“the malware is written in the Visual Basic Scripting language.” is where I stopped 😹 lol at least we know the Russians are suffering.
To be fair, it’s pretty smart to exploit the flaws in VB to make malware.
To be fair, it’s pretty smart to exploit the flaws in Microsoft to make malware.
Haha touché
Are they? Because if the worm is successfully spreading… 🤷
It’s funny, though…
They’re Russians. There’s no situation where they aren’t suffering.
They’ve been exporting their suffering to Ukraine the last few years as well.
Meanwhile if you load Baofeng software from a few years ago antivirus software today will ping out. It never used to ping out, such is the nature of zero days.
Meanwhile Israel has been selling weapons grade hacking technology for decades, they’ve been directly linked to the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi as well as the Mexican cartels.
Meanwhile Argentina happens to be the hub for zero day exploits, with a bunch of hackers inventing their own shit and selling directly to state actors or whoever will pay.
The only way you can remain secure is to regularly install a fresh OS. Change my mind.
The only way to be truly secure is to throw your computer into the sea and return, naked and fearless, into the forest from whence we came.
But what about the bears?!?
What part of ‘fearless’ dont you understand?
I’ve got naked down pat.
I got that nickname because I used to wear No Fear shirts in High School.
Are they moon bears or saturn bears?
Change my mind.
In the end, if you are not of interest to a nation state hacker (or a member of a drug cartel) you have nothing to fear from the things you listed.
But that won;t change your mind.
(…) computer worm designed to spread from computer to computer through USB drives.
It absolutely works. My company spends a ton of time and resources in an attempt to prevent folks from plugging in random USB drives. Classes to user restrictions. Amazing how some folk are.
Of course, but OP wanted to implicate that this worm stays local in a network. You need an USB stick to carry it over.
I’m pretty sure the word you want is “imply.” Although what the Russians are doing with corrupt USBs is a crime, OP isn’t implicated in it.
Thanks for the lesson… haha
This is just about right :
in fact I wanted to know how we are exposed (or not exposed) to this. …to know what we have to do to limit exposure.
The company just doesn’t want me know what’s in these usb drives, surely.
Absurd! They could be missing out on so much potential profit!
Also, would this be the same group that hacked the Socchi Winter Olympics, soon after Russia was banned? The one that the US indicted and labelled as a “petulant child”?
Oh noes, my Macintosh is safe again!
You’re on lemmy but not using Linux?!?!!??! Wtf are you?! /s
Technically, I’ve got dozens of Linux servers. 😇
Nice joke 😋🤣 ! with the Macintosh. (since it is Windows, yes, you are protected).
… read it yesterday and today again and only now I got it. Well, I am quite slow on the uptake for jokes 😆.
