Ukrainian military targeted in new Signal spear-phishing attacks

Ukraine's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-UA) is warning about highly targeted attacks employing compromised Signal accounts to send malware to employees of defense industry firms and members of the country's army forces.

The bulletin mentions that the attacks started this month, with Signal messages containing archives posing as meeting reports.

The archive contains a PDF and an executable file, the first acting as a lure for victims to open and trigger the launching of the second.

Roku is forcing users to watch ads before they can use their TV in ‘test’

Owners of smart TVs and streaming sticks running Roku OS are already subject to video advertisements on the home screen, and now they are getting forced to watch ads before they can even access the home screen.

Some people might not be as receptive to more obtrusive ad formats if they have grown accustomed to seeing a static image on an ignored area of their screen. One Redditor commented,

I could accept the static ad on the side. Forcing a loud commercial is awful.

Although Roku already has advertisements on the home screen and in its screensaver, autoplaying advertisements when the TV is turned on is a novel and quite hostile practice.

RISC-V support is no more in Chimera Linux. 😳

https://news.itsfoss.com/chimera-linux-drops-risc-v/

Anyone have an opinion about Start9 or would you just build your own version of this type of sovereign computing? https://start9.com/

Garmin also has devices that connect to satellites. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/c/outdoor-recreation/satellite-communicators/

I would still prefer "winutil" from Chris Titus in combination with Shutup10++

⚡️Charging Your Water with Water Smacker
@takebackourtech

At the Conscious Life Expo in LA, I had the chance to speak with Andrew Makky of Hydrogen Garage about the Water Smacker—a fascinating device that charges water with non-hertzian energy from space.

This static, lightning-like energy, also called ether or orgone energy, builds up over a few days, creating highly energized water.

Why would you want to drink this charged water? Learn more about the science and potential benefits in our conversation.
