idk who needs to hear this, but malware doesn’t target things

please stop saying malware targets things

macOS NimDoor | DPRK Threat Actors Target Web3 and Crypto Platforms with Nim-Based Malware NimDoor reflects a leap in DPRK’s offensive toolkit, mixing compile-time trickery with native scripting to complicate and deter analysis.

More bad #Apple #malware from our "friends" from the #DPRK (again!). 🇰🇵 Similar to the one seen by Huntress, but uses some different Nim payloads and trickery to write persistence on reboot / kill. Heads up #macOS detection engineers! 👇 @syrion89.bsky.social

Washington foresaw this day coming...

"They serve to organize faction; to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small [...] minority"

They won’t solve this because focusing on names is to miss the forest for the trees. Or perhaps miss the trees for the forest.

The root of this problem is the underlying data & analysis, or lack thereof. Until we set standards for these things, forget about names.

A screenshot of a statement from Navy Commander Emily Shilling in response to the Supreme Court allowing Trump's transgender military ban to take effect while a court case proceeds. It reads: Today’s decision by the Supreme Court to stay the injunction in Shilling v. United States is a heavy blow—not just to me, but to every transgender service member who has worn the uniform with honor and integrity. We asked for clarity. We asked for stability. Instead, we received uncertainty. The protections granted by the District Court, which affirmed our right to serve openly and authentically, are now paused while this case continues its journey through the courts. But let me be perfectly clear: this is not defeat. This is delay. Transgender service members have served this nation with courage, skill, and selflessness for years. We’ve flown combat missions, led sailors, commanded troops, and stood watch. We are not a theory. We are not a policy debate. We are real people, doing real jobs, in defense of a nation we still believe in, even when it struggles to believe in us. I know this decision will cause fear and doubt in the ranks. To those feeling shaken, I say this: stand tall. You are not alone. You are part of a community that will fight for you, stand beside you, and never stop pushing forward. This case isn’t over. The truth is still on our side. And history, like it always has, will find in favor of those who choose courage over cowardice, service over exclusion, and unity over fear. We carry on and fight forward.

Navy Cmdr. Emily Shilling, lead plaintiff in the case against Trump's trans military ban, responds to SCOTUS' decision allowing it to take effect:

"We are not a policy debate. We are real people, doing real jobs, in defense of a nation we still believe in, even when it struggles to believe in us."
