Source: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/pentagon-sees-chinese-spy-cranes-us-ports-trojan-horse

According to national #security and Pentagon officials, the ship-to-shore cranes, produced by #China's #ZPMC, are equipped with advanced sensors capable of detecting and monitoring #shipping containers, raising alarms that #Beijing could gather #intelligence about the materials being transported to or from the US ports or #military bases.

"Cranes can be the new #Huawei," Bill Evanina, a former top US #counterintelligence official, told WSJ.

Never-before-seen #malware is nuking #data in #Russia’s courts and mayors’ offices

source: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/12/never-before-seen-malware-is-nuking-data-in-russias-courts-and-mayors-offices/

“After examining a sample of #malware, we found out that this #Trojan, although it masquerades as a #ransomware and extorts #money from the victim for ‘decrypting’ data, does not actually #encrypt, but purposefully destroys data in the affected system,” #Kaspersky’s report stated. “Moreover, an analysis of the Trojan's program #code showed that this was not a developer's mistake, but his original intention.”

Newly found zero-click #iPhone #exploit used in #NSO #spyware #attacks

Among the victims of these attacks, Citizen Lab mentioned Catalan Members of the European #Parliament (MEPs), every Catalan president since 2010, as well as Catalan legislators, jurists, journalists, and members of civil #society organizations and their families.

...

According to Citizen Lab Director Ron Deibert, multiple suspected #infections with #Pegasus spyware within official #UK networks were also reported by Citizen Lab to the #government of the United Kingdom.

#node.js used by #Adobe, #Logitech, #Nvidia and others can be used to #exploite #Windows 😱

So what can you do with these and how can they be abused:

You can modify the JSON and JS files mentioned in order to:
- arbitrary download binaries
- ignore download checksums
- execute commands as SYSTEM
- C2 on the behalf of applications
- perform file I/O as SYSTEM
etc.

...

A good generic tool should scan the local appdata and program file folders for instances of NODE.JS or JSON files (Maybe not Microsoft Store instances) and then have templates for trojanizing each vendor's custom #NodeJS and #JSON.

#Israel blocked #Ukraine from buying #Pegasus #spyware, fearing #Russia’s anger

source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/23/israel-ukraine-pegasus-spyware-russia

The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr #Zelenskiy, has been critical of Israel’s stance since Russia launched its full and bloody #invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, saying in a recent address before members of Israel’s Knesset that Israel would have to “give answers” on why it had not given #weapons to Ukraine or applied #sanctions on Russians.

Did the #Cyberwar started with #StuxNet?

Will World War III begin in #cyberspace?

source: https://www.computerworld.com/article/3647879/will-world-war-iii-begin-in-cyberspace.html

People die because of cyber wars, even if no bullets are ever fired. Instead, they die in #emergency rooms that no longer have power, from broken medical #communication networks, and from riots. All of this has happened before. It will happen again. And now, with #Russia poised to invade #Ukraine and Russian cyberattacks already in motion, we can only hope and pray that what promises to be the first major European war since World War II doesn't spark the next #WorldWar.

...

More recently, "58% of all cyberattacks from nation-states have come from Russia," said Tom Burt, #Microsoft corporate vice president. For example, the US and #UK blame the Russian Foreign #Intelligence Service (SVR) for the huge #SolarWinds software supply chain #attack. As Burt pointed out, #Kremlin - backed hackers are becoming "increasingly effective." That's no surprise. After all, Russian agents have been at it for years.

Those who invest nothing in #IT #security will be hacked. If the company is lucky, it is only an #encryption #Trojan and can buy its way out. In worse cases, the company is simply paralyzed and the business secrets are sold in #China. Depending on who is on the bullet list at the moment, it is Russia, China, #Iran or #NorthKorea. Such attacks can be easily disguised, and it is usually not even possible to assign them. Microsoft should rather invest more in its software instead of smart slogans, because macros are still the main gateway for encryption Trojans.

#NSO Group #Spyware Targeted Dozens of #Reporters in #ElSalvador

“If #Mexico was dramatic, this one is jaw-dropping,” says John Scott-Railton, senior researcher at #CitizenLab, “because what we found was this incredibly extensive, pervasive, and aggressive targeting of media in El Salvador. And that targeting is very much paired with other threats against #media there.”

Female journalists and activists say they had their private photos shared on #social #media by governments seeking to intimidate and silence them.

#GhadaOueiss, a Lebanese broadcast #journalist at #Al-Jazeera, was eating dinner at home with her husband last June when she received a message from a colleague telling her to check #Twitter. Oueiss opened up the #account and was horrified: A private photo taken when she was wearing a bikini in a jacuzzi was being circulated by a network of accounts, accompanied by false claims that the photos were taken at her boss’s house.

The unauthenticated factory reset vulnerability been assigned CVE-2021-35941.

One does not simply connect a hard drive to the internet without ever wanting to produce #security updates!

So what can the customers do now? 🤔

My Book Live users will also be offered a trade-in program to upgrade to a supported My #Cloud device.

Buy new snake oil from the same #company. Capitalism is like hell.

And that's the major difference with #FLOSS, because with free software you would get an update!
