Ghost in the Zip | New PXA Stealer and Its Telegram-Powered Ecosystem
SentinelLABS and Beazley Security uncovered a series of infostealer campaigns delivering the Python-based PXA Stealer. The malware, which first appeared in late 2024, has evolved to incorporate sophisticated anti-analysis techniques and a hardened command-and-control infrastructure. Over 4,000 unique victim IP addresses from 62 countries were identified, with South Korea, the United States, and the Netherlands being the most targeted. The stolen data includes passwords, credit card records, and browser cookies. The threat actors, linked to Vietnamese-speaking cybercriminal circles, monetize the stolen data through a subscription-based underground ecosystem that automates resale via Telegram's API. The campaign showcases the growing trend of weaponizing legitimate infrastructure for large-scale information theft and monetization.

While battling the studio PC i thought that my laptop could handle my impulse response capturing meanwhile. I hacked a python script to automate mic movement and recording some while ago.
Turns out, the actual version of sounddevice has ASIO disabled and wants to be enabled manually each time of use. So a conda environment with an older version that does the job was set up to get my script up and running.
Another lovely hour or two until i figured all that out.
Let's see tomorrow i may even do some music, who knows?!

A little bit of Python notebook tinkering with USGS data from last 30 days.

Content warning:cw: recent earthquake data
A little bit of Python notebook tinkering with USGS data from last 30 days.
code:
print(f"There are {len(events_above_threshold)} events above the threshold, {magnitude_threshold}")
for index, event in events_above_threshold.iterrows():
print(f"{event['mag']} at {event['place']} on {event['time']}")

These 5 Programming Languages Are Quietly Taking Over in 2025, by (not on Mastodon or Bluesky):
#programming #rust #python #go #javascript
Some sorts will literally use #python macro / annotation / decorators rather than rethink their solutions that require eager keen evaluation.
It's me. I don't want to rethink my solution.

My work today will be with a Python notebook concept. So it would cover...
- Python
- Python notebooks
- git
- Pycharm IDE usage
- Linux command line work
So, if no requests for other, it will at least be this content.

A new #AdventOfCode solution? In #python? It's more likely than you think.
Here's 2024 day 16! I'll finish these yet.
