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. The channel appears to be part of the broader information war that has developed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has paid Russian TikTok influencers to push propaganda, according to a Vice News investigation, while ProPublica found that fake Russian fact check videos had been viewed over a million times 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. So, uh, whenever I hear about Telegram, it’s always in relation to something bad. What gives? The fake Zelenskiy account reached 20,000 followers on Telegram before it was shut down, a remedial action that experts say is all too rare.
