  • The campaign is ongoing and Microsoft tracked emails “sent to thousands of targets in over 100 organizations.” The emails contained configuration files for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) that are connected to servers controlled by the hackers.

    Even security keys and point of sale devices could be affected by opening the RDP attachment. The access would allow hackers to install malware, map the victim’s network, install other tools and gain access to credentials.

    The campaign was particularly noteworthy because the use of RDP configuration files was a novel advancement in Midnight Blizzard’s tactics. Microsoft noted that both Amazon and the Government Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine have seen similar activity.

    I’m surprised that using RDP is novel for spear phishing, but Microsoft knows more about it than I do.





  • Lemmy is substantially less combative.

    That may depend on the community.

    I have the opposite experience. I mostly post in niche communities on Reddit, and I find I’m ignored or get positive replies. On Lemmy I get responses, but odds are even that the response is snarky or bitchy.

    I hope that will improve as the user base grows and we get more niche communities here.

    I really enjoy Sync.

    I was using Voyager until Sync got ported over to Lemmy. Voyager is great, but I find Sync more responsive. I also really appreciate Sync’s appearance customization. I’m old, so I like cranking the size of some text.

    I think there’s an ad supported version of Sync if you want to try it. I paid the CDN$10 or whatever it cost on release. It’s worth it to me.






  • Isn’t that link an ad for TunePat? It looks like a ripper that pulls tracks from Spotify.

    I’m facing the exact same problem. My guy isn’t used to computers yet, so I’m trying to figure out how to get music onto the device in a way that works for him. I’ll probably end up buying and copying stuff by hand. 😞

    It’d be great if there was a decent offline hardware option.
