This is probably not the right community but I haven’t found a better one.
So I watched a video from Seytonic where he mentiond that some malware creates a windows link with the name of the usb on a usb. So I checked my usb because I remembered that I had to click 2 times on my usb to opened it. I found a link that contained cmd.exe and a name of a file next to it. Upload to the virustotal showed Raspberry Roblin worm.
I use Linux but my familly uses windows so I will have to go through all familly computers and remove the worm. Where can I find info how to remove this specific worm - Raspberry Roblin? On google I found a description about how the worm works but not specific files it creates and how to remove it.
The first page that shows up is microsoft.com and it says that windows defender detects the worm, but clearly it doesnt.
Edit: The worm was on one computer and it did not have windows defender installed. Seems like malware removed it and also disabled automatic updates. I installed MalwareBytes and sucessfully removed the worm :)

Yeah… No. Pick any other reputable company.
Edit: I think this paints the picture pretty clear… So worth adding to the discussion. Note the domains that are voting for this post vs not.
So we now who is on Lemmy.ml, got it
I think this is poor form, and I won’t be surprised or sad if your one-person instance gets defederated by other instances for this kind of behavior.
Activitypub information is public by design. Kbin users for instance can see this information openly. There’s nothing poor form here. My instance also isn’t 1 user. But whatever floats your boat.
Edit: It’s also well known…

As I said, we know all of this. You’re just repeating yourself.
I’m sorry, where did I repeat anything?
This would be the first time in this thread I’ve said anything about it.
If “we all know this” then why state “I think this is poor form”?
Who’s de-federating kbin then? Nobody? Well then…
Any serious security expert is not a Russophobe and regards Kaspersky as the best commercial tool provider and company for malware analysis, based on merit and not on nationality. Kaspersky also does annual global malware reports. You are not one of those serious security people.
I do not trust Bitdefender, the second best, because it has relatively very high false positive rate. Unlike brainwormed western nationalists, I focus on merit of the tool, as will any serious security enthusiast.
Edit: also since you are concerned with my edit, yes CIA uses metadata to kill people, and I cannot trust CIA country origin products like Bitdefender. Also lol at abusing one man instance to try and be a snitch on people. This tells a lot about you.
Categorically wrong. One of the core focuses many security experts care about IS government overreach/interference. Governments are one of the leading pressures for software vulnerabilities/backdoors. Doesn’t matter that it’s Russian, because this isn’t a “Russophobe” stance. However, Russian and Chinese interference is usually on a much larger scale than other countries and typically has a much higher amount of scrutiny than other countries because of this fact. Due to those countries policies it’s hard to trust code that comes out of either country.

Isn’t it funny that many other Anti-viruses don’t seem to have these issues?
Case and point from other countries on the government pressure argument.

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2021-supermicro/
Many countries have these issues documented when interference happen. You know which ones don’t? The ones that you lemmy.ml shills usually defend. That’s not because they’re not doing it by the way.
Damn… And you’re a mod here? Anyone know of another community that is privacy focused and isn’t on lemmy.ml? A mod that doesn’t understand that closed source software with known ties to government entities is a problem.
Hell this isn’t even a “Dumb American” stance either (forget that I hold an eastern EU citizenship). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaspersky_bans_and_allegations_of_Russian_government_ties has a whole section of “Concerns raised by other governments”. Virtually all of the EU also has this concern with Kaspersky. Additional countries included… It’s at the very least ODD that a company has such ties to a government. And the sheer PARANOIA that all “serious security experts” hold would immediately bar most of them from using the software due to that fact alone.
Hell it’s even typical for a security professional to outright block ALL Russian and Chinese internet traffic for their platform. Just because it’s not worth the effort to deal with those countries and all the risks that come with them. But right! This must be “Russophobe” and no “serious security expert” has a problem. You’re full of it dude(tte).
News to me… I guess I should turn in my CISO position. Who’s going to tell the R1 college that I taught at for years? All those thousands of students, many of which still reach out to me regularly and have made it quite far in industry?.. Hmm… Oh and it’s not an “appeal to fallacy” or any other logical fallacy when it’s me defending my own status from a bullshit claim.
