“Labour defence secretary caught smearing university students at massive arms [industry] dinner”

by The Canary @thecanaryuk

@UKLabour

“Healey used his speech to criticise student campus protests over arms trade involvement in their universities. He stated that ‘We don’t stop wars by boycotting our defence industry. We stop wars by backing it’”

Als erstes super das es dieses Projekt gibt und man so kein #Tracking und #Ads mehr stattfinden. Beim ersten Besuch gleich Probleme im Querformat gehabt, werde ich wohl auf #Codeberg melden müssen. Interessant ist dass das Projekt ohne Cookies auskommt. Ansonsten wollen einige Open Source Programme auch gleich einen ganzen Haufen davon haben.


Every now and then, I listen to all the ads of a podcast episode.

Because the ads give some insight into who the assumed audience is.

Amex business credit card, an investment and wealth management firm, luxury European cruises?

Why, surely, it's the TED Radio hour, :blobcat:

Online therapy outfit Better Health, cheap phone plans, more podcasts?

Why, surely, lefty talk radio with a depressed broke audience, :blobwizard:

NodeStealer Malware targets Facebook Ad Accounts and harvesting Credit Card Data.

Threat hunters are warning about an updated version of the Python-based NodeStealer that's now equipped to extract more information from victims Facebook Ads Manager accounts and harvest credit card data stored in web browsers.

"They collect budget details of Facebook Ads Manager accounts of their victims, which might be a gateway for Facebook malvertisement," Netskope Threat Labs researcher Jan Michael Alcantara said in a report. "New techniques used by NodeStealer include using Windows Restart Manager to unlock browser database files, adding junk code and using a batch script to dynamically generate and execute the Python script."

NodeStealer, first publicly documented by Meta in May 2023, started off as JavaScript malware before evolving into a Python stealer capable of gathering data related to Facebook accounts in order to facilitate their takeover.

The latest analysis from Netskopke shows that NodeStealer artifacts have begun to target Facebook Ads Manager accounts that are used to manage ad campaigns across Facebook and Instagram, in addition to striking Facebook Business accounts.

"We recently found several Python NodeStealer samples that collect budget details of the account using Facebook Graph API," Michael Alcantara explained. "The samples initially generate an access token by logging into adsmanager.facebook[.]com using cookies collected on the victim's machine."

Aside from collecting the tokens and business-related information tied to those accounts, the malware includes a check that's explicitly designed to avoid infecting machines located in Vietnam as a way to evade law enforcement actions, further solidifying its origins.

On top of that, certain NodeStealer samples have been found to use the legitimate Windows Restart Manager to unlock SQLite database files that are possibly being used by other processes. This is done so in an attempt to siphon credit card data from various web browsers.

Data exfiltration is achieved using Telegram, underscoring that the messaging platform still continues to be a crucial vector for threat actors despite recent changes to its policy.

Malvertising via Facebook is a lucrative infection pathway, often impersonating trusted brands to disseminate all kinds of malware. This is evidenced by the emergence of a new campaign starting November 3, 2024, that has mimicked the Bitwarden password manager software through Facebook sponsored ads to install a rogue Google Chrome extension.

#FTC orders #Intuit to stop pushing "free" software that isn't really free
#ConsumerProtection #watchdog's investigated how Intuit promoted its #tax preparation software #TurboTax as being a "free" including deceptive #ads shown during Super Bowl and the 2022 NCAA Basketball Tournament.
However, the ads were misleading as millions of Americans couldn't use Turbotax to file their taxes for free over the years, finding that it was all just a waste of time https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/technology/ftc-orders-intuit-to-stop-pushing-free-software-that-isnt-really-free/
