🚨 Threat Actor Advertises Malware-as-a-Service Targeting Windows Systems
A threat actor claims to be offering a subscription-based malware-as-a-service (MaaS) offering that combines remote access, credential theft, browser manipulation, and persistence capabilities within a single package. The offering targets Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server environments and is distributed under a monthly or yearly subscription model that includes ongoing updates and operational support. The threat actor claims support for multiple initial access methods, including VBS, JS, SVG, LNK, and HTA-based execution.
The offering reportedly includes the following capabilities:
- Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and RMM functionality
- Credential theft and data collection
- Silent Chromium browser extension deployment
- Anti-VM and anti-debugging techniques
- Memory-based execution and injection capabilities
- Obfuscation techniques such as sleep obfuscation and steganography
- Process injection methods including DLL injection and process hollowing variants
Persistence mechanisms include task scheduler entries, registry modifications, and manipulation of windows Shortcut (LNK) files. The combination of browser extension abuse, credential theft, and remote access capabilities may facilitate financial fraud and session hijacking, while enabling long-term system compromise scenarios.

How prairie dogs use the Bernoulli’s principle.
In order to ensure sufficient oxygen within their burrow, one of the entrances is built with a raised mound of dirt, while the other is not. This determines different wind velocities and different pressures + natural ventilation.

🚀 Before India became a global space power, its scientists proved that innovation matters more than resources.
In 1981, as ISRO prepared to launch APPLE — India’s first experimental communication satellite — the team faced a major challenge. Limited access to computers meant engineers worked through the night at institutions like IISc, IIT Madras, and TIFR to complete critical mission analyses.
Then came another hurdle. To solve a testing problem caused by signal interference, the satellite needed a non-magnetic environment. The ingenious solution? Transporting APPLE on a humble bullock cart to an open field for antenna tests — all for just ₹150.
That simple bullock cart became a symbol of Indian ingenuity.
On June 19, 1981, APPLE was successfully launched aboard Ariane-1 from French Guiana, marking a historic milestone in India's space journey and proving that determination can overcome even the biggest constraints.

Voyager 1 and the Epic Journey Through the Oort Cloud Even though Voyager 1 has already entered interstellar space, it’s still deep inside our Solar System in the grandest https://t.co/YIDuNUmSWK will take roughly 300 years for humanity’s farthest spacecraft to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud — the vast, spherical shell of icy comets and frozen debris that marks the true outer boundary of our Solar System.Once there, crossing the entire Oort Cloud will take another ~30,000 years.That means Voyager 1 will spend tens of thousands of years silently drifting through this enormous region — a cosmic wilderness stretching up to 100,000 AU (nearly 2 light-years) from the Sun, filled with trillions of icy https://t.co/jPDvNrVMBY the time it finally emerges on the other side, it will have been traveling for over 30,000 years since leaving the planets behind… and it will still be only barely beginning its true journey into the wider Milky Way. A humbling reminder of just how vast our Solar System really is — and how small we are in the grand timeline of space exploration. Voyager’s voyage is only getting started.
🌎 Multiple Organizations Added to ShinyHunters Leak Site
The ShinyHunters ransomware/extortion operation has updated its leak portal with several high-profile organizations across telecommunications, retail, media, sports, and education sectors.
Newly listed organizations include:
* American Tower Corporation
* Alleged 5.2M+ records
* Customer, landowner, and telecom-related data
* Claimed data size: 105GB+
* JCPenney and subsidiaries under Catalyst Brands & Authentic Brands Group
* Listed as a victim following failed negotiations
* Data details not publicly disclosed
* Madison Square Garden Sports Corp.
* Alleged 26M+ records
* Customer PII and internal corporate data
* Claimed data size: 42GB+
* Ralph Lauren
* Alleged customer PII, transaction records, and internal data
* Claimed data size: 220GB+
* Nexstar Media Group
* Alleged 1M+ Salesforce and corporate records
* Claimed data size: 27GB+
* Glendale Community College
* Alleged 62GB+ of institutional data
* Marked as "Final Warning Pay or Leak"
* Moody Bible Institute
* Alleged 23GB+ of institutional data
* Marked as "Final Warning Pay or Leak"
At this time, the claims originate from the threat actor's leak site and should be considered unverified until independently confirmed by the affected organizations or investigators.
Analyst Note: ShinyHunters continues to focus on organizations holding large volumes of customer, student, donor, and corporate data. The repeated use of "Pay or Leak" messaging indicates the group remains heavily focused on data extortion rather than operational disruption.

🛡️ DPAPISnoop Tool Extracts CREDHIST Hashes for Offline Windows Credential Recovery
Source: https://t.co/WLGVNsH3H0
The open-source DPAPISnoop tool has been enhanced to extract CREDHIST entries, enabling offline cracking of historical Windows credentials and deeper insight into password patterns.
Microsoft’s Data Protection API (DPAPI) is widely used to protect sensitive user data such as browser credentials, encryption keys, and stored secrets.
When a user changes their password, Windows maintains a chain of previous password-derived keys to ensure older encrypted data remains accessible. The updated DPAPISnoop tool can parse CREDHIST files and convert entries into offline-crackable hash formats.

In Morocco, even a broken clay pot gets a second life.
Instead of throwing cracked earthen pots away, people bury the pieces around trees. The clay helps shade the soil, slow water loss, and protect roots from harsh summer heat.
It’s a simple reminder that sometimes the smartest solutions aren’t high-tech. They come from rethinking what we already have.
Across India, too, communities have long turned everyday materials into ingenious fixes. From using coconut husks to retain moisture in farms to reviving traditional rainwater harvesting systems, innovation often begins with necessity.
Makes you wonder: what local eco-friendly innovation have you seen in your village, town, or city?

Alan Turing's famous 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers" was written to solve a problem in pure logic (Hilbert's Entscheidungsproblem) — the "universal machine" was a thought experiment, not a blueprint. The engineering came later.
Do you think teaching makes you better at what you do? Medicine laureate Oliver Smithies did.
“When you teach you have to understand, and so you learn more by teaching than you knew before and so teaching teaches you as well and that makes you have new thoughts. Your science is better for teaching,” he said.
Smithies also believed that scientists “have to teach” because someone taught them and they owe it to their community.
He shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2007 with two other laureates, for their discoveries of principles for introducing specific gene modifications in mice by the use of embryonic stem cells.

1. Event Horizon: Represented by the red circle, this boundary marks the region around a black hole beyond which no information or matter can escape to the outside universe. It defines the limits of the black hole’s influence.
2. Singularity: Denoted by the central blue dot, the singularity represents the theoretical point of infinite density and gravitational pull within the black hole. All matter and energy drawn into the black hole ultimately collapse into this point.
3. Time: Indicated by the upward arrow, it highlights that within the event horizon, time inexorably moves towards the singularity. Any object crossing the event horizon follows this arrow's direction, unable to avoid eventual collision with the singularity.
4. Space: Represented by the downward arrow, it signifies how, within the event horizon, spatial dimensions become distorted. Movement within this region is no longer free in the usual sense but is inevitably directed towards the singularity.
