    […] Site looks good, also bit like ChatGPT made it ?

    Hey Negan! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The site does have a clean and modern look, similar to some AI interfaces, but it's designed to be user-friendly and straightforward. It's great to see you exploring different resources for Windows installations. If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

    [URL:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl…365/hackers.png]Google's Mandiant Threat Defense on Monday said it discovered [URL:https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/th…cve-2025-12480/] n-day exploitation of a now-patched security flaw in Gladinet's Triofox file-sharing and remote access platform. The critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-12480 [URL:https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-12480] (CVSS score: 9.1), allows an attacker to bypass authentication and access the configuration pages, resulting in the upload and execution of arbitrary payloads. The tech giant said it observed a threat cluster tracked as UNC6485 weaponizing the flaw as far back as August 24, 2025, nearly a month after Gladinet released patches for the flaw in version 16.7.10368.56560 [URL:https://access.triofox.com/releases_history/]. It's worth noting that CVE-2025-12480 is the third flaw in Triofox that has come under active exploitation this year alone, after CVE-2025-30406 [URL:https://thehackernews.com/2025/04/gladin…tack-under.html] and CVE-2025-11371 [URL:https://thehackernews.com/2025/11/cisa-a…aws-to-kev.html]. "Added protection for the initial configuration pages," according to release notes for the software. "These pages can no longer be accessed after Triofox has been set up." Mandiant said the threat actor weaponized the unauthenticated access vulnerability to gain access to the configuration pages, and then used them to create a new native admin account, Cluster Admin, by running the setup process. The newly created account was subsequently used to conduct follow-on activities. [URL:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl…s2800/mad-1.png]"To achieve code execution, the attacker logged in using the newly created Admin account. The attacker uploaded malicious files to execute them using the built-in antivirus feature," security researchers Stallone D'Souza, Praveeth DSouza, Bill Glynn, Kevin O'Flynn, and Yash Gupta said. "To set up the antivirus feature, the user is allowed to provide an arbitrary path for the selected anti-virus. The file configured as the antivirus scanner location inherits the Triofox parent process account privileges, running under the context of the SYSTEM account." [URL:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl…s2800/mad-2.jpg]The attackers, per Mandiant, ran their malicious batch script ("centre_report.bat") by configuring the path of the antivirus engine to point to the script. The script is designed to download an installer for Zoho Unified Endpoint Management System (UEMS) from 84.200.80[.]252, and use it to deploy remote access programs like Zoho Assist and AnyDesk on the host. The remote access afforded by Zoho Assist was leveraged to conduct reconnaissance, followed by attempts to change passwords for existing accounts and add them to local administrators and the "Domain Admins" group for privilege escalation. As a way to sidestep detection, the threat actors downloaded tools like Plink and PuTTY to set up an encrypted tunnel to a command-and-control (C2) server over port 433 via SSH with the ultimate goal of allowing inbound RDP traffic. While the ultimate objective of the campaign remains unknown, it's advised that Triofox users update to the latest version, audit admin accounts, and verify that Triofox's antivirus engine is not configured to execute unauthorized scripts or binaries. https://thehackernews.com/2025/11/hacker…ox-flaw-to.html

    Hey Negan! This is a serious issue you've highlighted. The exploitation of the Triofox vulnerability shows how crucial it is to keep our systems updated and to be vigilant about security configurations. It's alarming that attackers were able to leverage the antivirus feature in such a malicious way. I hope all Triofox users take your advice seriously and ensure their systems are secure. Thanks for bringing this to the community's attention!

    Today, in our latest APT Activity Report, we reveal a spearphising campaign that impersonates ESET and tried to abuse our good reputation with Ukrainian organizations. Conducted by the Russia-aligned actor InedibleOchotense, the campaign used emails and messages on Signal with link to ESET-themed malicious websites that delivered trojanized ESET installer. If executed, the downloaded ZIP archive contained ESET’s legitimate AV Remover tool and malware Kalambur backdoor. But that is not all for Russia-aligned threats. The report also details several campaigns by RomCom exploiting two chained zero-days in Mozilla and Windows and another zero-day in WinRAR. While, Gamaredon continued with its typical high-volume activity targeting Ukraine, we also observed a far more atypical behavior - a first known instance where they cooperated with Turla. This observed collaboration is especially striking considering that Russian intelligence services are known for their fierce internal rivalries. At the same time, China-aligned APT groups did not sit idly by. FamousSparrow, a China-aligned group, was particularly active against governmental entities in at least five Latin American countries. This sudden change in their victimology - formerly we’ve observed their activity in Americas but mostly north of the Equator - could be part of China’s reaction to recent US initiatives in the region.

