Unnamed government entities in the Middle East and Malaysia are the target of a persistent cyber campaign orchestrated by a threat actor known as Tropic Trooper since June 2023.

“Sighting this group’s [Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures] in critical governmental entities in the Middle East, particularly those related to human rights studies, marks a new strategic move for them,” Kaspersky security researcher Sherif Magdy said.

The Russian cybersecurity vendor said it detected the activity in June 2024 upon discovering a new version of the China Chopper web Shell, a tool shared by many Chinese-speaking threat actors for remote access to compromised servers, on a public web server hosting an open-source content management system…

Posts claiming that “human meat” is being grown in the UK and sold in supermarkets have been shared thousands of times on social media. 

The videos, which feature clips edited together and include commentary from creators based outside of the UK, all show a programme hosted by television presenter Gregg Wallace in which he appears to visit a factory producing “six tonnes” of “human meat” each day. 

It is claimed in the footage that the man-made protein is produced using “human cells” by a company called Good Harvest, and is being sold in supermarkets as a cheaper alternative to real animal products. 

The clips appear to have been shared as though they are real, with social media creators expressing their disbelief at the contents of the programme. In…

Over 80,000 displaced Ukrainians have arrived in Ireland since the war started. In the midst of a wider housing crisis, the state has run out of emergency accommodation for new arrivals.

A video with over 44,000 views on TikTok appears to show large cages and claims they are “human prison cages” that local police had promised “would be destroyed by October of 2020” yet were still there in July 2021. The video is also being shared on Facebook.

The video features two sets of videos, apparently of the same cages. In the first part, the person filming is driving past the cages and someone can be heard saying the cages have toilets in them.

This footage first appeared in 2020, and false claims that the cages were “being used to hold human trafficking victims captive” was fact checked by Reuters at the time.

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook in August 2020 saying it had received multiple calls about the cages stored outdoors…

OVH is a French web hosting and telecommunications provider which offers dedicated servers, shared hosting, domain registration, VPS and Cloud Computing services, having its own fiber optic network, which makes it one of the largest server installations in the world. Given its scope, OVH serves thousands of websites across Europe.

There are not 2 without 3

Last 2017, OVH had a generalized failure that affected practically all of Europe, particularly affecting the Western part – the left part of the map, where Spain is included. The official explanation pointed to a power outage in the main room where the routing process is managed. Without energy there is no process, and therefore the connections do not go.

At this point, and taking into account the huge network that OVH covers,…
