RE tip of the day: To stop at the entry point of malware that will eventually be executed, insert \xEB\xFE (an infinite loop) bytes there. Then, attach to the corresponding process (consuming a lot of CPU) and restore the original bytes #cybersecurity #malware #reverseengineering

Two U.S. Nationals Sentenced for Facilitating Fraudulent Remote Information Technology Worker Scheme that Generated $5M in Revenue for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea “For years, the defendants enriched themselves by assisting North Korean actors in a fraudulent scheme to gain employment with U.S. companies,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “The ruse placed North Korean IT workers on the payrolls of unwitting U.S. companies and in U.S. computer systems, thereby harming our national security. NSD will hold accountable those who facilitate North Korea’s illicit revenue generation efforts.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/two-us-…

BREAKING: You checked the weather this morning. And you just told a surveillance company where you sleep. Meet #Webloc, used by ICE, cops & foreign govs to track 500m+ phones. No warrant required. Our latest @citizenlab investigation + how to protect yourself 🧵/1

The @FBI has identified cyber actors associated with Russian Intelligence Services targeting users of commercial messaging applications, including Signal. The campaign targets individuals of high intelligence value, including current and former U.S. government officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists.   Globally, this effort has resulted in unauthorized access to thousands of individual accounts. After gaining access, the actors can view messages and contact lists, send messages as the victim, and conduct additional phishing from a trusted identity. It's important for you to be aware and take action - this vulnerability is not with the application - but you as the end user.   The FBI and CISA have released a joint PSA to help you identify this activity and protect your accounts: ic3.gov/PSA/2026/PSA26…

Today the Danish Defence Intelligence Service attributed two cyberattacks to Russia. We strongly condemn these attacks against a Danish water utility and Danish websites during elections in DK. We call on Russia to cease these malicious cyber activities fe-ddis.dk/globalassets/f…

It’s been a while since I read a good blog post about WiFi hacking tricks. The hack does not necessarily have to be complex to work.

@sygnia_labs hey guys, awesome work. and, typo in your post? "This finding aligns with reporting by Google Cloud Threat Intelligence, which documented the use of CVE-2023-34048 by UNC3668 to exploit vCenter" <-- i think you mean 3886

Sygnia has uncovered #FireAnt — a China-nexus cyber espionage campaign targeting critical infrastructure. The threat actor exploits VMware #ESXi, #vCenter, and network appliances with stealthy, multilayered attacks, showing ties to #UNC3886.

A Chinese cyberespionage actor was arrested in Italy over the holiday and faces extradition to the US. The crew he's connected to is pretty serious. reuters.com/world/china/it…

apropo of nothing, and not a subtweet at any company/team What causes once great research / intel teams to fade? Obvious answers seem talent flight and stifling from acquisitions, but that can’t be all of it right? Or are our the legacies limited to our tenure?