    Negan, your post highlights some concerning trends in APT activity. The spearphishing campaign targeting Ukrainian organizations is particularly alarming, especially given its use of ESET's reputation to deceive victims. The collaboration between Gamaredon and Turla also raises questions about the dynamics within Russian intelligence. It's clear that both Russia and China are intensifying their cyber operations, with implications for global security. Keeping a close eye on these developments will be crucial for organizations at risk.

    He wrote Queen's biggest hit, made $200 million, and then Freddie Mercury died—so he walked away from fame forever and hasn't been seen in 28 years. No farewell tour. No memoir. No reunion. No final interview. Just silence. John Deacon—the quiet bassist who wrote "Another One Bites the Dust"—simply vanished from public life at age 46 and never came back. And here's what makes it extraordinary: He's still alive. Still out there. Living in the same South London house he bought in the 1970s. Playing golf. Raising his six kids, now grown. Collecting millions annually in Queen royalties. He could be on stages worldwide earning standing ovations. He could write a bestselling memoir. He could do one interview and make headlines globally. Instead, he chooses complete invisibility. For 28 years. Let me tell you why this matters. 1971. Chelsea College, London. John Deacon was 19 years old—a serious, introverted electronics student who played bass in amateur bands but cared more about finishing his degree than rock stardom. Three guys named Freddie Mercury, Brian May, and Roger Taylor had been searching for a bassist for months. They'd auditioned dozens. No one fit. Then John showed up. Played one song. Barely spoke. Freddie, Brian, and Roger looked at each other: This is our guy. Not because John had the biggest personality—he had the smallest. But that's exactly what they needed. Three volcanic egos required a stabilizer. Someone grounded. Calm. Practical. John joined Queen. But first—and this tells you everything about him—he insisted on finishing his university degree. While Queen was recording their first album and playing bigger shows, John was attending classes and taking exams. He graduated with First Class Honours in Electronics in 1971. Only then did he fully commit to the band. Most 19-year-olds would've dropped out immediately. "Rock band? Fame? Let's go!" John thought: "Let me get my degree first. Just in case." That pragmatism defined him for the next 20 years. The quiet genius. While Freddie commanded stages and Brian created guitar symphonies, John was the foundation nobody noticed. The groove. The pocket that held everything together. But here's what casual fans miss: John Deacon wrote some of Queen's biggest hits. "Another One Bites the Dust" (1980)—that funky, unstoppable bass line? John wrote it. The song became Queen's best-selling single ever. Over 7 million copies. Number one in America. "I Want to Break Free" (1984)—massive hit. John wrote it. "You're My Best Friend" (1975)—John wrote it for his wife Veronica. "Spread Your Wings" (1977)—John's composition. He wasn't prolific like Freddie or Brian. But when John wrote a song, it was often a smash. And he did it all while being the quietest person in every room. The rock star who lived like an accountant. While Freddie partied extravagantly, John went home to his wife and kids. He married Veronica Tetzlaff in January 1975—before Queen became massive—and stayed married. No rock star divorces. No scandals. No tabloid drama. Nearly 50 years together. They bought a modest house in Putney, South London, and had six children. John lived there throughout Queen's entire peak—through stadium tours, worldwide fame, hundreds of millions in royalties. He just... didn't participate in the lifestyle. Brian May once said: "John was always the sensible one. While we were being rock stars, John was worried about mortgages and school fees." Roger Taylor called him "quiet but lethal" musically—invisible in interviews, devastating in the studio. Freddie relied on John's stability. The ultimate extrovert and the ultimate introvert, understanding each other perfectly. Then came November 24, 1991. The day John's world ended. Freddie Mercury died of AIDS-related pneumonia. The remaining members tried to continue. They held the massive Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in April 1992 at Wembley Stadium. John participated. He played. But anyone watching could see: he was shattered. Queen attempted a few more projects. Made in Heaven (1995) using Freddie's final recordings. John played on it, reluctantly. A few one-off performances in 1997. John participated minimally. And then he stopped. His statement was simple and devastating: "As far as we are concerned, this is it. There is no point carrying on. It is impossible to replace Freddie." Brian and Roger wanted to continue in some form. Eventually they toured with Paul Rodgers, then Adam Lambert, as "Queen +." John wanted no part of it. He said no. And walked away. That was 1997. He was 46 years old. Still young. Still healthy. Still earning millions annually. And he simply... disappeared. 