BPFDoor Malware Uses BPF to Evade Detection and Control Linux Servers
BPFDoor is a stealthy, advanced backdoor malware that targets Linux systems by
abusing a powerful technology known as BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter). BPF is
normally used in cybersecurity tools for monitoring and filtering network traffic
efficiently, especially in cloud, telecom, finance, and container based
environments. It's also used by tools like Cilium, Falco, and Tracee for visibility
and threat detection. However, when used maliciously, BPF gives attackers the
ability to bypass firewalls and hide inside systems, making BPFDoor very hard
to detect.

Ghost in the Router: China-Nexus Espionage Actor UNC3886 Targets Juniper Routers
Mandiant discovered China-nexus espionage group UNC3886 deploying custom backdoors on Juniper Networks' Junos OS routers in mid-2024. The actor used TINYSHELL-based backdoors with various capabilities, including active and passive functions and log disabling. UNC3886 demonstrated advanced system knowledge, bypassing Junos OS security measures and injecting malicious code into legitimate processes. The group focused on maintaining long-term network access, targeting defense, technology, and telecommunication organizations in the US and Asia. This activity highlights the ongoing threat of China-nexus actors compromising networking infrastructure with sophisticated malware ecosystems.

Federal Consumer Protection Is Dead. The Fate Of Net Neutrality Warned You It Was Coming.
I've had a #Skype account that I'll hardly used for YEARS & just received a notice from #MSFT that they are "retiring" it & transitioning Skype subscribers to #MicrosoftTeams, whatever that is.
Since I'm not a #TeamPlayer, I'm not going to make the transition but I've got a $9.09 credit that I've got to use before they retire it.
-------------------------------------
Dear Skype user,
In order to streamline our free consumer communications offerings, we will be retiring Skype on May 5, 2025to focus on Microsoft Teams, our modern communications and collaboration hub.
Teams helps people stay connected and engaged at work and at home. Teams users have access to many of the same core features as Skype, including 1:1 calls, group calls, messaging, and file sharing. Additionally, Teams offers enhanced features like hosting meetings, managing calendars, and building and joining communities—all for free.
