Russian-Speaking Threat Actor Abuses Cloudflare & Telegram in Phishing Campaign

A Russian-speaking threat actor has launched a new phishing campaign using Cloudflare-branded pages themed around DMCA takedown notices. The attack abuses the ms-search protocol to deliver malicious LNK files disguised as PDFs. Once executed, the malware communicates with a Telegram bot to report the victim's IP address before connecting to Pyramid C2 servers. The campaign leverages Cloudflare Pages and Workers services to host phishing pages, and uses an open directory to store malicious files. The infection chain includes PowerShell and Python scripts, with incremental changes in tactics to evade detection. The actors' infrastructure spans multiple domains and IP addresses, primarily using Cloudflare's network.

Disappointing that academic journals still convert vector graphics to low-quality figures.

- Our accepted manuscript contains only vector graphics
- We shared our original vector files during final submission + proofing

Yet the final typeset version contains this fuzzy mess. 🤦‍♂️

Alrighty. Several hours later, and I have Tarrant County's updated early voting locations :D

Overpass-turbo query: overpass-turbo.eu/s/21qx

Actual location info from county (can match up the numbers on the map to addresses): tarrantcountytx.gov/content/da

And a reddit post in the FortWorth subreddit: reddit.com/r/FortWorth/comment

So far, I only have locations that serve (at least) as early voting centers. There are several more pages of day-of voting centers that I could conceivably add. I'm debating building a small, static, mobile website with #Leaflet to perhaps make a "show me my closest voting station" feature, and maybe a "schedule my voting time" feature that spits out an ical file or something. The opening hours are all there in the OSM data.

(Annoying sidenote: most college/university locations are either early vote only, election day only, or not open at all :()

I recently developed a thing to turn a Conversations chat* into a PDF.

codeberg.org/moji/typst-conver

That story began with a friend of mine that had got a XMPP group chat where they shared updates and pictures of their latest travel adventure. Now chat is rather ephemeral and they wanted to preserve those memories in an easy accessible format that is PDF. And so I put something together.

* actually any chat as long as you can get the raw data in the expected format
