A technical exploration of modern phishing tactics, from basic HTML pages to advanced MFA-bypassing techniques, with analysis of infrastructure setup and delivery methods used by phishers in 2025. Introduction In 2025, phishing is still the most prevalent kind of cyber attack on the planet. Indeed, 1.2% of the global email traffic is phishing.

In 2024 and 2025, I served for six months as an international volunteer on a first-person view attack drone team in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. My team was deployed in the Donbas region, in one of the hottest sectors of the front. When I joined the team, I was excited to work with a cutting-edge tool. By the end of my deployment, I was a bit disillusioned. Let me tell you why. First-person view drones are unmanned aerial vehicles with four propellers located at the four corners of the craft, r

higher The functor hierarchy and other terrible ideas for Rust. Yes, this gives you generalisable monads in Rust. No, they're not very nice compared to Haskell, because Rust's functions aren't quite as first class from the type system's perspective as you might like them to be, type constraints in trait implementations can be a serious headache when you want to implement, say, Functor for HashSet , and the type system can be particularly obtuse at times and need a lot of additional and extreme

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-03 14:14:59

The Russian state-sponsored threat group APT28 is using Signal chats to target government targets in Ukraine with two previously undocumented malware families named BeardShell and SlimAgent. To be clear, this is not a security issue in Signal. Instead, threat actors are more commonly utilizing the messaging platform as part of their phishing attacks due to its increased usage by governments worldwide. The attacks were first discovered by Ukraine's Computer and Emergency Response (CERT-UA) in M
