Malware Campaign Uses Fake WordPress Plugin to Steal Credit Cards

A sophisticated malware campaign is skimming credit cards via a rogue WordPress plugin, using advanced stealth techniques to avoid detection and target checkout pages only.

Researchers from Wordfence discovered a modular malware family active since at least September 2023, employing obfuscation, developer tools detection, and form manipulation to steal payment and credential data. This malware disguises itself as a legitimate plugin, hosting a live backend on infected sites to manage stolen information and evade admins. The campaign’s evolving tactics highlight serious risks for e-commerce sites using WordPress.

A: Keep skimming! You’ll figure it out eventually, you cold reading ass.

[study-coffee-chicago]

Hey, so I'm starting school this week and I haven't been back in like a year. But I'm already starting to do notes with the textbook (so I can stay ahead) and I already feel like my note taking skills aren't going to cut it to have good grades this semester and was wondering if you had any tips on note taking or studying in general.

Thanks! Sincerly,

a jealous follower who sees your neatly done bullet journals and wishes the could do that!

As a grad student, I just learned how to skin a textbook, so it takes practice is all I’ll say about that. I’m splitting this up into two sections (1) How to skim textbooks and (2) how to take notes.

How to skim textbooks:

When skimming, always start by reading the conclusion. While reading that, write down what is mentioned in on a sticky note (ex. If it mentions a model of psychological assessment, write that down). After you’ve written down what is mentioned in the conclusion, go back and read the introduction to see if there’s anything important in there that wasn’t mentioned in the conclusion. If there is, add that to the sticky note. Then, go and read the sections about the things mentioned on the sticky note(s).

How to take notes:

Now that you’ve skimmed the text, you want to write down the important things. Usually, some things I always write down are definitions and then steps that are mentioned. Also anything you feel is important and is a main idea reading that thing.

So, for a note taking set up, usually I separate my notes by week and subject. (Ex. Neuroscience week 1, Psychopathology week 2, etc.) Specific headings are underlined and centered. Subheadings are underlined and left aligned on the page. Then, if I need to write down a definition, the word is in a different color and the definition is just in black. Things that are written down get a dash. Anything in relation to that point, gets a bullet and is indented, and anything related to that bullet gets another bullet that is also indented (same goes for numbering things). Then, I highlight anything mentioned in class as I try to read the textbook before I go to class.

I know this is probably confusing, so here’s a visual:

Header: (underline)

Word: definition of said word

Subheading: (underline)

-important info

• important info relating to the above point (or a steps, such as step 1)

< important info relating to the last bullet point or a sub point or extra step about the above point.

I hope this was helpful and let me know if you want further clarification!

Michiko skimming across the water once more

Commissions Open I have a Ko-Fi Social Medias Character (Michiko Hato) © @CentaurWorks Back in her high school days, Michiko use to be a cheerleader with the gift of being able to skim across the water like a dolphin. A feat most Melody-merfolks struggle with. Years of training and perfection lead her to making it look effortless... that was, until her high school boyfriend and a nasty breakup ruined her motivation. Fast forward to now, Michiko is now living on her own and on one night she decided to just try once more. Out of practice, she tries again, tho fails several times. Finally, Michiko was able to skim across the water. Even tho it wasn't as long as it use to be, it was still a step in the right direction in her mind. For the longest time, this has been an idea I've been wanting to do for years as I always had this idea in my head lore-wise for Michiko. To finally get around and work on this feels like a breathe of fresh air, and I'm so happy with the end result! I'm super happy with how Michiko's hair and expression came out! I ended up adding some sweat after getting refs from Demon Slayer and thought it would be a good fit. I'm very happy with the sky render but what I was the most unsure about was the water. I was worried about making sure the waves looked like she was skimming through it with light movement. After some advice, I added some changes and came out much better. To say I'm happy with it is an understatement.

Skimmer Fly By by Lutfi Shedraway Via Flickr: Skimmers have a distinctive flight style: usually very low to the water, with long upstrokes but short downstrokes to stay clear of the water. This creates a characteristic bounding or ranging style to the flight. They roam coastal beaches and islands near oceans or Gulf of Mexico. They are occasionally seen inland, especially in sites such as Merritt Island, Florida and Palm Beach County, Florida.

Hey... so there now appear to be AI-generated science articles on .org websites that are giving biologically incorrect "facts" on basic, for-children topics

The title is "Are There Freshwater Octopus Species?" which should be an incredibly straightforward thing to answer: No.

The article starts out decent:

"Despite their many fascinating features, there is no evidence to suggest that octopuses can survive in freshwater environments."

Cool. Okay. Next section.

"While most people associate octopuses with the ocean, there are some species that can survive in freshwater environments."

Wait. What?

"Freshwater octopuses belong to the genus Amphioctopus, which includes several species that are found in brackish water and estuaries. These cephalopods have adapted to life in freshwater environments and have been observed in rivers, streams, and even hydrothermal vents."

NO NO NO.

One species of freshwater octopus is Amphioctopus aegina...Another species, Amphioctopus marginatus...

THESE GUYS LIVE IN THE OCEAN. [Scrolls 2 more sections]

Freshwater octopuses are still a topic of debate among scientists. While some researchers claim that they do exist, others argue that there is not enough literature to support their existence.
