A 2020 watering hole attack against iOS users employed the malware LightSpy, linked to the Chinese statesponsored APT41 gang.

The Core implant manages critical attack operations, such as gathering device fingerprints, communicating with C2 servers, and retrieving commands. In addition to selfupdating, LightSpy Core offers 24 commands. Plugins that are notable for their abilities to track locations, record microphone sounds even during calls, and steal WeChat Pay purchase histories are just a few. Researchers found active servers in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Russia to emphasise the continuous threat.

With a combined market share of between 60 and 70 per cent in the UKs cloud computing market, Amazon and Microsoft are prepared to request an antitrust inquiry into their strong positions.

A federal judges denial of the Securities and Exchange Commissions SEC request to appeal her ruling regarding Ripple Labs is a significant blow to the SECs control over the cryptocurrency market.

The conclusions regarding the "programmatic" sales and other distributions of XRP have been the subject of an appeal by the SEC. The court concluded that her finding did not conflict with a different ruling on Terraform Labs Terra USD token but did not find any significant reasons for dissent. The trial in the Ripple case is scheduled for April 23, 2024. Read More..
