Released v1.3.3. of #Yaralyzer, my surprisingly popular tool for visualizing YARA rule matches with colors (a lot of colors).
1. --export-png images lets you export images of the analysis
2. almost all command line options (including multi argument ones like --yara-rules-dir) can be permanently set via environment variables or .yaralyzer file
3. couple of small bug fixes and debugging related command line options
You can try it on the web here: https://yaratoolkit.securitybreak.io/
(I didn't build this website, Thomas Roccia from Microsoft just integrated Yaralyzer into his existing site)
- Github: https://github.com/michelcrypt4d4mus/yaralyzer
- Pypi: https://pypi.org/project/yaralyzer/
- on macOS you can also get it with #Homebrew by installing Pdfalyzer: brew install pdfalyzer

UK authorities have acknowledged a cyber incident involving a Foreign Office system, describing the risk to individuals as low and confirming that access was contained quickly.
The response underscores familiar challenges for public-sector security teams: early detection, rapid containment, careful attribution, and responsible communication while investigations continue.
From an InfoSec perspective, what stands out most - detection timing, risk assessment language, or disclosure strategy?

Released v1.17.0 of The Pdfalyzer, the surprisingly popular tool for analyzing (possibly malicious) PDFs I created after my own unpleasant experience. Now ships with two command line tools for extracting stuff from PDF files:
1. extract_text_from_pdfs() - brute force extract all text from a PDF, including doing an #OCR extraction of any embedded images
2. extract_pdf_pages() - rip a page range from a #PDF and write them to a new one

a russian hosting service that takes payment in crypto, Aeza Group, was just hit with #OFAC sanctions.
they've sent funds to a bunch of the shadiest crypto exchanges - #Cryptomus, #MEXC, #Binance, and (of course) #HTX, the crypto exchange run by the business partner of the president of the united states.
also looks like they took payment in #Tether, the #stablecoin whose money is managed by america's secretary of commerce howard lutnick.

TRM Labs released some analysis of the #Nobitex source code that was leaked by an Israeli team that hacked the company (Nobitex is the largest #cryptocurrency exchange in #Iran and probably the largest crypto exchange anywhere to take such an extreme approach to hiding its own tracks (and its users' tracks).
of course they also hardcoded a bunch of auth keys into the source code... so maybe they weren't *that* privacy focused. or maybe they decided to do some "outsourcing" of the dev team (lol).

#Arctic #warming could pose a threat to America’s #security too: #Alaska may have new vulnerabilities to both #China & #Russia; changes in #ocean salinity & temp might interfere w/ #submarine detection systems; extremes of climate change, including #permafrost thaw in Russia, may drive #economic #instability, social #unrest, & territorial claims. [#Trump #Intelligence Agencies excluded #ClimateChange from the annual #ThreatAssessment report for the first time in decades — too *woke*]
Well done Rep #JoaquinCastro!
During the #House #Intelligence Cmte hearing, #Castro asked #TulsiGabbard why #Venezuela was not included in the annual #ThreatAssessment Report. Castro cited #Trump’s invocation of the #AlienEnemiesAct to conduct #MassDeportations & Trump’s claim that he could invoke the #AEA because he believes we are at #war with Venezuela. Castro asked #Gabbard that if we are at war with a country how is it possible that they didn’t warrant entry in the assessment.
Senator #AngusKing, grilled #Gabbard on why #ClimateChange had been excluded for the first time in the #ThreatAssessment report.
Gabbard again said the only included the highest threats.
King rattled off the MANY effects of Climate Change that threaten security. Migration, famine, poverty, social & political tensions, etc.
Then he directly asked if she ordered that climate threats be excluded. She said no.
The reason 100% is #Trump’s war on “wokeism”
