Dein Smartphone. Deine Regeln?
Immer weniger.

Was passiert, wenn selbst einfache Dinge plötzlich nicht mehr erlaubt sind, obwohl das Gerät dir gehört? Genau das zeigt eine spannende Geschichte, die mehr über unsere digitale Zukunft verrät, als uns lieb sein kann.

TA416 resumes European government espionage campaigns

Since mid-2025, China-aligned threat actor TA416 has resumed targeting European government and diplomatic organizations after a two-year operational shift to Southeast Asia. The campaigns primarily focused on diplomatic missions to the EU and NATO, using web bug reconnaissance and malware delivery through compromised accounts and attacker-controlled infrastructure. In March 2026, TA416 expanded operations to Middle Eastern diplomatic entities following the Iran conflict outbreak. Throughout this period, the actor continuously evolved infection chains, utilizing fake Cloudflare Turnstile pages, OAuth redirect abuse, and C# project files to deliver a customized PlugX backdoor via DLL sideloading. The group employed both broad reconnaissance campaigns and targeted malware delivery, demonstrating sophisticated tradecraft including use of re-registered legitimate domains and cloud infrastructure for command and control operations.

Oh, and by the way, #Google will soon make #sideloading apps on #Android absurdly difficult. Here is the flow you will have to follow to enable sideloading (on apps that have not paid a fee to Google only!)

It involves rebooting your phone and waiting 24 hours! And they pretend it's for security? Well, Google Play Protect already scans sideloaded app so they can just improve that instead of blocking the install of apps not from their store!

...Unless it's for the control, and the money, right Google?

Anyways, a good moment to degoogle your phone, install a custom rom!

If you don't like the direction things are going, these links can be useful! You can also boot so more people see!

Android’s openness is at risk.

A proposed system could require developers to register with Google before users can install apps—undermining sideloading and user control.
