Trying to evaluate vivaldi as a possible replacement for floorp (unless firefox reverses its stance on AI, which, very excitingly, is a possibility!).
But the lack of containers in vivaldi is so disorienting. It makes me feel so damn vulnerable because I know that ALL the sites are having a feast sharing my profile and fingerprints with each other. Nasty. It just makes me sick.

Tracking the Expansion of ShinyHunters-Branded SaaS Data Theft
Threat actors associated with ShinyHunters-branded extortion operations are expanding their tactics, targeting cloud-based SaaS applications for data theft and extortion. The attackers use sophisticated voice phishing and credential harvesting to gain initial access, then exfiltrate sensitive data from various platforms. They employ aggressive extortion tactics, including harassment and DDoS attacks. The activity involves multiple threat clusters (UNC6661, UNC6671, UNC6240) and targets a growing number of cloud platforms. The attackers leverage social engineering to bypass MFA and use tools like ToogleBox Recall to cover their tracks. This activity highlights the effectiveness of social engineering and the importance of phishing-resistant MFA methods.

ChatBots "talking" to ChatBots.
1. Ok, we knew this would happen.
2. It has enormous adoption in the geeksphere - not surprising.
3. It's wickedly insecure.
4. Yes, it can steal your Crypto - not surprising!
5. Yes, there is personal information stealing Malware (see #4 above) masquerading as prediction market trading automation tools - not surprising!
6. The odds of a "Challenger level disaster" happening are real - not surprising!
6. Finally, NO ONE knows where this is stuff will end up.

When Malware Talks Back
A sophisticated multi-stage malware campaign employs living-off-the-land techniques and in-memory payload delivery to evade security controls. The infection chain begins with a hidden batch file that executes an embedded PowerShell loader, which then injects Donut-generated shellcode into legitimate Windows processes. The final payload is a heavily obfuscated .NET framework implementing advanced anti-analysis techniques, credential harvesting, surveillance capabilities, and remote system control. Data exfiltration occurs via Discord webhooks and Telegram bots. The malware, identified as Pulsar RAT, features live chat functionality and background payload deployment, demonstrating a modern, high-evasion Windows malware operation designed for long-term access and large-scale data theft.

NFCShare Android Trojan: NFC card data theft via malicious APK
A new Android trojan, named NFCShare, has been discovered targeting Deutsche Bank customers through a phishing campaign. The malware, disguised as a banking app update, prompts users to perform a fake card verification process. It exploits NFC technology to steal card data and PINs, which are then exfiltrated to a remote WebSocket endpoint. The trojan's distribution, user flow, and technical analysis are detailed, including its NFC reading capabilities and string obfuscation techniques. The malware shows links to Chinese-linked tooling and similarities to other NFC-based threats. IOCs include hashes, package details, and network indicators.

Inside a Multi-Stage Windows Malware Campaign
A sophisticated multi-stage malware campaign targeting Windows users in Russia has been identified. The attack chain begins with social engineering lures and progresses to a full system compromise, including security bypass, surveillance, and ransomware delivery. It abuses Defendnot to disable Microsoft Defender and uses modular hosting across cloud services. The attack employs various techniques such as PowerShell scripts, obfuscated VBScript, and COM object manipulation. It deploys Amnesia RAT for data theft and surveillance, Hakuna Matata ransomware for file encryption, and a WinLocker component for system lockout. The campaign demonstrates how full system compromise can be achieved without exploiting software vulnerabilities, instead relying on social engineering and abuse of legitimate Windows features.

I left FB 15yrs ago. Never regretted it. I don't use LinkedIn or Insta or TikTok.
95% of my friends message through Signal rather than Meta ie Messenger (FB) or WApp
One of my dearest friends refuses to get a Signal account and leave Meta/WApp bc she says "it's another app to download and they're all the same". Im in Aus. She's in UK. I don't want to lose touch but I want to close WApp.
Give me sthg WATERTIGHT, people, to convince her Meta/WApp is fucked. Bc it is.
I've told her about Meta's anti LGBTQI stance, the data theft, the lack of privacy. Her son is gay but so far nothing has got through to her...
