安全公司 ESET 的研究人员报告了第一个杀不死的 Linux UEFI Bootkit。该恶意程序被攻击者命名为 Bootkitty，相比 Windows 平台上的类似恶意程序，Bootkitty 相对简陋，关键底层功能不完善，主要感染 Ubuntu，感染其它 Linux 发行版的手段缺乏。安全研究人员猜测它可能是一个概念验证版本，尚未观察到实际感染证据。Bootkit 是一种感染固件的恶意程序，此类恶意程序无法通过格式化硬盘等常规方法杀死。最新发现意味着 UEFI Bootkit 不再只针对 Windows 操作系统。

At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. Just days after Russia invaded Ukraine, Durov wrote that Telegram was "increasingly becoming a source of unverified information," and he worried about the app being used to "incite ethnic hatred." 'Wild West' Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands.
