⚠️ A “hacking tool” on Go isn’t what it seems.
The package pretends to brute-force SSH—but secretly sends stolen logins to a Telegram bot controlled by a Russian actor.
The package is still on pkg.go.dev.

On August 4th, 2025, APCS, Access Personal Checking Services, one of the largest organizations in the United Kingdom for performing "Disclosure and Barring Services" a/k/a background checks, determined its data has been compromised as a result of a 3rd party company named Intradev.
APCS works with over 19,000 organizations.
APCS is certified under the UK National Cyber Security Centre Cyber Essentials program.
APCS has stated the following:
- They don't know when it occured
- They don't know what was accessed
- They don't know if anything was exfiltrated
- They don't know the scope of the compromise
However, per the e-mail APCS has sent to customers, they believe data impacted includes:
- Basic personal information
- Passport
- Drivers License
- National Insurance details
APCS has asserted they're still investigating the matter.
BUT DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THIS. The United Kingdom NEEDS YOU to keep the kids safe by giving companies your drivers license and/or passport. They NEED to see your information so they can make sure you're sufficiently aged to view YouTube, Discord, Spotify, or Wikipedia. We NEED to keep the kids safe. Give these companies your sensitive information. It's totally safe.

Safetynet turndown, Safetynet attestion test errors · Issue #3034 · microg/GmsCore
Describe the bug Google announced long ago that Safetynet will be shutdown and replaced with PlayIntegrity, it appears that the servers that formerly responded to SN queries are now completely offl...
Just to add: The SafetyNet fail is not caused by changes in the beta version. It's just the servers being no longer available.
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1612681-google-deprecates-old-safetynet-api-in-favor-of-play-integrity-api/
You shouldn't have any disadvantages by this, since every app should have been migrated to PlayIntegrity by now. It wouldn't work on Google phones otherwise.
It's mainly a problem for older Android releases not supporting PlayIntegrity and for the attestation being harder to achieve, but any modern app like your banking most likely ran already on PlayIntegrity anyways.
