According to a DOJ press release, the FBI was able to delete the Chinese-used PlugX malware from “approximately 4,258 U.S.-based computers and networks.”

Details:

To retrieve information from and send commands to the hacked machines, the malware connects to a command-and-control server that is operated by the hacking group. According to the FBI, at least 45,000 IP addresses in the US had back-and-forths with the command-and-control server since September 2023.

It was that very server that allowed the FBI to finally kill this pesky bit of malicious software. First, they tapped the know-how of French intelligence agencies, which had recently discovered a technique for getting PlugX to self-destruct. Then, the FBI gained access to the hackers’ command-and-control server and used it to request all the IP addresses of machines that were actively infected by PlugX. Then it sent a command via the server that causes PlugX to delete itself from its victims’ computers.

The title is a bit blick-batey as it implies the FBI did it directly to said computers.

My Win10 work laptop has a network share of a remote windows server. I access it everyday. If i change passwords, i have to remap the share.

I have a linux vm that does the builds for my project. It too has a mounted directory mapped to that remote windows share, using my credentials.

I tried mapping the share in another linux vm but got errors so ended up quitting as it wasn't that important.

However, now i can't access said share in any device, by name or IP address. WTF happened?

The mount command i use in linux is mount -t cifs -o rw,relatime,vers=default,cache=strict,username=my.username,domain=,uid=118,noforceuid,gid=130,noforcegid,addr=10.10.10.10,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1 //10.10.10.10/dir1/dir2 /media/remoteshare, the UID/GID are of the user that runs the builds.

I'd get having errors on mounting the remote share, but i'd expect that to be limited to the local computer i was trying to mount on, not that it would propagate to any device that has this share mapped!

...surprising no one...

The second step, which we still need to evaluate because some companies want it, and others are more hesitant, is to allow Anatel to have access to the core routers to place a direct order on the router

Yet another case of just because you can...

I know that Android 14 requires targetSdkVersion >= 23 (or higher on the Play Store), but are there other minimums for this and minSdkVersion?
