Yeah, the browser we use online now is now very important. This is why I appreciate the Utopia developer team for creating Idyll browser for adequate secure and anonymous online browsing
The built-in browser of the UtopiaP2P ecosystem which is used to surf websites within the Utopia network. I like the browser built with the latest Tor browser.

The rate of internet theft increase is becoming alarming, and the emphasis on always protecting your self on the internet is now. Becoming a reality, the necessity also for project like Utopia p2p is also on the rise.
The high rate in the number of internet theft attacks is a sign that individuals who choose not to make use of privacy platforms now will have no one to blame but themselves after they have join the league of the victim of online theft.

Please read the news I posted very well because this was a total raid by about 5 government authorities from 5 different countries. How can you be sure that the shutdown by the government can be easily circumvented
#1956 Articles and News » Chinese hackers launch a cyberespionage attack using a Fortinet zero-d » 2023-03-18 21:35:58

- Replies: 0
A zero-day exploit linked to a now-patched moderate security vulnerability in Fortinet FortiOS is linked to a suspected Chinese hacker group.
Threat intelligence firm Mandiant, which made the attribution, said the set of actions was part of a broader campaign to backdoor Fortinet and VMware solutions and maintain constant access to victims' environments. The Google-owned threat intelligence and incident response company tracks malicious activity with its unclassified designation UNC3886, a threat actor with China.
"UNC3886 is an advanced cyber espionage group with unique capabilities in how they operate within their networks and the tools they use in their campaigns," Mandiant researchers said in a technical analysis. "UNC3886 has been observed targeting firewalls and virtualization technologies that lack EDR support. Their ability to manipulate firewall firmware and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities indicates that they have deep knowledge of such technologies."
Specifically, this adversary was previously associated with another hacking kit that targeted VMware ESXi and Linux vCenter servers as part of a hyperhashing campaign to eliminate backdoors such as VIRTUALPITA and VIRTUALPIE. Mandiant's latest disclosure came as Fortinet revealed that public bodies and large organizations fell victim to unidentified threat actors who exploited a zero-day flaw in Fortinet's FortiOS software to cause data loss and damage to the operating system and files.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-41328 (CVSS score: 6.5), involves a FortiOS path traversal bug that could lead to arbitrary code execution. This was fixed by Fortinet on March 7, 2023.
According to Mandiant, the UNC3886 attack targeted Fortinet's FortiGate, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer devices to deploy two different implants such as THINCRUST and CASTLETAP. In turn, this is possible due to the fact that the FortiManager unit is exposed to the Internet.
THINCRUST is a Python backdoor capable of executing arbitrary commands and reading and writing files to disk. The persistence provided by THINCRUST is then used to feed FortiManager scripts that exploit FortiOS path traversal vulnerabilities to overwrite legitimate files and modify firmware images.
This includes a newly added payload called "/bin/fgfm" (known as CASTLETAP) that signals the actor-controlled server to assume that it can execute commands, download payloads, and the incoming instruction moderator to would exfiltrate data on infected servers.

Nice article it was really helpful, like they say to catch a thief you ought to think like one. But there are many schemes this bad eggs creates everyday, but securing yourself isn’t as complicated as we make it, just follow the necessary guidelines.
Getting guidelines from a professional is one of the best ways to go far in every activity we participated in. You're right that hacker and theft always think outside the box and comes up with new ideas but avoiding human error with the inclusion of good guideline in the use of privacy tools is enough

It is good to anticipate the mobile application's official release but we also need to know that since there's no certain roadmap made for the mobile application release I don't think we need to know the due time of the application release since the technical aspect o the application seems concrete.

That's true and it is all because the Russian is enthusiasts of innovative technology and something that have to do with decentralization. I believe the Russian government would have legalized cryptocurrency if not for the current sanction.

Yeah, they are really good. Its shows how much they care about their customers and always put thier customer first. Allowing your customers to express themselves makes it easier to understand them and provide what they really want.
Well I think Utopia p2p sees us as a community and we are the community members rather than customers. The team has been up and doing in terms of making the Ecosystem very friendly for everyone.
Yes, they (the UtopiaP2P team) see us as community members not customers and I believe that's the reason why they create the UtopiaP2P project in a community-driven way to build trust among all the parties that make use of the Utopia project.

Euler Finance, an Ethereum-based lending protocol, was the victim of a deadly attack that resulted in the theft of over $175 million in assets.
Not only was this financially disastrous for the company, but it also had personal ramifications for its CEO, Michael Bentley.
Despite 10 audits in the two years before the incident, these measures do not appear to have prevented such a large breach.
It shows the limitations of smart contract auditing, whatever it has been and will continue to be. Audits are useful, but not enough if experienced and determined hackers want to take over a company.
The industry needs new ways to secure protocols, new risk management systems to protect assets from protocol eviction or instability to legitimate users.

I am not too interested in playing games on the Utopia ecosystem, i am more interested in stuff like CRP mining and the rest of them. But this link would be very beneficial because a lot of people have been asking questions about the Poker game on this thread, so maybe they can now ask some of their questions in the poker channel.

