Got a “fully loaded” TV box for the holidays? Be careful.

If it came with “free” movies/sports apps, it may be running Trojanized APKs that turn your device into part of a botnet.

If the content is stolen, your data might be too. #CyberSecurity #AndroidTV #IoT

On 2025-11-05 CAMTEL (#AS15964) began announcing 4.0.0.0/8 and 8.0.0.0/8. Others announce more specific prefixes within them, but as the plot shows CAMTEL is now receiving an elevated amount of traffic to the corresponding, unannounced address space in these large prefixes.

The traffic has yet to normalize for the past 72 hours.

After arresting 3 linked to NoName057(16), the group declared a "holy war" on Spain, rallying pro-Russian hackers. @NETSCOUT has seen a rise in attacks on Spanish websites, but daily DDoS attacks remain normal for Spanish network operators. https://t.co/yAf3Ewzzzr

ASERT's continued monitoring of #DDoS #hacktivism and geopolitical tensions uncovered a significant wave of attacks on #Romania staring in early June and continuing this week. These assaults are widespread, targeting various industries and involving numerous adversaries.

The attacks targeted websites for the Korean National Police, Korean Tourism Organization, and Korean International Airport. The hacktivists seem to be aiming at vital services to maximize disruption in public life.

Adding to the complexity, Ambassador Hwang's recent UN address (https://t.co/mROgqljQFT) on DPRK human rights aligns with an uptick in attacks on South Korean gov websites. This synchronized timing raises questions about the motives and coordination behind these cyber assaults.

Today (6.12), Ambassador Hwang delivered a joint statement at a media stakeout on behalf of 57 UN member states and the European Union, including the United States and Japan, on the human rights situation in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Ambassador Hwang stated that the DPRK’s dire human rights and humanitarian situation is closely linked to its weapons development, like two sides of the same coin, and called on all UN member states to join in taking action to bring concrete change that improves the welfare of the people in the DPRK and contributes to a more peaceful and secure world.

This year, 5 more member states participated in the media stakeout compared to last year’s UN Security Council Open Briefing on the situation of human rights in the DPRK, demonstrating the international community's deep concern regarding this issue.