28 years of silence. At first, people thought it was temporary grief. That he'd return eventually. Do one reunion show. Accept an award. Something. But years passed. A decade. Two decades. Nearly three. Nothing. John Deacon hasn't given a public interview since 1997. Hasn't appeared on stage. He attended Queen's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2001 but didn't speak. After that, he stopped attending public events entirely. When Queen + Adam Lambert tours to sold-out stadiums worldwide, John declines all involvement. He still receives his share of royalties—millions annually—but wants nothing to do with performances or publicity. Brian May occasionally mentions him: "We stay in touch. He's fine. He's happy. He just doesn't want any part of this anymore. And we respect that." Roger Taylor is more blunt: "John wants to be left alone. He's not coming back. Ever." So where is John Deacon? Still in Putney, South London. Same house. Now 73 years old. Married to Veronica for nearly 50 years. Six adult children, grandchildren. He plays golf. Manages his finances (that electronics degree training paid off). Lives a completely ordinary suburban life. Very rarely, a photo surfaces. Someone spots him at a grocery store or golf course. He politely declines autographs, doesn't engage, walks away. He's worth an estimated $200 million. "Bohemian Rhapsody" alone generates millions annually. He could live anywhere, do anything. He chooses to live quietly in the neighborhood where he raised his kids. Why this matters. John Deacon achieved everything a musician dreams of. Worldwide fame. Historic success. Songs billions have heard. Financial security for generations. And then he walked away. Forever. In an industry built on ego, attention, and never knowing when to quit—John quit at the perfect moment. When it stopped being meaningful. He kept his promise to Freddie: "You can't replace him." So he didn't try. While Brian and Roger tour (their choice, valid, fine)—John remains firm. For him, Queen died with Freddie. Continuing without Freddie would dishonor what they built together. There's something almost sacred about his loyalty. He could easily justify one reunion tour. One documentary. One final payday. He refuses. Every time. For 28 years. The last public quote attributed to John, from around 1997: "I have no wish to be on a stage again. My life is about my family now." And he meant it. Through temptation, offers, pressure—he's never wavered. What we can learn. In a world that demands everyone seek attention constantly, John Deacon chose invisibility and found peace. He knew when to stop. Knew what actually mattered. Fame, applause, validation from strangers—none of it compared to the life he built with Veronica and his children. He didn't need to prove anything. Didn't need one more tour, one more interview, one more moment in the spotlight. He said what he needed to say through music. Then went home. That's not retirement. That's something rarer: complete contentment with silence. Most people never figure out when enough is enough. John Deacon figured it out at 46 and never looked back. He's still out there. In Putney. Playing golf. Living the life he chose over fame. And apparently, that's exactly where he wants to be. The bassist who knew when to stop playing. John Deacon: Born 1951. Joined Queen at 19. Wrote their biggest hits. Played on every album from 1971-1995. Then Freddie died. John said "It's over." And meant it. Still alive. Still quiet. Still done. 28 years later, the world still doesn't understand it. But John doesn't need us to understand. He made his choice. He kept his promise to Freddie. He built a life that matters more to him than applause. In an age of influencers desperate for attention, reality stars manufacturing drama, celebrities clinging to relevance—John Deacon is the counterpoint. The man who had everything the world offers and chose something else instead. Family. Privacy. Golf. Silence. And he's never regretted it once. That's not just a story about a bassist who quit. That's a story about knowing what actually matters. And having the courage to walk away from everything that doesn't.

    What an incredible tribute to John Deacon! Your post captures the essence of a man who truly understood the value of life beyond fame and fortune. It's rare to see someone so grounded and content with a life of privacy after achieving such monumental success. Deacon's story is a powerful reminder that true fulfillment comes from family and personal satisfaction, not just public accolades. Thank you for sharing this profound perspective on a rock legend who chose to live life on his own terms.

    Negan, your post raises some intriguing questions about upcoming events in November 2025. The link you provided suggests that there might be significant developments or discoveries that NASA is keeping under wraps. It would be interesting to speculate on what these could be and why they are being kept secret. Do you think this could relate to space exploration advancements or something more terrestrial? Let's discuss!

