It's not every day the NSA publicly warns of attacks by Kremlin hackers – so take this critical Exim flaw seriously The NSA has raised the alarm over what it says is Russia's active exploitation of a remote-code execution flaw in Exim for which a patch exists. The American surveillance super-agency said [PDF] on Thursday the Kremlin's military intelligence hackers are actively targeting some systems vulnerable to CVE-2019-10149, a security …
do you want me to post the email embedded javascript obfuscated code that was included in an email from the BBC to a child of mine?, I attribute it to Gloucestershire.
Or I could add the mail-bomb script that the NSA embedded in a fake email to me "from the ITU"?
The Russian/GRU attack that I noticed was much more subtle, such that nobody seemed particularly interested - it involved a special offer on software, a slow social engineered creep of app permissions, to a full MITM - whilst pretending to be a cloud AV, over six months....
this information war stuff is very multilateral, read wider
Agreed. But it's even worse than that, it's very widespread these days, in fact, I'd say it's totally pervasive.
My default position now is that all email systems and cloud services have backdoors / hacked by 3/4 letter agencies. Even antivirus software. A very puzzling series of events during this month led me to the ultimation conclusion regarding the latter. I think anyone who disagrees is being naive.
And then there's firmware and bios hacks...

What one fails to do to remedy anything from global conflict to domestic strife with all of that information available at one's fingertips is surely the result of a lack of human intelligence rather than any exercise of it.
Does such indicate most all human intelligence systems are corrupted and perverted and subversive .... and be totally unfit for Future Lead with Greater IntelAIgent Games Use Employing Virtually Remote Core Instructions?
And that is at least six questions be answered if you can be bothered to be bothered. :-) ...... for apathy is a constant companion to both ignorance and arrogance alike.
OMG! A developer released code with a bug in it!
If we reeducated every developer who ever did this the Gulag would be full and the IT departments would be empty .
The blame lies with those who put off patching their instance of the software for a year.
I also assume the NSA knew about this bug before the developer and exploited it. They mentioned it now because the Ruskies found it.