Edit: for any non-admin 3rd parties wondering who downvoted me… 100% of those votes at the moment is lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml. Take with that what you will. To me that screams “How dare you talk facts about the motherland” vibes.
Edit2: Oh they also edited their post to seem more normal… Their original post said
So basically ANY software not Russian, you seem to not trust. Claim it’s on merit… But only point out nationality. Don’t you find that odd that Russia can’t do no harm either? Even though other companies do not have as clear cut ties to their governments?
Edit3, after your edit:
Activitypub is open by nature, kbin users can see everything that I’ve published. There’s no abuse happening here. Nor is my instance just one person/user. But you do you man.
Yes, we know how Activitypub and kbin/mbin work.
Others seem to disagree.
My sincerest apologies: three user instance 🙄
That’s fine. You/them can disagree all you want. Just realize that they’re using it too. I just disagree with the default Lemmy stance that users can’t see something that everyone else on the fediverse(including moderators and admin on any federated instance) can. And if they want to defederate me for that. I’m not sure I care. I’ve been defederated from one instance so far… it’s not been a major loss and definitely doesn’t weigh on my conscience at all.
I have no interest in disclosing how many users are using my instance. They can post things if they want. That’s up to them. Many are just lurkers though.
This nonsense is largely invented by Democrats and people at Washington, to hide fascism of their own country from their own citizens. You parroting the state department propaganda is not a surprise, because many do it. Quoting CNET, Bloomberg and others makes a lot of sense.
Your stance looks pretty clear on this issue, since you also managed to quote a Democrat, and even claim:
I think you are giving yourself away here, more than an attempt to snitch on Lemmy instance users.
Yes I edited the post, but you also seem to abuse powers as an admin of your one man instance to see unedited content. Still, does not matter much because NATO/CIA country origin products are hard to trust because of what they openly say they do.
Also,
It is clear you are blindly parroting US State Dept crap, and doubling down on it. I think you will find peace at places like Reddit and CIA platforms, where there is no criticism allowed against NATO countries, considering you are from eastern Europe, part of Anglosphere. Lemmy might not be a good place for you, considering a lot of leftists exist here who are harder on NATO countries and their services.
Didn’t know my own analytics is Democrat/Washington run. I guess I should go yell at the people OPNsense (Suricata), WAZUH, and Crowdsec. They must be injecting false notifications about my networks being targetted by shit from Russia and Chinese owned IP space!
It’s an abuse of power to read the post that’s sent to my email? Well shit! Even for a moderator you seem to not even understand how lemmy works. Let me enlighten you. I got an email with your post in it because you responded to me. What an abuse of Administrative power! Forget that 100% of activitypub network is openly published and thus viewable by anyone… Ooops.
Lmfao… you reported my post… and likely blocked/“moderated” it on your instance. Don’t really care. To the point though, when 100% of downvotes on a comment is strictly from lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml instances. Yes, you’re shills, not a single opposing opinion between you. No discourse. No actual thought process occurring. Just “Russia/China good, rest world bad”. No nuance at all.
You also failed to address your stance that you published. Why is it that every other platform you originally listed was a problem where Kaspersky isn’t?
I have not blocked anything, but left it for admins and other mods to review it, since you have not done something too nasty to call for immediate action within this moment.
Your own little vote charter shows one dbzer0 user upvoting as well, so your claim is utterly false. It is not us who are hivemind shills, but you who is parroting US State Dept propaganda.
As for Chinese and Russian IPs being detected, guess what? A lot of westerners are fucking racist to the core, including you, who act sus the moment you see a .cn or .ru domain on the network filter. And that includes a lot of the netsec people who see this stuff. What if China and Russia started treating .us or .ca or such domains like this and demonise countries? It is you people who project the hate you possess onto others, and you even manage to be proud of it like an absolute idiot with no merit based judgement capabilities.