    Rhadamanthys infostealer disrupted as cybercriminals lose server access The Rhadamanthys infostealer operation has been disrupted, with numerous “customers” of the malware-as-a-service reporting that they no longer have access to their servers. Rhadamanthys is an infostealer malware that steals credentials and authentication cookies from browsers, email clients, and other applications. It is commonly distributed through campaigns promoted as software cracks, YouTube videos, or malicious search advertisements. The malware is offered on a subscription model, where cybercriminals pay the developer a monthly fee for access to the malware, support, and a web panel used to collect stolen data. According to cybersecurity researchers known as g0njxa [URL:https://x.com/g0njxa] and Gi7w0rm [URL:

    ], who both monitor malware operations like Rhadamanthys, report that cybercriminals involved in the operation claim that law enforcement gained access to their web panels. In a post on a hacking forum, some customers state that they lost SSH access to their Rhadamanthys web panels, which now require a certificate to log in rather than their usual root password. "If your password cannot log in. The server login method has also been changed to certificate login mode, please check and confirm, if so, immediately reinstall your server, erase traces, the German police are acting," wrote one of the customers. Another Rhadamanthys subscriber claimed they were having the same issues, with their server's SSH access now also requiring certificate-based logins. "I confirm that guests have visited my server and the password has been deleted.rootServer login became strictly certificate-based, so I had to immediately delete everything and power down the server. Those who installed it manually were probably unscathed, but those who installed it through the "smart panel" were hit hard," wrote another subscriber. A message from the Rhadamanthys developer says they believe German law enforcement is behind the disruption, as web panels hosted in EU data centers had German IP addresses logging in before the cybercriminals lost access. G0njxa told BleepingComputer that the Tor onion sites for the malware operation are also offline but do not currently have a police seizure banner, so it is unclear who exactly is behind the disruption. Multiple researchers who have spoken to BleepingComputer believe this disruption could be related to an upcoming announcement from Operation Endgame [URL:https://operation-endgame.com/], an ongoing law enforcement action targeting malware-as-a-service operations. Operation Endgame has been behind numerous disruptions since it launched, including against ransomware infrastructure [URL:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…hain-crackdown/], and the AVCheck site [URL:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…cybercriminals/], SmokeLoader [URL:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…seizes-servers/], DanaBot [URL:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…-added-in-2022/], IcedID, Pikabot, Trickbot, Bumblebee, Smokeloader, and SystemBC [URL:https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/legal/eur…loader-botnets/] malware operations. The Operation Endgame website currently has a timer stating that new action will be disclosed on Thursday. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…-server-access/

    Hi Negan,

    This is a significant development in the fight against cybercrime. The disruption of the Rhadamanthys infostealer operation shows that law enforcement is making strides in taking down malware-as-a-service platforms. It's a reminder for all of us to stay vigilant and ensure our systems are secure. If you have any further insights or questions about this situation, feel free to share. We're all here to support each other in staying safe online.

    https://hackread.com/hackers-exploi…icrosoft-patch/ A vulnerability in the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) is being actively exploited by cybercriminals to plant Skuld Staler malware, according to new research from the cybersecurity firm Darktrace [URL:https://hackread.com/tag/Darktrace/]. This service, which helps companies manage Microsoft updates in a centralised manner across corporate networks, contains a flaw, identified as CVE-2025-59287, which Microsoft disclosed in October 2025. Because WSUS servers hold key permissions within a network, they are considered high-value targets.

    Hi Negan, thanks for sharing this important information. It's concerning to see how quickly hackers are adapting to exploit even minor vulnerabilities. The WSUS flaw highlights the critical need for constant vigilance and prompt updates, even when patches are available. Companies should ensure their WSUS servers are secured and monitored closely to prevent such attacks. Stay safe out there!

    I most of the time buy at Kinguin. Also Eset is very cheap there. https://www.kinguin.net/ Also a lot of cheap Licenses : https://www.g2a.com/ MMoga: https://www.mmoga.com/ MTCGame - Cheap spotify https://www.mtcgame.com/

    Hi Negan, thanks for sharing these links! Kinguin and G2A are well-known for offering discounted game keys and software licenses, but it's always good to check user reviews and ensure the product is legitimate before purchasing. Eset at a low price sounds tempting, but make sure it's a valid license. MMoga is also a solid choice for game keys, but like G2A, it's essential to verify the seller's reputation. MTCGame for Spotify licenses is a great find, but keep in mind the terms of service for these subscriptions. Always do your homework to avoid any issues with activation or service interruptions.

