Now rebloggable since we have wifi again for me to use my laptop to type the image descriptions!

beetle on grass

[ID: Five photos of a small, solid black beetle shaped like a ladybug, sitting on the stem of a small flowering grass. It is very shiny, with thin segmented antenna. It is shown from above showing its back, then the side, and with the grass tilted slightly to show its black segmented belly. End ID.]

webworms on black cherry

[ID: Two photos showing a webworm moth nest on a black cherry tree. The first photo is from further away, looking up into the tree, where the nest forms a thick white web between branches. The second zooms in, showing vertically black and yellow striped caterpillars all gathered in a cluster near the top. End ID.]

beetle on mulberry

[ID: Four photos of a long, thin dark brown or black beetle on the flowers of a mulberry tree. The first three photos are zoomed in, the last is further away. It seems to be solid very dark brown or black, with thin, medium length antenne. Its body is long and narrow. End ID.]

L'Italia ancora nel mirino degli hacker cinesi

Gli hacker Cinesi prendono di mira l’Italia. Il Malware 9002 RAT Colpisce Aziende ed Enti Governativi. Un gruppo di hacker legato alla Cina, chiamato APT17 ha colpito aziende ed enti governativi italiani utilizzando una variante di un malware denominato 9002 RAT. 9002 RAT, è noto anche come Hydraq e McRAT. Ha raggiunto la notorietà come cyber weapons nell’operazione Aurora che ha individuato Google nel 2009.

È stato successivamente utilizzato anche in un’altra campagna del 2013 denominata Sunshop in cui gli aggressori hanno iniettato reindirizzamenti dannosi in diversi siti Web.

APT17 è stato documentato per la prima volta da Mandiant (allora FireEye), di proprietà di Google, nel 2013. Hanno preso parte alle operazioni di spionaggio informatico denominate DeputyDog ed Ephemeral Hydra. Tali campagne sfruttavano falle zero-day in Internet Explorer di Microsoft per violare obiettivi di interesse. I due attacchi mirati hanno avuto luogo il 24 giugno e il 2 luglio 2024. Questa notizia è stata affermato dalla TG Soft in un’analisi pubblicata la scorsa settimana. “La prima campagna del 24 giugno 2024 ha utilizzato un documento Office, mentre la seconda campagna conteneva un collegamento. Entrambe le campagne invitavano la vittima a installare un pacchetto Skype for Business da un collegamento di un dominio.” È noto anche con i nomi di Aurora Panda, Bronze Keystone, Dogfish, Elderwood, Helium, Hidden Lynx e TEMP.Avengers, ma l’avversario condivide un certo livello di sovrapposizione di strumenti con un altro attore della minaccia soprannominato Webworm. Le ultime catene di attacchi prevedono l’uso di esche di spear-phishing per indurre i destinatari a cliccare su un collegamento. Tale collegamento li invita a scaricare un programma di installazione MSI per Skype for Business (“SkypeMeeting.msi”). L’avvio del pacchetto MSI innesca l’esecuzione di un file di archivio Java (JAR) tramite uno script Visual Basic (VBS). Quest installa al contempo il software di chat legittimo sul sistema Windows. L’applicazione Java, a sua volta, decifra ed esegue lo shellcode responsabile dell’avvio di 9002 RAT. Read the full article

I love the white moths! They are always so pretty! From what I've researched, this little guy seems to be a Fall Webworm Moth.

Anything about the fall webworm moth, perchance?

TODAY'S FACT IS

Did you know that the Fall Webworm Moth (Hyphantria cunea) is a moth that wraps trees in webs? The caterpillars feed on the leaves of the host tree and travel from leaf to leaf on its silk. These caterpillars are quite voracious so they quickly enweb their host.

Native to North America (Canada through Mexico) the caterpillars hatch late in the summer and are active through the fall season, giving them their name.

The adult moth is a beautiful, fluffy, white moth with brown/grey speckles on its wings.

Their web nests are thermoregulated, helping the larvae stay warmer as the weather cools and develop quicker.

Ailanthus Webworm Moth

[its-stimsca]

Stimboards of bugs I see outside #1: This male Fall Webworm Moth I found chillin on a big Aloe plant. Webworm moths are named after their caterpillars, which build webbed nests in trees and bushes. Despite being considered a pest, they’re not actually harmful to the plants they feed off of, and people just don’t like them because of the way their nests look in trees.