It is not a problem that you have enabled email notifications, but you went ahead and posted a vote charter publicly which is only visible to admins (talk about teaching how Lemmy works lol), and are now even talking about reporting comment, something you as a non-mod or non-admin should be unable to see, yet you do as you utilise your one man instance.
Let me correct it for you, since you seem to project a lot.
I did not fail. It is too clear to me how you are parroting US propaganda, even quoting a Democrat (Russia hater party) about it. What room is there for reasoning with a crow like you, shitting everywhere happily?
You are clearly a propagandist and should not be taken one bit seriously on security matters any more than the average YouTuber or Redditor. There are probably tens of thousands of hobbyists alone that are superior to you on places like r/netsec, let alone competing in professional space. Shitting on Kaspersky regarding security matters makes you look like the worst slurs I could summon for an incompetent clown.
A little consolation for you, since you seem so keen on hinging yourself to the idea - yes Chinese and Russian actors exist in cyber space, just like actors from USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy and elsewhere. Even North Korea. Cyber warfare is a real, nasty thing. And USA and Israel rule in this space. Facebook even mass deploys malware onto people’s devices via their fbcdn domain. But hey, Huawei, Tiktok, Alibaba, Tencent, QQ, Kaspersky, Yandex, VK, whatever west can, will demonise proudly. Tiktok ban by USA upon one Israel call and one McCain discussion tells a lot of what I need to know on how bad who is.
Wait a second! I though NO serious security people are Russophobe? Are you changing your story now?
You have the evaluation backwards… Outside people are coming to different consensuses based on opinions and experiences that’s normal… It’s lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml that don’t. I would EXPECT that results were mixed, but for your instance it never is. You seem to have missed the point.
They literally do. Have you not heard of the great firewall? The vast majority of the internet is unusable to China… and requires a VPN to access anything. Hell, I’d say the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml instances acting as hiveminds downvoting anything critical of Russia/China is also evidence of this. It’s OKAY to be critical of a government.
Not even close. I evaluate everything as I see it. You seem to be making a lot of assumptions here. Kaspersky has strong ties to the Russian government that is sufficient to warrant any “serious security” person to evaluate a different solution.
Yet bitdefender is a problem… And you can’t address why Kaspersky would be any different… Talk about parroting.
Crows (Corvid family) are the smart birds… You mean pigeon.
Edit: Actually come to think of it? Why the ravenous defense of Kaspersky at all? It’s just an anti-virus software no? Why does me disagreeing with the use of Kaspersky in this instance warrant “makes you look like the worst slurs I could summon for an incompetent clown.” Don’t you see how unreasonable you look? How you look like a frothing lunatic?
I told you, you are not one of those meritorious superior knowledge people. You do not fall in that Venn circle.
I can make a very easy guess who are these outside people. They support Ukraine while overlooking Stepan Bandera monuments, some even support Israel and most support Democrats and Joe Biden. You seem to overestimate the number of “outside people” based on how many of them are terminally online people in a specific portion of the internet.
That tells me how much you really are vested in understanding how shit works. China’s Great Firewall is a defense mechanism against the brainrot nonsense and bullying west does to China (also other “enemies”) every day since the past couple or so centuries. Ever saw Drums of Fu Manchu? Or that Bloomberg supermicro chip crap article you shared, which was debunked ages ago? US government annually funds media and ragwriters billions publicly to defame China, Russia and other “enemies” everyday. Well guess what the bullied kid in the classroom will do? Shut off and work on self. You support a really nasty, evil agenda.
Any serious, unbiased security person will refuse to discount Kaspersky and their global work on cybersecurity. And not many even touch what they accomplish. You are not a serious person in any capacity whatsoever.
Your nonsensical takes on Kaspersky and chest thumping do warrant that kind of reaction. Not even knowing what all Kaspersky does is fucking stupid. It tells me you only read about Kaspersky whatever the fuck you read on western tabloids and rags, and never on any forum or via unbiased cybersec people or outlets. Maybe you think there is nothing better about cybersec outside of west, which is as insecure as you can be.
I think you’re so far up the imperial core’s ass that you’re triggered by the least hint of nuance. If anyone’s a shill here, I think it’s you.