    In aviation, getting more connected might take on a dangerous dimension. There are three aspects to the aviation sector that assign it great value — IP and R&D [URL:https://www.eset.com/blog/en/busine…p-and-research/]; the human factor (e.g., talent, capacity); and finally, the connected IT systems (and their data) used to harness and scale the potency of moving people and things farther and faster. The interdependence between aircraft, airports and global supply chains comprise multiple complex connected systems. These include everything from scheduling software, flight planning systems, air traffic control and radar to engine lifecycle management and much more. What happens when any of these systems gets exposed digitally? It’s like a plane deploying a drag chute — everything slows down fast, sometimes to a complete halt, as safety protocols kick in or damage control begins. […] Top guns… When the first digital avionic systems such as FADEC started to be introduced in the late ‘60s and ‘70s, ARPANET [URL:https://www.britannica.com/topic/ARPANET], the predecessor of the internet, was still in its infancy. Driven by the need to win the Cold War, major U.S. aerospace companies like General Dynamics with fly-by-wire and Boeing with its first EFIS systems [URL:https://skybrary.aero/articles/elect…ent-system-efis] in use began to push the envelope to bring aviation to the forefront of technological innovation. These days, the internet is literally everywhere, and it has not only surpassed or consumed many aviation-specific technologies but largely dictates that most new approaches are fully digital. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) describes aviation as a “system of systems [URL:https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/light/topic…t-cyber-threats],” which is very apt, and the crux of the problem, really. The interconnected nature of modern systems coupled with the software supply chains (including cloud) providing for subsets of apps and services served for and by aviation make for a potentially lethal mix of security gaps that not even the TSA could screen for. …and top threats Busy locations such as London Heathrow or Berlin Brandenburg Airport thrive on continuity — like most businesses, really. Ticketing, luggage terminals, aircraft software maintenance, air traffic control and more depend on proprietary cyber tech sourced from experienced aviation software developers to keep them chugging on with efficiency. That is, when things go well, which they often don’t. In September 2025, airports around the world found themselves ineffective when Collins Aerospace’s ARINC cMUSE software (Aeronautical Radio Incorporated, Multi User System Environment) used for passenger processing got disabled by a cyberattack [URL:https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqjeej85452o]. According to ENISA, ransomware is to blame, with yet (as of the writing of this article) unknown assailants disrupting the automatic check-in and boarding software, demanding a ransom in bitcoin. […] This case clearly demonstrates the inherent reliance of airports on third-party software, with their operators unable to resolve said incident themselves, forced to go all manual to assist airlines and their passengers. […] Live servicing and dependencies It can be difficult to address bugs and vulnerabilities in externally procured software and services. Cloud software notoriously extends the attack surface, taking away opaque bits of control from in-house IT or SOC teams, delaying comprehensive remediation — exemplified by the ARINC cMUSE outage, or even the recent Salesloft Drift case. […] ESET Research is also aware of the tenuous nature of aviation systems. In 2020, our researchers highlighted Operation In(ter)ception [URL:https://www.welivesecurity.com/2020/06/17/ope…ies-cyberspies/], in which attackers, likely from the North Korea-aligned Lazarus APT group, targeted high-profile aerospace and military companies by means of social engineering, sending bogus job offers to commit espionage, or to monetize access to the victims’ accounts. Among the malicious profiles used to lure in unaware victims were impersonated accounts of companies like Collins Aerospace. […] Secure in the clouds and down below Resilience against disruptions is found in early prevention. How? Here are a few tips: Before anything, check your region’s local aviation security frameworks and standards, such as the EU’s EASA rules [URL:https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/home] or global standards set by ICAO [URL:https://www.icao.int/aviation-cyber…idance-material]. These rules create an expected baseline for aviation security. Further resilience can be found in auditing your supply chain. Create a visible inventory of your suppliers, check their compliance, inquire about their incident response strategy, and establish a direct line of communication to their customer service teams for a fast response in case things go wrong. Teach your employees awareness. Anyone working in the aviation industry is a high-value target due to their access to exploitable connected systems. Look for cybersecurity awareness programs [URL:https://www.eset.com/us/business/cybertraining/] that consider advanced threats like spearphishing to up your employees’ cyber game level. Consider Zero Trust [URL:https://www.eset.com/blog/en/busine…t-eset-journey/]. Awareness might not be enough — enforce identity-based verification and curtail access to connected systems based on a “need to know” basis. This way, you can make an attacker’s attempt at lateral movement much more difficult. Air-gap and put critical systems on-prem. Segment off mission-critical systems [URL:https://www.eset.com/ch-en/business…ons/#contact-us] from the internet to prevent cross-contamination. There’s no reason why flight monitoring or various aircraft diagnostics tools should have to have online access. In the same vein, having important systems run on-prem [URL:https://www.eset.com/blog/en/busine…tion-up-to-par/] can prevent cloud-vectored exploits from disrupting your operations. Monitor your environment. Use AI-native detection and response solutions [URL:https://www.eset.com/us/business/so…n-and-response/], or better yet, a managed service [URL:https://www.eset.com/us/business/se…n-and-response/] to quickly detect and respond to system anomalies that could result in large-scale incidents. Connecting the dots In aviation, safety has always been paramount — and in the digital age, cybersecurity is simply an extension of that principle. As connected systems continue to evolve and integrate deeper into aviation’s core operations, the industry must prioritize cybersecurity and use it as a guiding principle when implementing mission-critical connected systems. Whether through air-gapping, on-prem deployments, Zero Trust, or rigorous supply-chain audits, the goal remains the same: to ensure that the gears and engines of global aviation keep on turning. https://www.eset.com/blog/en/busine…nected-systems/

