FUTURISM.COMThe CEO of Bluesky's Actual Name Means "Blue Sky" in ChineseIt was meant to be.Prophecy ForetoldTwitter alternative Bluesky has skyrocketed in popularity ever since Donald Trump was reelected as US president earlier this month. Over the last week alone, its user base doubled to 15 million users,then blew past 19.5 million.The small team behind the operation is racing to keep up with the serious influx."We as a team take pride in our ability to scale quickly," CEO Jay Graber told the New York Times in an interview. "But theres always some growing pains."Interestingly, Graber was practically destined for the job. Her mother, who grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and moved to the United States in the 1980s, named her "Lantian" in Mandarin which literally translates to "blue sky."Bluer SkiesIn a Forbes profile last year, Graber recalled that her mother called her Lantian "because she wanted me to have boundless freedom. The opportunities she didn't have."The 33-year-old tech exec was already part of Bluesky's developer team when Parag Agrawal, who would go on to become the CEO of Twitter before getting fired by new owner Elon Musk, offered her the opportunity to lead the microblogging platform in 2021.The company, however, wasn't named after Graber. Bluesky founder Jack Dorsey, who also started Twitter, originally came up with the moniker in 2019,two years before Graber came on board.The social media landscape has gone through some tremendous changes since Graber took over the reins. Perhaps the biggest wildcard came when mercurial businessman Elon Musk acquired Twitter for a whopping $44 billion, quickly turning it into a largely unrecognizable echo chamber of hate speech and disinformation.Especially now that Musk has thrown his full weight behind president-elect Donald Trump, an unprecedented number of users are looking for new stomping grounds, including Bluesky.The exodus hit its peak the day after the presidential election, with more than 116,000 people deactivating their X accounts in the US, setting a new record.Meanwhile, Bluesky feels more vibrant than ever before.For her part, Graber has prioritized coming up with new features that actually further the interest of average users, like sorting new content using custom algorithms a far cry from X, where Musk has instructed staff to prioritize his own tweets and conservative content.Even when it comes to generative AI, Bluesky appears to be putting the interest of users first, with the company promising on Friday that it wouldn't leverage users' content to train large language models. That's a stark contrast to X, which went behind users' backs to reserve the right to use their tweets to train AI models whether they opt out or not."The state of most social platforms right now is that users are locked in and developers are locked out," Graber told the NYT. "We want to build something that makes sure users have the freedom to move and developers have the freedom to build."Share This Article0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 39 مشاهدة

FUTURISM.COMScientists Say Aliens May Be Hiding in the Multiverse"We may not live in the most likely of universes."Into the SETIverseScientists suggest that the reason why we have yet to find aliens could be that they're hiding in a parallel universe.As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a team led by Durham University astrophysicist Daniele Sorini devised a new take on the Drake equation.The equation was formulated by astronomer Frank Drake in the 1960s to estimate the number of active and detectable alien civilizations in our galaxy. It takes a number of factors into consideration, including the average rate of star formation, the potential number of habitable planets, and the proportion of them that could develop intelligent life.Sorini and his team, however, suggest reframing the equation by considering the possibility of parallel universes that may be more likely to host intelligent life than our own a galaxy-brained concept that could help explain why we have yet to make first contact.Darkest TimelineSorini's team suggests that some universes would have a more optimal density of dark energy, the mysterious stuff that scientists believe is driving the accelerated expansion of the universe.Specifically, they found that a universe where the density of dark energy allows for 27 percent of ordinary matter to be turned into stars would be most likely to allow for alien life to develop. That's compared to just 23 percent in our universe, meaning our universe is at a disadvantage for developing life."Surprisingly,"Sorini said in a statement about the paper, "we found that even a significantly higher dark energy density would still be compatible with life, suggesting we may not live in the most likely of universes,"Sure, the idea that aliens are hiding out in the multiverse is preposterous on its face, like the premise to a last-ditch Marvel sequel. But Sorini and his collaborators frame it as an effort to reconcile the more exotic implications of modern physics with the search for life beyond Earth and you have to admit that, at the very least, it's a fun idea."Understanding dark energy and the impact on our universe"It will be exciting to employ the model to explore the emergence of life across different universes and see whether some fundamental questions we ask ourselves about our own universe must be reinterpreted," coauthor and Universit de Genve cosmology professor Lucas Lombriser added.More on the multiverse: Dark Matter May Be a Deformed Mirror Universe, Scientists SayShare This Article0 التعليقات 0 المشاركات 40 مشاهدة

