Hackers abuse Microsoft ClickOnce and AWS services for stealthy attacks

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-15 07:34:38

A sophisticated malicious campaign that researchers call OneClik has been leveraging Microsoft’s ClickOnce software deployment tool and custom Golang backdoors to compromise organizations within the energy, oil, and gas sectors. The hackers rely on legitimate AWS cloud services (AWS, Cloudfront, API Gateway, Lambda) to keep the command and control (C2) infrastructure hidden. ClickOnce is a deployment technology from Microsoft that allows developers to create self-updating Windows-based applica

Broken by design: systemd 09 Feb 2014 19:56:09 GMT Recently the topic of systemd has come up quite a bit in various communities in which I'm involved, including the musl IRC channel and on the Busybox mailing list. While the attitude towards systemd in these communities is largely negative, much of what I've seen has been either dismissable by folks in different circles as mere conservatism, or tempered by an idea that despite its flaws, "the design is sound". This latter view comes with the

A New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands the Same Side Up

news.ycombinator.com Elise Cutts 2025-09-15 07:01:07

In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces. One major open problem, for instance, asks how densely you can pack “regular” tetrahedra, which have identical faces. Another as

Is DOGE doomed to fail? Some experts are ready to call it.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-15 07:40:12

Critics are increasingly branding Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as a failure, including lawmakers fiercely debating how much funding to allot next year to the controversial agency. On Tuesday, Republicans and Democrats sparred over DOGE's future at a DOGE subcommittee hearing, according to NextGov, a news site for federal IT workers. On one side, Republicans sought to "lock in" and codify the "DOGE process" for supposedly reducing waste and fraud in government, and on t

Google’s spotty Find Hub network could get better thanks to a small setup tweak

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-15 07:53:53

Bluetooth trackers have existed for quite a while, but Apple made them worthwhile when it enlisted every iPhone to support AirTags. The tracking was so reliable that Apple had to add anti-stalking features, and there are just as many Android phones out there. However, Google's version of mobile device tracking, known as Find Hub, has been comparatively spotty. Now, Google is about to offer users a choice that could fix Bluetooth tracking on Android.

A European Startup's Spacecraft Made It to Orbit. Now It's Lost at Sea

wired.com Eric Berger 2025-09-15 07:25:49

A European company that seeks to develop orbital spacecraft for cargo, and eventually humans, took a step forward this week with a test flight that saw its Mission Possible vehicle power up and fly successfully in orbit before making a controlled reentry into Earth's atmosphere. However, after encountering an “issue,” the Exploration Company lost contact with its spacecraft a few minutes before touchdown in the ocean.

Trump Mobile drops its 'made in the USA' claims

The Trump Organization announced a cellular brand earlier this summer, and its main selling point for Trump Mobile was that its T1 smartphone was "made in the USA." It seemed highly unlikely that those claims about the phone were possible. Now, the website for the device has removed all language indicating that it was manufactured in the US. Instead, there is broader language such as "designed with American values in mind" and "Premium Performance. Proudly American." The Verge also noticed that
