Also cool is, that Wireshark directly allows you to start an application with this environment variable set. So you can launch a browser from within Wireshark and directly decrypt and analyze the TLS traffic. 😃👌

This dude's villain origin story started the moment his parents wrote that down on the birth certificate. You can't name a guy Semen Cucksov and not expect him to pull some shit like this 😒 😑
Semen Kuksov, who acquired a Maltese passport in 2022 together with his father, has been linked to a network allegedly used to support “serious and organised crime”, ranging from Russian ransomware attacks to drug dealing in the UK.
Russian man who became Maltese citizen ran ‘bank for criminals across the world’

Soo... A little bit of awareness is probably a good idea :p

We can delete MDI sensors from the Defender portal and do so in bulk via the internal API

It might be a good idea to set up a detection for this:

CloudAppEvents

idk why the DPRK bothers with all the other stuff when the golden goose of running the world's most successful IT bootcamps is right under their noses.

Great story. Github repository of Chinese firm iSoon reveals hacking ops its done for Chinese gov - "lists targets...summaries of...data amounts extracted and details on whether the hackers [got] full or partial control...spreadsheet showed that the firm had...459GB of road-mapping data from Taiwan"
Leaked files from Chinese firm show vast international hacking effort
The trove shows how Chinese security services promote rivalry between private hacking companies, spurring them to target foreign governments and institutions.

Got an alert today about a weird banking .exe a user had downloaded. Boss recognized it and sent me Wladimir Palant's blog. I thought this was an old article from the ~90s and this was some niche legacy software until I got to the end and saw the disclosures from early 2023!
South Korea’s online security dead end
Websites in South Korea often require installation of “security applications.” Not only do these mandatory applications not help security, way too often they introduce issues.

The Rhysida ransomware decryption paper is really well written and easy to follow. Great breakdown of the weakness in the encryption techniques used and the decryption strategy. Recommend giving it a read if you're interested in malware arxiv.org/abs/2402.06440
