Egypt buys half a million tonnes of wheat from India:
[IAF: This purchase was pending before India announced their ban — will be interesting to see price point.]
Egypt has four months' worth of strategic at reserves and six months of vegetable oils, the country's prime minister said earlier in the day.
Egypt, one of the world's biggest wheat importers, is looking for alternatives to Black Sea grain exports which face disruptions caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, both major wheat exporters to Egypt.

Stealth Soldier Backdoor Used in Targeted Espionage Attacks in North Africa - Check Point Research – June 2023
Phishing attacks using third-party applications against Egyptian civil society organizations - Amnesty International – 2019

Check Point Research observed a wave of highly-targeted espionage attacks in Libya that utilize a new custom modular backdoor.
Stealth Soldier malware is an undocumented backdoor that primarily operates surveillance functions such as file exfiltration, screen and microphone recording, keystroke logging and stealing browser information.
The Stealth Soldier infrastructure has some overlaps with infrastructure the The Eye on the Nile which operated against Egyptian civilian society in 2019. This is the first possible re-appearance of this threat actor since then.

What happened at Egypt’s Rabaa Massacre? - 10 years on from the deadly crackdowns
It has been a decade since Egyptian security forces violently dispersed pro-democracy demonstrators at Cairo’s Rabaa Square on 14 August 2013, killing 817 people.
Authorities used armoured military vehicles, tear gas, live ammunition and snipers on tens of thousands of largely peaceful protestors, in what investigations and rights groups like Human Rights Watch concluded was “systematic, premeditated killings”.
To this day, no military or government personnel has been held accountable for the deaths.
We take you through the events of that Rabaa massacre, including why Human Rights Watch said that the actions of Egyptian security forces “likely constituted a crime against humanity”.

PREDATOR IN THE WIRES: Ahmed Eltantawy Targeted with Predator Spyware After Announcing Presidential Ambitions | The Citizen Lab –
#Predator #Cytrox #Egypt
Between May and September 2023, former Egyptian MP Ahmed Eltantawy was targeted with Cytrox’s Predator spyware via links sent on SMS and WhatsApp. The targeting took place after Eltantawy publicly stated his plans to run for President in the 2024 Egyptian elections
.In August and September 2023, Eltantawy’s Vodafone Egypt mobile connection was persistently selected for targeting via network injection; when Eltantawy visited certain websites not using HTTPS, a device installed at the border of Vodafone Egypt’s network automatically redirected him to a malicious website to infect his phone with Cytrox’s Predator spyware.

🇪🇬🇮🇱🇵🇸 Footage of Egyptian trucks delivering humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip has emerged. A total of 20 units of equipment are expected to be delivered. However, based on this video, it appears that the volumes may be one and a half to two times larger than those of regular trucks.

Time for Palestine to Claim Its Stolen Gas
Palestinians are deprived of basic living condition rights (electricity, fuel, food and medicine shortages) by their Israeli occupiers, they would be foolhardy to ignore the game-changing potential of gas extraction off their own coastline.
It was announced in Cairo that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) had been signed to export #Israeli (stolen Palestinian) #gas to the European Union (EU) through Egypt.
The #MoU, which Israel and the EU described as a “historic agreement,” extends over three years and is automatically renewable for two further years. It includes transporting gas from Israel to liquefaction stations in #Egypt, then shipping it to #EU, which imported 155 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas from Russia last year.
Europe is seeking among other sources “Israeli gas” to compensate for about 10 percent of this amount, while Israel for its part is eager to increase its production of natural #gas to 40 bcm (billion cubic meters) annually.

🇵🇸 Israel’s long-held plan to drive Gaza’s people into Sinai is now within reach – Declassified UK - Jonathan Cook
Behind the scenes, Israeli officials term their latest ethnic cleansing proposal a “Greater Gaza Plan”. Details first leaked in the Israeli media in 2014, although reports indicate that the origins date to 2007, when the Bush administration was apparently brought on board following Hamas’ election victory in Gaza a year earlier.
At the time, Israel’s secret plan relied on carrots more than sticks. The idea was to attach Gaza to Sinai, erasing the border between the two. Washington would help secure international funding for a free trade zone in Sinai.

🇪🇬🇯🇴🇵🇸 The Egyptian parliament met on October 19 and gave President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi the power to declare war against Israel, if necessary. Egypt and Israel have a peace treaty dating from 1979, which has been a success, proving that a neighboring Arab and Muslim country can share long-lasting peaceful relations with the Jewish State of Israel.
Egyptians have watched in horror at the scenes of death and destruction in Gaza as the Israeli government exacts its revenge on Hamas after the October 7 attack on Israel. With the promised Israeli ground invasion of Gaza beginning at any moment, it is expected to be a bloodbath among unarmed civilians.

Researchers spot new infrastructure likely used for Predator spyware
"New research from Recorded Future’s Insikt Group
#Predator #Cytrox #Intellexa
"New research from Recorded Future’s Insikt Group
examines newly discovered infrastructure related to the operators of Predator, a mercenary mobile spyware. This infrastructure is believed to be in use in at least eleven countries, including
#Angola, #Armenia, #Botswana, #Egypt, #Indonesia, #Kazakhstan, #Mongolia, #Oman, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia
(#KSA), and
#Trinidad and #Tobago. Notably, this is the first identification of Predator customers in
#Botswana and the
#Philippines. Despite being marketed for counterterrorism and law enforcement, Predator is often used against civil society, targeting journalists, politicians, and activists, with no specific victims or targets currently identified in this latest activity."

Arid Viper poisons Android apps with AridSpy | WeLiveSecurity

#Palestine #Egypt #AridSpy #Android
#Trojan #AridViper #APT
ESET researchers have identified five campaigns targeting Android users with trojanized apps. Most probably carried out by the Arid Viper APT group, these campaigns started in 2022 and three of them are still ongoing at the time of the publication of this blogpost. They deploy multistage Android spyware, which we named AridSpy, that downloads first- and second-stage payloads from its C&C server to assist it avoiding detection.
The malware is distributed through dedicated websites impersonating various messaging apps, a job opportunity app, and a Palestinian Civil Registry app. Often these are existing applications that had been trojanized by the addition of AridSpy’s malicious code.
