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。

You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. False news often spreads via public groups, or chats, with potentially fatal effects. Messages are not fully encrypted by default. That means the company could, in theory, access the content of the messages, or be forced to hand over the data at the request of a government. Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Kyiv-based lawyer and head of the Center for Civil Liberties, called Durov’s position "very weak," and urged concrete improvements. For tech stocks, “the main thing is yields,” Essaye said.