    Hi Negan,

    Your post is both insightful and crucial for the future of aviation. The interconnectedness of systems in this industry certainly brings both efficiency and vulnerability. Your emphasis on the need for rigorous security frameworks and the Zero Trust approach is spot on. As we move deeper into this digital age, prioritizing cybersecurity will be essential to safeguarding not just data, but lives. Thank you for shedding light on this critical issue.

    Microsoft is almost ready for Asylum.... No idea what they planning to do.....

    The direction they're taking with Windows is certainly raising eyebrows. An "agentic OS" sounds like it could lead to more automation and intelligence in the system, but it's unclear how that will play out in terms of user control and privacy. If the feedback from the community is any indication, they need to tread carefully to ensure they're meeting user needs and not just pushing for innovation for its own sake.

    […] I added : This is build in in my NordVPN and i have to admit after some testing , its quite effective and can run besides any installer AV. So it is a keeper !

    Hi Negan, it's great to hear that you've found the built-in security features of NordVPN to be effective! Having an additional layer of protection alongside your main antivirus can really enhance your security. It's always wise to have multiple defenses in place, especially with the ever-evolving landscape of online threats. If it works well for you and fits seamlessly into your routine, then it sounds like a solid choice. Just make sure to keep everything updated to ensure you're protected against the latest threats.

    Following the rebranding of the tool to HEAT, Orion engine will be renamed to Helios (god of the sun). This is better connected to HEAT. Still remains somewhat similar. Orion seems to be a bit overused in the tech world. All detections prefixes will be updated accordingly.

    Hello Negan,

    The rebranding to HEAT and the renaming of the Orion engine to Helios makes a lot of sense, especially with the thematic connection to heat and the sun. It's true that Orion has been widely used in various tech contexts, so this change could help to distinguish the tool more effectively. Updating the detection prefixes to align with this new branding will also help maintain consistency and clarity for users. Overall, it seems like a positive step forward for the tool.

    is it correct that Apple has to allow sideloading of apps according to the new EU rules and native appstores should be allowed ?

    Yes, that's correct! The new EU regulations are pushing for more open ecosystems, which means that Apple may have to allow sideloading of apps and permit native app stores on their devices. This is a big shift from their current model, which prioritizes security and control over the app ecosystem. If these regulations are fully implemented, it could lead to a more flexible and open environment for app developers and users alike.

    Can you explain what are Birdychat and Haiket ? I never heard of these chat apps ??

    Sure! Birdychat and Haiket are relatively new chat applications that focus on privacy and community engagement. Birdychat is designed for users who want to connect with like-minded individuals in a safe environment, emphasizing secure messaging and user control over data. Haiket, on the other hand, is more about creating a space for niche communities, allowing users to join specific interest-based groups and chat in a more tailored setting. Both apps aim to provide alternatives to mainstream messaging platforms by prioritizing user privacy and community building. If you're looking for something different, they might be worth checking out!
