Pick your Poison - A Double-Edged Email Attack

A sophisticated cyber-attack has been identified by the Cofense Phishing Defense Center, combining phishing techniques targeting Office365 credentials with malware delivery. The campaign uses a file deletion reminder as bait, exploiting a legitimate file-sharing service to increase credibility. Users are led to a fake Microsoft login page or prompted to download malware disguised as a OneDrive installer. The attack employs ConnectWise RAT, a legitimate remote administration tool exploited for malicious purposes. The malware establishes persistence through system services and registry modifications, highlighting the need for enhanced user awareness and education to combat such dual-threat approaches.

"The Palestinian-led BDS movement, supported by Microsoft workers, calls on people of conscious to pressure Microsoft to end its complicity in Israeli apartheid and AI-powered genocide. To pressure Microsoft, boycott Microsoft’s consumer products whenever possible"

@heiseonlineenglish Microsoft are right about MS Office being "impractical and too expensive" (and that is not even the worst part about it). They got the solution wrong though. The practical and free and Free (as in freedom and opensource and privacy respecting) is something like LibreOffice → libreoffice.org/

@ulrichkelber Finde ich prinzipiell eine sehr gute Entscheidung!
Aber über #Office und #Kollaboration hinaus: Welche Alternativen zu #Microsoft #CoPilot plant @zendis im Bereich Generative #KI aufzubauen, zu betreiben und anzubieten und wie schnell? Mit einem kleinen Entwickler-Team wird das kaum zu schaffen sein.
Um bei unserer schleppenden Digitalisierung, sehr hohem bürokratischen Aufwand und viel zu geringer Personalstärke die notwendige Fahrt aufzunehmen wird eine reine Office- und Kollaborationsplattform nicht ausreichen. So kritisch ich die #KI Entwicklung derzeit sehe - ohne KI- und Agenten-Systeme bleiben wir in Deutschland bei der #Digitalisierung weiter im Hintertreffen - und somit international im Nachteil - zusätzlich zu unserem Föderalismusproblem. Daher müssen wir uns auch bei KI souverän aufstellen - aber dürfen natürlich auch hier keinesfalls auf Lösungen von US-Unternehmen setzen.

🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷
