From Bing Search to Ransomware: Bumblebee and AdaptixC2 Deliver Akira

In July 2025, threat actors compromised organizations through SEO poisoning campaigns targeting users searching for legitimate IT management tools. Users downloading trojanized installers for ManageEngine OpManager received Bumblebee malware, granting initial access. The attackers exploited the fact that users executing these IT tools were privileged administrators, enabling rapid lateral movement to domain controllers. They dumped credentials using wbadmin, created backdoor accounts with enterprise admin privileges, and installed RustDesk for persistent access. AdaptixC2 beacons were deployed for command and control. The threat actors conducted extensive reconnaissance, dumped LSASS memory across multiple systems, attempted Veeam credential theft, and exfiltrated data via SFTP using FileZilla. The intrusion culminated in Akira ransomware deployment across both root and child domains within 44 hours, with subsequent re-encryption two days later affecting the child domain.

It’s cool af to be able to listen to MY MUSIC, legally acquired, streamed from MY SERVER (thanks #Navidrome, #FileZilla, and #MusicBrainz Picard) to a #FOSS app (Substreamer iOS).

Fuck you #Spotify, fuck you #BigTech.

#FileZilla 不允许除了浏览器以外的程序从它官网下载安装包，所以不能进 #winget
于是我下载了 #WinSCP

FileZilla is still a robust, powerful FTP/SFTP app after 24 years. It still impresses me.

Yesterday on my #LinuxJourney: couldn't get to work Double Commander's FTP plugin to autenthicate me with my SSH keys. Maybe the format of the public key was wrong, but why it even needs it, if neither Filezilla, nor SSH itself does. When I gave up on that pursuit, setting up Filezilla for 3 connections with different bookmarks was maybe 15 minutes total.

Also changed the icon of the "start" menu from Mint logo to a little heart. Didn't found a rainbow.

Estava a procurar maneiras de passar milheiros de fotos desde o telemóvel ao pc, mas já tenho instalado Amaze para a gestão de ficheiros e aprendi que podes passar o que queiras com FTP (eu uso FileZilla).

É bem doado https://linuxonfire.de/index.php/2019/08/11/using-amaze-file-manager-to-transfer-data-between-your-linux-pc-and-your-smartphone/

Wireshark .pcap vs .pcapng?

Short answer: .pcap is the older, simpler format with minimal metadata; .pcapng is the modern “next‑generation” format that supports multiple interfaces, comments, higher‑precision timestamps, and richer capture metadata.

By the way, #FileZilla is an FTP Application you can setup to feed the SCYTHE_HYPERGRAPH your tcpdumps / packet captures.
