:apple_inc: Apple now offers $2 Million for Zero-Click RCE Vulnerabilities.

Apple is announcing a major expansion and redesign of its bug bounty program, doubling maximum payouts, adding new research categories and introducing a more transparent reward structure. Since the program launched in 2020, Apple has awarded $35 million to 800 security researchers, the company paying $500,000 for some of the submitted reports.

"Do you trust the authors of this folder?"

MFer, I don't trust code *I* wrote six months ago. I'll reread it before running it if I have even the slightest hesitation about what it's going to do.

Trust rando authors to run code in my project dir when opening an editor? Ha.

:linux: New advanced Linux VoidLink Malware targets Cloud and Container Environments.

According to a new report from Check Point Research, the cloud-native Linux malware framework comprises an array of custom loaders, implants, rootkits and modular plugins that enable its operators to augment or change its capabilities over time, as well as pivot when objectives change. It was first discovered in December 2025.

#linux #voidlink #malware #cloud #container #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news

⁉️"The framework includes multiple cloud-focused capabilities and modules, and is engineered to operate reliably in cloud and container environments over extended periods," the IT-Security company said in an analysis. "VoidLink's architecture is extremely flexible and highly modular, centered around a custom Plugin API that appears to be inspired by Cobalt Strike's Beacon Object Files (BOF) approach. This API is used in more than 30+ plug-in modules available by default."⁉️

👾The findings reflect a shift in threat actors focus from Windows to Linux systems that have emerged as the bedrock of cloud services and critical operations. Actively maintained and evolving, VoidLink is assessed to be the handiwork of China-affiliated threat actors.👾[ImageSource: Check Point Research]

VoidLink High Level Overview.

👾A cloud-first implant written in the Zig programming language, the toolkit can detect major cloud environments, viz. Amazon Web Services [AWS], Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Alibaba and Tencent, and adapt its behavior if it recognizes that it's running within a Docker container or a Kubernetes pod. It can also gather credentials associated with cloud environments and popular source code version control systems such as Git.👾

<https://ziglang.org/>

⁉️The targeting of these services is an indication that VoidLink is likely engineered to target software developers, either with an intent to steal sensitive data or leverage the access to conduct supply chain attacks.⁉️

Some of its other capabilities are listed below:

• Rootkit-like features using LD_PRELOAD, loadable kernel module [LKM], and eBPF to hide its processes based on the Linux kernel version
• An in-memory plugin system for extending functionality
• Support for varied command-and-control [C2] channels, such as HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, ICMP and DNS tunneling
• Form a peer-to-peer [P2P] or mesh-style network between compromised hosts

Builder Panel to create customized Versions of VoidLink.

A Chinese web-based dashboard that allows the attackers to remotely control the implant, create bespoke versions on the fly, manage files, tasks and plugins, and carry out different stages of the attack cycle right from reconnaissance and persistence to lateral movement and defense evasion by wiping traces of malicious activity.

⁉️VoidLink supports 37 plugins that span anti-forensics, reconnaissance, containers, privilege escalation, lateral movement and other, transforming it into a full-fledged post-exploitation framework:⁉️

• Anti-forensics, to wipe or edit logs and shell history based on keywords and perform timestomping of files to hinder analysis
• Cloud, to facilitate Kubernetes and Docker discovery and privilege-escalation, container escapes, and probes for misconfigurations
• Credential harvesting, to collect credentials and secrets, including SSH keys, git credentials, local password material, browser credentials and cookies, tokens and API keys
• Lateral movement, to spread laterally using an SSH-based worm
• Persistence, to help establish persistence via dynamic linker abuse, cron jobs and system services
• Recon, to gather detailed system and environment information

👾Describing it as "impressive" and "far more advanced than typical Linux malware," Check Point said VoidLink features a core orchestrator component that handles C2 communications and task execution.👾

:windows: Sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that! PCs refuse to Shut Down after Microsoft Patch.

In a notice on its Windows release health dashboard, Microsoft confirmed that some PCs running Windows 11 23H2 might fail to power down properly after installing the latest security updates. Instead of slipping into shutdown or hibernation, affected machines stay stubbornly awake, draining batteries and ignoring shutdown like they have a mind of their own and don't want to experience temporary non-existence.

⚠️For now, admins and long-suffering Windows users are left watching Microsoft's status pages and waiting for patches to the patches — hoping their machines eventually go to sleep.⚠️

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wind

#microsoft #windows #os #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news

⁉️The bug appears to be tied to Secure Launch, a security feature that uses virtualization-based protections to ensure only trusted components load during boot. On systems with Secure Launch enabled, attempts to shut down, restart, or hibernate after applying the January patches may fail to complete. From the user's perspective, everything looks normal — until the PC keeps running anyway, refusing to be denied life.⁉️

Microsoft says that entering the command "shutdown /s /t 0" at the command prompt will, in fact, force your PC to turn off, whether it wants to or not. "Until this issue is resolved, please ensure you save all your work, and shut down when you are done working on your device to avoid the device running out of power instead of hibernating," Microsoft notice.

👾The firm hasn't offered much in the way of technical detail, nor has it put numbers on how many devices are affected. There's also no fix yet, with Redmond vaguely promising to "release a resolution for this issue in a future update." But isn't that just what a sentient bot might say?👾
