RT by @MarietjeSchaake: "Operation Triangulation"
https://securelist.com/operation-triangulation-the-last-hardware-mystery/111669/

A newly discovered spyware campaign targeting Apple iPhone using a zero-click remote code execution via an attack chain of 4 zero-days, including highly mysterious, completely undocumented MMIO registers and hardware features that are not even ever used by the firmware.
TLDR the attack begins with an iMessage to an arbitrary phone that, without any user action and invisibly, gets it to collect and upload tons of private data (and much more, e.g. microphone recordings) from there on, and actively takes steps to hide all of this activity from the user and aspiring forensic researchers. Apple has patched the core vulnerability on Oct 25, 2023.

"This is definitely the most sophisticated attack chain we have ever seen"

The talk itself, a lot more wild information there:

The author of this attack is unknown, as is the method by which they gained knowledge of these unused, undocumented hardware features. Russia's intelligence service accused Apple of providing the NSA with a backdoor.

For a more general audience intro to this underworld I usually recommend the book "Countdown to Zero Day".

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: The nights before Christmas are the longest of the year. However, the day has already begun to lengthen and the light has begun to prevail. The light grows stronger. Day by day and step by step, the darkness retreats.

Darkness will eventually lose. Evil will be defeated.

Today, this is our common goal, our common wish, and what we pray for.

For our freedom. For our victory. For our Ukraine.

Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Mary Robinson gives qualified welcome to weak #UNSC Resolution on #Gaza, but warns implementation is what really matters to saving lives.

“Agreement on this weak and overdue UN Security Council Resolution is better than another US veto. But the test of the resolution’s success will be how many lives are saved.

The people of Gaza are facing starvation: they need food, not words. Neither Hamas nor Israel have complied with the previous resolution agreed last month. If the Security Council is to be credible, its members must push harder for implementation of its decisions.

The shocking reality on the ground in Gaza demands the rapid delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale, not haggling over a monitoring mechanism.

I regret that the Security Council has not called for an immediate ceasefire. That is out of touch with world opinion, as expressed by the General Assembly last week. And distributing aid at the scale needed will be impossible while total warfare continues.

Calling for a sustainable cessation of hostilities means little unless UNSC members are serious about creating the conditions for it. That includes more decisive US influence on Israel to ensure it complies with the provisions of this and previous Security Council Resolutions, and countries who have influence over Hamas pushing for the remaining hostages to be released.

The threat of another veto has hung over this protracted negotiation, as it has over discussions on Russia’s aggression in Ukraine. Permanent members of the Security Council who abuse their veto power for national advantage are living on borrowed time.

The rest of the world will not tolerate this anachronism for ever, particularly when it leads to the kinds of dehumanising suffering we are seeing in Gaza.

This horrific war has lasted too long; everyone’s priority must now be to save lives and build a sustainable a…
