Zensec has a good article on the Akira ransomware group's tactics taken directly from their DFIR experience on 16 incidents. A few key take-aways:
- Initial Access: Please, please please patch your Internet-facing VPN and firewall devices including your Sonicwall, Cisco ASA and Watchguard devices.
- Patch our Veeam software. They used vulnerable Veeam installs to perform privilege escalation
- Block access to Anydesk.com and remotedesktop.google.com if you don't use…

I had to drive alone for a while and decided to listen to my own music and, surprisingly, I found it good (in its own weird, specific way).
If you like EBM and that kinda stuff, maybe have a listen. Perhaps you'll agree with me

Efficient black hole seed formation in low metallicity and dense stellar clusters with implications for JWST sources
Recent observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal young massive clusters (YMCs) as key building blocks of early galaxies. They are not only important constituents of galaxies, but also potential birthplaces of very massive stars (VMSs) and black hole (BH) seeds. We explore stellar dynamics in extremely dense clusters with initial half-mass densities of $ρ_h \gtrsim 10^8M_\odot{\rm pc}^{-3}$ at very low metallicity, comparable to some of the densest clusters seen by JWST. Us…

Anna-Karin Hatts avhopp borde vara en larmklocka. Det är dags för svenska politiker och makthavare i opinionssfären att agera.
Ett första enkelt steg finns: lämna X.

Data-driven Methods of Extracting Text Structure and Information Transfer
The Anna Karenina Principle (AKP) holds that success requires satisfying a small set of essential conditions, whereas failure takes diverse forms. We test AKP, its reverse, and two further patterns described as ordered and noisy across novels, online encyclopedias, research papers, and movies. Texts are represented as sequences of functional blocks, and convergence is assessed in transition order and position. Results show that structural principles vary by medium: novels follow reverse AKP in …
