When #Microsoft365 sends me an email telling me I have messages in quarantine, and I click on the button in the email to block the sender of one of the messages, it takes _22 seconds_ for the web page with the block button to load.
The first 8 seconds is #Checkpoint deciding it's safe to redirect through to #Microsoft.
Then #M365 takes 14 seconds to load the page.
This is what Checkpoint and Microsoft consider acceptable performance. 🤦

Stranger Strings: Yurei Ransomware Operator Toolkit Exposed

Active since September 2025, Yurei is a double extortion ransomware campaign. The operators run their own Tor data leak site with a low number of victims listed at the time of writing. It is reportedly derived from Prince Ransomware, an open-source ransomware family written in Go. Check Point researchers noted that all samples were first submitted to VirusTotal from Morocco, and that one sample did not include a ticket ID, indicating that this could be a test build, possibly uploaded by the developer themselves. Yurei ransomware samples also contained a link to SatanLockv2, based on the presence of the PDB path string “D:\satanlockv2” present in the Yurei samples.
