  If you download and install untrusted code extensions, you’re screwed. Not like it’s rocket-science.

    As we push more average Windows users to Linux, we need to be prepared for these users to download and run completely untrusted code.

    So who can you trust?

      Yourself and the code you read and understand. So as long as you don’t use a system where this is possible (say 9Front and the like) you trust nothing and nobody, do careful backups and don’t go on a installation spree.

  Doesn’t say anything about the exploits. Just talks about a command and control suite.

    It very clearly states that there were mo exploits; the researchers stumbled across the undeployed C&C suite.

  With no indication that VoidLink is actively targeting machines, there’s no immediate action required by defenders, although they can obtain indicators of compromise from the Checkpoint blog post.

  Don’t click on the article. It’s an AI regurgitated summary and internet rot site.

  You’re welcome.

    Did you just call Ars Technica an “internet rot site”?

    Good way to make it obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about without saying you don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Do I need to repeat myself or is your skull too thick? Try using those links in a year from now Ars is literally an Arse of the tech industry.

    Considering Dan isn’t a bot and responds to comments in the forum, I suspect you have no clue what you’re talking about.

    The sourced research he cites is also not AI generated.

    Ars technica is usually legit.

  “The VoidLink interface is localized for Chinese-affiliated operators, an indication that it likely originates from a Chinese-affiliated development environment.”

  Baha, shit propaganda… Yes of cause it MUST be the Chinese ! I mean, it is impossible to fake an interface in another language, and we all know they are out to eat our children… sigh…

  And who says ? This is not better than the shit corps amazon, micro***p, etc, that are now identifying foreign ‘threats’ for the US Fascist regime. Who gave private corps the right to examine AND convict other nations - without any transparency or oversight - on a whim from their Boss.

  Get away from US *unts and their insane propaganda - ASAP !!

    Have you looked at the files? They were obviously generated in a Chinese-affiliated development environment, and the interface is designed for Chinese speakers. Which is exactly what they said. They very pointedly DIDN’T say that the malware was written by the Chinese government or one of their affiliates.

    It’s also not in the same style as the stuff generated by the various Chinese APT groups, so is likely by some third party with Chinese connections. It’s a very methodical and thorough collection, but it wasn’t discovered via an attack — the researchers stumbled across the test environment. And that’s not something that’s likely to be the case with state actor-related groups.
