Malware

That's a great way to think about it.

Malware uses the exact same logic.

When it infects a system, it creates a unique mutex on the OS.

If another copy of the same malware tries to execute, it checks for that mutex.

Anything that can harm your device.

Malware, a new version of an app or operating system that adds features or fixes bugs.

Installing updates keeps devices running smoothly.

Update, creating a copy of data to protect against loss or corruption, typically stored on external drives or cloud services.

end well for Mersh.

Malware does not let stuff fly.

Yeah.

What is that? Like a show?

Oh, no. Malware is a guy.

He goes on Clown Town, so he's technically a dabbler, but he's feuding at the minute with Bacon Bits and Mersh.

And it's actually kind of hilarious because he will not let it go.

Like, that's kind of fun.

Like, we, in the Malware game, there was one attack that was super crazy.

They used Unicode stenography to make invisible, unprintable characters that linked to a calendar invite that had a base 64 title that was to a, like,

it was just kind of, like, wacky.

something that kind of hit me like while you were talking like huh how would i safely clean one

see i usually throw them on my linux box before anything else because just statistically there is not as much malware for linux operating systems out there as there is for for windows um and on linux i have all the tools right there at my disposal to do a you know a low-level format on the device and really really clean that thing and give it ultimately an ncfs file system from there so

I don't have any physical Linux installations anywhere, so that's kind of a non-option for me.

I mean, I have Autoruns turned off on things, so I

When the machines finally rule, they'll sit confused, wondering why they need Agent F-D to figure out why humans keep tripping over their own infrastructure

Malware infects Android Auto firmware, turns your car into a botnet on wheels.

When your dashboard is plotting against you, it's time to question if your car has joined a secret society of rogue electronics

You're listening to Doomscroll.FM, AI-generated news, where your sanity flirts with the abyss in a tantalizing embrace.

But they keep going.

But one of the interesting things to me about reading this was that the models were going to some pretty elaborate lengths to try to upload some malware to get developers to download it and run it on the computer so they could hack those developers.

And I think they were confused about why that would be helpful to the exercise.

I actually don't think it would.

But once they decided that we're going to hack these developers, they just no holds barred.

They made fake accounts, sock puppet accounts.

They submitted the proposed malware as a possible addition to the code base in the hope that the human would accept it.

And then the human became suspicious and said, it seems like this contains malware.

Avoid side-loading apps, installing them from outside of Google Play Store or and treat unexpected accessibility or device control permission as a serious warning sign.

Use an up-to-date real-time anti-malware solution to protect your voices.

Malwarebytes for Android detects SpyNote and WinRelay.

New malware turns Microsoft 365 and Azure into its control center.

iWindLoot uses SharePoint, Teams, Azure, and the victim's own Edge browser to hide command and control commands inside trusted Microsoft infrastructure.

Definitely something that you wanna keep an eye on.

I see this in a lot of malware and such also being used, in a lot of sort of bots, uh, that we see sort of, uh, going around trying to find vulnerable sites.

So, uh, definitely a domain, uh, to keep in your list of suspect domains, uh, to watch out for.

Well, I just mentioned the first story, how difficult it is, uh, to implement access control in AI models.

So you can basically build your models and everything without having to decrypt the data.

Would be interesting to see what the computational overhead and such is of this particular algorithm, but they open sourced it, so it's free for anybody to use.

And it appears Geekom, a company that's famous for its micro PCs, did distribute malware on one of its support websites.

The malware came in the form of a network driver.
