  • The warning refers to Operation ShadowHammer, a sophisticated supply chain attack mounted in 2018 by Chinese state-sponsored hackers

    […]

    The attack was uncovered in January 2019 and Asus released a patch by March the same year.

    It was already patched ~7 years ago, but CISA only warns now?

    While over 1 million Asus users might have downloaded the backdoored utility, the hackers were reportedly interested in only around 600 specific devices, based on hashed MAC addresses hardcoded in various versions of the tool.

    Per Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01, federal agencies have three weeks to identify vulnerable products in their environments and address the issue.

    The hackers targeted this to 600 devices then waited 7 years and expected the targets won’t upgrade this app? This sounds strange, or I’m misunderstanding something.


















  • Thank.

    It’s useful to watermark your work on the internet, I was selling my old graphics card on a local website and a scammer downloaded my photos and uploaded to another local marketplace, if I would have put a watermark on my photo it could have stopped the scammer, and they would have to look for another photo. So it can make sense, sometimes even on small things, that’s why I asked why did you do that, maybe I’m overlooking something.

    But I don’t really see the point here, as the animation is not your work, the tweet is not your writing.
