  1. Currently #analyzing a multistage payload #Wordpress malware, that is being #emailed to siteowners at the moment as a fix for a #cve ... basically it ends upp creating #remoteshell with root privs and have some utils to dump out #mysql, #postgre and #mssql #databases among other things.

    I'm amazed that they have not obfuscated this harder. The main script that is the wordpress plugin have some mangled function names, the payloads are just base64 and zlib and those files is not mangeeled.

  4. Will the media learn the right lesson from the Ronna McDaniel debacle?

    Sadly, #MSNBC #management couched the decision to drop #Ronna #McDaniel in a blizzard of corporate speak.

    (“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned … It has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”)

    Funny — the journalists who spoke up said McDaniel’s departure was required to
    🔸preserve their journalistic mission and the network’s credibility,
    🔸not out of any need for “alignment.”

    We can only hope that NBC and other news organizations take away something more than “don’t hire a MAGA mouthpiece”

    A few ideas:
    
• Create a #mission #statement that affirms your goals are telling the #truth and defending #democracy, which protects the First Amendment — not fake balance.
• #Stop #pretending four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump and his movement are presenting #alternative#policies” as a normal party would. They are fighting for an alternate system: authoritarianism.
• Politicians’ outright #lies must be identified, not just labeled as their “response” or “position.”
• Instead of obsessing over #polls, devote extensive coverage to #analyzing the Heritage Foundation’s “#Project2025” and Trump’s #fascist #agenda. Feature #historians and political #scientists during news segments (not only on panels) to put Trump’s views and statements in context.
• #Don’t excerpt a few words from a Trump rally or speech, dub it an “argument” and #ignore his mental short-circuits and #deteriorating #intellect.