THEHACKERNEWS.COMChinese Hackers Exploit T-Mobile and Other U.S. Telecoms in Broader Espionage CampaignNov 19, 2024Ravie LakshmananCyber Espionage / Data BreachU.S. telecoms giant T-Mobile has confirmed that it was also among the companies that were targeted by Chinese threat actors to gain access to valuable information.The adversaries, tracked as Salt Typhoon, breached the company as part of a "monthslong campaign" designed to harvest cellphone communications of "high-value intelligence targets." It's not clear what information was taken, if any, during the malicious activity."T-Mobile is closely monitoring this industry-wide attack, and at this time, T-Mobile systems and data have not been impacted in any significant way, and we have no evidence of impacts to customer information," a spokesperson for the company was quoted as saying to The Wall Street Journal. "We will continue to monitor this closely, working with industry peers and the relevant authorities."With the latest development, T-Mobile has joined a list of major organizations like AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies that have been singled out as part of what appears to be a full-blown cyber espionage campaign.So far, the reports make no mention of the degree to which these attacks saw success, whether any kind of malware was installed, or what kinds of information they were after. Salt Typhoon's unauthorized access to Americans' cellular data records was previously disclosed by Politico.Last week, the U.S. government said its ongoing investigation into the targeting of commercial telecommunications infrastructure revealed a "broad and significant" hack orchestrated by the People's Republic of China (PRC)."PRC-affiliated actors have compromised networks at multiple telecommunications companies to enable the theft of customer call records data, the compromise of private communications of a limited number of individuals who are primarily involved in government or political activity, and the copying of certain information that was subject to U.S. law enforcement requests pursuant to court orders," it said.It further warned that the extent and scope of these compromises could grow as the probe continues.Salt Typhoon, which is also known as Earth Estries, FamousSparrow, GhostEmperor, and UNC2286, is said to have been active since at least 2020, according to Trend Micro. In August 2023, the spy crew was linked to a series of attacks aimed at government and technology industries based in the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, South Africa, Germany, and the U.S.Analysis shows that the threat actors have methodically crafted their payloads and made use of an interesting combination of legitimate and bespoke tools and techniques to bypass defenses and maintain access to their targets."Earth Estries maintains persistence by continuously updating its tools and employs backdoors for lateral movement and credential theft," Trend Micro researchers Ted Lee, Leon M Chang, and Lenart Bermejo said in an exhaustive analysis published earlier this month."Data collection and exfiltration are performed using TrillClient, while tools like cURL are used for sending information to anonymized file-sharing services, employing proxies to hide backdoor traffic."The cybersecurity company said it observed two distinct attack chains employed by the group, indicating the tradecraft that Salt Typhoon has in its arsenal is broad as it's varied. Initial access to target networks is facilitated by exploiting vulnerabilities in outside-facing services or remote management utilities.In one set of attacks, the threat actor has been found taking advantage of vulnerable or misconfigured QConvergeConsole installations to deliver malware such as Cobalt Strike, a custom Go-based stealer called TrillClient, and backdoors like HemiGate and Crowdoor, a variant of SparrowDoor which has been previously put to use by another China-linked group called Tropic Trooper.Some of the other techniques include the use of PSExec to laterally install its backdoors and tools, and TrillClient to collect user credentials from web browser user-profiles and exfiltrate them to an attacker-controlled Gmail account via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to further its objectives.The second infection sequence, in contrast, is a lot more sophisticated, with the threat actors abusing susceptible Microsoft Exchange servers to implant the China Chopper web shell, which is then used to deliver Cobalt Strike, Zingdoor, and Snappybee (aka Deed RAT), a suspected successor to the ShadowPad malware."Delivery of these additional backdoors and tools is done either via a [command-and-control] server or by using cURL to download them from attacker-controlled servers," the researchers said. "These backdoor installations are also periodically replaced and updated.""The collection of documents of interest are done via RAR and are exfiltrated using cURL, with the data being sent to anonymized file sharing services."Also utilized in the attacks are programs like NinjaCopy to extract credentials and PortScan for network discovery and mapping. Persistence on the host is accomplished by means of scheduled tasks.In one case, Salt Typhoon is also believed to have repurposed a victim's proxy server to forward traffic to the actual command-and-control (C2) server in an attempt to conceal the malicious traffic.Trend Micro noted that one of the infected machines also harbored two additional backdoors named Cryptmerlin, which executes additional commands issued by a C2 server, and FuxosDoor, an Internet Information Services (IIS) implant that's deployed on a compromised Exchange Server and is also designed to run commands using cmd.exe."Our analysis of Earth Estries' persistent TTPs in prolonged cyber operations reveals a sophisticated and adaptable threat actor that employs various tools and backdoors, demonstrating not only technical capabilities, but also a strategic approach to maintaining access and control within compromised environments," the researchers said."Throughout their campaigns, Earth Estries has displayed a keen understanding of their target environments, by continually identifying exposed layers for re-entry. By using a combination of established tools and custom backdoors, they have created a multi-layered attack strategy that is difficult to detect and mitigate."Found this article interesting?

