consulting reported the vulnerability and VMWare has issued a patched version of the software.

The vulnerability allows a user with standard privileges to execute code within the Fusion application.

that makes sense. Thank you.

No negatives listed on the Wiki page. Are there any? Does potting increase the likely hood of overheating?

Since this is an offshoot of BlackCat, some experts say exploits in remote access software.

Microsoft creating security issues for not only their own operating systems but the operating systems of others.

New Tickler malware used to backdoor US govt, defense orgs

By Sergiu Gatlan August 28, 2024 02:36 PM

The APT33 Iranian hacking group has used new Tickler malware to backdoor the networks of organizations in the government, defense, satellite, oil and gas sectors in the United States and the United Arab Emirates.

As Microsoft security researchers observed, the threat group (also tracked as Peach Sandstorm and Refined Kitten), which operates on behalf of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), used this new malware as part of an intelligence collection campaign between April and July 2024.

Throughout these attacks, the threat actors leveraged Microsoft Azure infrastructure for command-and-control (C2), using fraudulent, attacker-controlled Azure subscriptions that the company has since disrupted.

APT33 breached targeted organizations in the defense, space, education, and government sectors following successful password spray attacks between April and May 2024. In these attacks, they attempted to gain access to many accounts using a small number of commonly used passwords to avoid triggering account lockouts.

“While the password spray activity appeared consistently across sectors, Microsoft observed Peach Sandstorm exclusively leveraging compromised user accounts in the education sector to procure operational infrastructure. In these cases, the threat actor accessed existing Azure subscriptions or created one using the compromised account to host their infrastructure,” Microsoft said.

The Azure infrastructure they gained control of was used in subsequent operations targeting the government, defense, and space sectors.

“In the past year, Peach Sandstorm has successfully compromised several organizations, primarily in the aforementioned sectors, using bespoke tooling,” Microsoft added.

The Iranian threat group also used this tactic in November 2023 to compromise the networks of defense contractors worldwide and deploy FalseFont backdoor malware.

In September, Microsoft warned of another APT33 campaign that had targeted thousands of organizations worldwide in extensive password spray attacks since February 2023, leading to breaches in the defense, satellite, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Microsoft has announced that starting October 15, multi-factor authentication (MFA) will be mandatory for all Azure sign-in attempts to protect Azure accounts against phishing and hijacking attempts.

The company has previously found that MFA allows 99.99% of MFA-enabled accounts to resist hacking attempts and reduces the risk of compromise by 98.56%, even when attackers attempt to breach accounts using previously compromised credentials.

I think it’s because they sold hoodies which cost $60 instead of $35 and it looks like a third of the people donated money to the cause.

I get that they are doing this just because of the law so they stopped it when they got enough. But I wanted a shirt! lol.

Looks like they got the funding they need. I wished they kept the shirts up for sale though…