#1968 Re: Crypton Purchase, Sale and Exchange » LBank Exchange listed CRP » 2023-03-17 20:02:40
I don’t think LBank exchange is a decentralized exchange so if anyone is looking for a decentralized exchange to deal on via CRP Crypton then it’s wise to say that Crypton exchange is the best option.
LBank was founded in 2015 and it was said to be a global centralized exchange (CEX) platform but I like how the exchange manage to provide a good reputation.
Crypton Exchange is not a decentralized exchange. Decentralized exchange is P2P trading platform where cryptocurrency traders transact directly without entrusting the administration of their funds to an intermediary or custodian

We do need to make privacy our top priority in this 21st century but the lack of understanding of the benefit of privacy by some people is what makes them ignore the use of privacy and we have online theft to teach the benefit of privacy.
#1971 Articles and News » Chinese & Russian hackers employing SILKLOADER malware to avoid detect » 2023-03-16 23:45:29
- IyaJJJ
- Replies: 8
Threat operation clusters affiliated with Chinese and Russian cybercrime ecosystems have been discovered using new malware aimed to load Cobalt Strike onto infected machines.
Dubbed SILKLOADER by Finnish cybersecurity firm WithSecure, the malware uses DLL sideloading methods to deliver commercial adversary simulation software.
The development comes as improved detection capabilities against Cobalt Strike, a legitimate post-exploit tool used for Red Team operations, is forcing threat actors to look for alternative options or invent new ways to deploy the framework to evade detection.
“The most common of these involves adding complexity to automatically generated beacon or stager payloads through the use of packers, crypters, loaders, or similar techniques,” said WithSecure researchers.
SILLKLOADER joins other loaders such as the KoboldLoader, MagnetLoader and LithiumLoader which was recently found to contain Cobalt Strike components. It also shares overlaps with LithiumLoader as both use DLL side-loading method to hijack a legitimate application in order to run a separate, malicious Dynamic Link Library (DLL).
SILLKLOADER achieves this through specially crafted libvlc.dll files that are placed alongside a legitimate but renamed VLC media player binary file (Charmap.exe).
WithSecure said it identified the shellcode loader after analyzing "several human-operated intrusions" targeting various entities across a range of organizations in Brazil, France and Taiwan in Q4 2022.
While these attacks were unsuccessful, the activity is suspected to be a prelude to ransomware distributions, with tactics and tools that "heavily overlap" with those attributed to the operators of the Play ransomware.
In an attack against an unnamed French welfare organization, the threat gained a foothold on the network by using a compromised Fortinet SSL VPN appliance to host Cobalt Strike beacons. “The threat actor has had a foothold in this organization for several months,” WithSecure said. “During this time, they conducted discovery and credential theft activities, followed by the deployment of more Cobalt Strike beacons.”
But when that attempt failed, the adversary switched to using SILLKLOADER to evade detection and deliver the beacon payload.
SILKLOADER malware
It's not all. Another loader known as BAILLOADER, which is also used to distribute Cobalt Strike beacons, has been linked in recent months to attacks involving Quantum ransomware, GootLoader and the IcedID trojan.
BAILLOADER, for its part, is said to bear similarities to a crypter codenamed Tron which has been used by several adversaries to distribute Emotet, TrickBot, BazarLoader, IcedID, Conti ransomware and Cobalt Strike. This has led to the ability for different threat actors to share Cobalt Strike beacons, encryptors, and infrastructure provided by third parties to serve multiple intruders with different tactics.
In other words, SILKLOADER will likely be offered as a standard loader through a Packer-as-a-Service program for Russian-based threat actors.
"This loader will be provided either directly to ransomware groups or potentially through groups offering Cobalt Strike/Infrastructure-as-a-Service to trusted partners," WithSecure said.
"Most of these affiliates appear to have been part of or have had close working relationships with the Conti group, its members, and offspring after its alleged shutdown."
SILKLOADER samples analyzed by the company show that early versions of the malware date back to the start of 2022, with the loader exclusively put to use in different attacks targeting victims in China and Hong Kong.
The shift from East Asian targets to other countries such as Brazil and France is believed to have occurred around July 2022, after which all SILKLOADER-related incidents have been attributed to Russian cybercriminal actors.
This has further given way to a hypothesis that "SILKLOADER was originally written by threat actors acting within the Chinese cybercriminal ecosystem" and that the "loader was used by the threat actors within this nexus at least as early as May 2022 till July 2022."
"The builder or source code was later acquired by a threat actor within the Russian cybercriminal ecosystem between July 2022 and September 2022," WithSecure said, adding, "the original Chinese author sold the loader to a Russian threat actor once they no longer had any use for it."
Both SILKLOADER and BAILLOADER are just the latest examples of threat actors refining and retooling their approaches to stay ahead of the detection curve.
"As the cybercriminal ecosystem becomes more and more modularized via service offerings, it is no longer possible to attribute attacks to threat groups simply by
linking them to specific components within their attacks," WithSecure researchers concluded.