THEHACKERNEWS.COMWarning: VMware vCenter and Kemp LoadMaster Flaws Under Active ExploitationNov 19, 2024Ravie LakshmananVulnerability / Data SecurityNow-patched security flaws impacting Progress Kemp LoadMaster and VMware vCenter Server have come under active exploitation in the wild, it has emerged.The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Monday added CVE-2024-1212 (CVSS score: 10.0), a maximum-severity security vulnerability in Progress Kemp LoadMaster to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. It was addressed by Progress Software back in February 2024."Progress Kemp LoadMaster contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access the system through the LoadMaster management interface, enabling arbitrary system command execution," the agency said.Rhino Security Labs, which discovered and reported the flaw, said successful exploitation enables command execution on LoadMaster should an attacker have access to the administrator web user interface, granting them full access to the load balancer.CISA's addition of CVE-2024-1212 coincides with a warning from Broadcom that attackers are now exploiting two security flaws in the VMware vCenter Server, which were demonstrated at the Matrix Cup cybersecurity competition held in China earlier this year.The flaws, CVE-2024-38812 (CVSS score: 9.8) and CVE-2024-38813 (CVSS score: 7.5), were originally resolved in September 2024, although the company rolled out fixes for the former a second-time last month, stating the previous patches "did not fully address" the problem.CVE-2024-38812 - A heap-overflow vulnerability in the implementation of the DCERPC protocol that could permit a malicious actor with network access to obtain remote code execution CVE-2024-38813 - A privilege escalation vulnerability that could permit a malicious actor with network access to escalate privileges to rootWhile there are currently no details on the observed exploitation of these vulnerabilities in real-world attacks, CISA is recommending that Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies remediate CVE-2024-1212 by December 9, 2024, to secure their networks.The development comes days after Sophos revealed that cybercrime actors are actively weaponizing a critical flaw in Veeam Backup & Replication (CVE-2024-40711, CVSS score: 9.8) to deploy a previously undocumented ransomware called Frag.Found this article interesting?

SCREENCRUSH.COMDan Aykroyd Says Original Ghostbusters Cast Is Likely RetiredIt appears that we have seen the last of the old schoolGhostbusters on the big screen.Thats according to Dan Aykoyd, who co-created the franchise with the late Harold Ramis, and who appeared in the movies as Ghostbuster Ray Stanz. Speaking to theNew York Postabout his new TV showThe UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd, the 72-year-old writer/star/vodka maven said that he believed the cast would not return for a fifth movie any time soon.I dont see that coming, he said in response to a question about whether he and GhostbustersstarBill Murray would appear in future installments.He added...I dont see where they would need us to carry it on ...

Then Reitman, Ramis, and Aykroyd spent years trying to get a thirdGhostbusters movie off the ground. It took decades for it to happen (and in the meantime, Paul Feig made a contentious reboot of the property, featuring a new cast of female comic stars like Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy).When the third film finally got made in 2021, Reitmans son Jason Reitman took over the helm and mostly brought in a new cast, including Carrie Coon as Ramis characters daughter, and Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace as her kids. The surviving Ghostbustersactors appeared in cameos at the end of the movie, and then they returned in larger roles for 2024sGhostbusters: Frozen Empire.In that film (directed by Gil Kenan, with Jason Reitman now serving as co-writer/producer), Coons family, plus Paul Rudd as their science teacher buddy, become New Yorks new Ghostbusters; Aykroyd, Murray, Hudson as well as Annie Potts, the Ghostbusters former secretary Janine, allshowed up in a few scenes to help them with their latest case.While all the O.G. stars survived Frozen Empiresbig final fight with an ice-related ghost, the movie also firmly established Coon, Rudd, and the rest of the new cast as the focal point of the franchise moving forward.If it moves forward;Frozen Empireonly grossed about $200 million worldwide against a reported budget of $100 million. Whether thats good enough to get another sequel made remains to be seen.In the meantime, Reitman and Kenan are currently developing a newGhostbusters animated series for Netflix.
