Harvester's Linux arsenal just got a boost with the deployment of the GoGra backdoor in South Asia, enabling the threat actor to sneak past traditional network defenses by hijacking legitimate Microsoft Graph API and Outlook mailboxes.

APT Group Expands Toolset With New GoGra Linux Backdoor

The Harvester APT group has developed a highly-evasive Linux version of its GoGra backdoor that leverages Microsoft Graph API and Outlook mailboxes as a covert command-and-control channel to bypass traditional network defenses. Initial VirusTotal submissions originated from India and Afghanistan, indicating these regions as primary targets. The attackers use social engineering with tailored decoy documents masquerading as legitimate files, including references to Indian food delivery services. The backdoor uses hardcoded Azure AD credentials to poll mailboxes every two seconds, executing commands received via email and exfiltrating results back to operators. Analysis confirms this Linux variant shares nearly identical code with a previously known Windows version, including matching spelling errors, demonstrating the group's multi-platform development strategy and continued expansion of capabilities targeting South Asia for espionage purposes.

Been traveling and took some shots while being stuck in traffic.
Kind of sustainability as well I guess, if you still use things even if they are a bit battered. Then again, looking at the traffic, any vehicle looks probably like that after 7 days.

Reiste umher und machte bei Staus einige Aufnahmen.
Sachen weiter zu nutzen, selbst wenn sie etwas verbeult sind, ist sicher auch eine Art Nachhaltigkeit. Wobei bei diesem Verkehr wohl jedes Fahrzeug nach 7 Tagen so aussieht.
