Every time I very carefully avoid reading something that Jack Texeira released and instead learn another concerning bit of background information, alarm bells go off in my head of "Someone signed off on his clearance. They either missed this or pencil whipped that application."

As a former clearance holder, this makes me almost as cranky as Kushner just getting handed a clearance despite grave background check misgivings.

#stego as a C2 method. widely feared in the late 1990s, what's old is new again. sometime if you see me in person ask me about a funny stego story from the turn of the century.

PNG Steganography Hides Backdoor

Our fellow researchers from ESET published an article about previously undocumented tools infiltrating high-profile companies and local governments in Asia. The tools, active since at least 2020 are designed to steal data. ESET dubbed them Worok. ESET monitored a significant break in activity from May 5, 2021 to the beginning of 2022. Nevertheless, when Worok became active again, new targeted victims – including energy companies in Central Asia and public sector entities in Southeast Asia – were infected to steal data based on the types of the attacked companies.
