According to a DOJ press release, the FBI was able to delete the Chinese-used PlugX malware from “approximately 4,258 U.S.-based computers and networks.”

Details:

To retrieve information from and send commands to the hacked machines, the malware connects to a command-and-control server that is operated by the hacking group. According to the FBI, at least 45,000 IP addresses in the US had back-and-forths with the command-and-control server since September 2023.

It was that very server that allowed the FBI to finally kill this pesky bit of malicious software. First, they tapped the know-how of French intelligence agencies, which had recently discovered a technique for getting PlugX to self-destruct. Then, the FBI gained access to the hackers’ command-and-control server and used it to request all the IP addresses of machines that were actively infected by PlugX. Then it sent a command via the server that causes PlugX to delete itself from its victims’ computers.

The title is a bit blick-batey as it implies the FBI did it directly to said computers.

As the title says.
pacman -Q lists only name and version;
pacman -Qi does have a "Packager" field, but i think it's not the same thing;
pacman -Qs seems to be what i want (if local means "all installed packages atm") but it's all prefixed by local/ instead of repo name like mingw32/ which is what i want.

I'm using MSYS2 in windows.

My Win10 work laptop has a network share of a remote windows server. I access it everyday. If i change passwords, i have to remap the share.

I have a linux vm that does the builds for my project. It too has a mounted directory mapped to that remote windows share, using my credentials.

I tried mapping the share in another linux vm but got errors so ended up quitting as it wasn't that important.

However, now i can't access said share in any device, by name or IP address. WTF happened?

The mount command i use in linux is mount -t cifs -o rw,relatime,vers=default,cache=strict,username=my.username,domain=,uid=118,noforceuid,gid=130,noforcegid,addr=10.10.10.10,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1 //10.10.10.10/dir1/dir2 /media/remoteshare, the UID/GID are of the user that runs the builds.

I'd get having errors on mounting the remote share, but i'd expect that to be limited to the local computer i was trying to mount on, not that it would propagate to any device that has this share mapped!

...surprising no one...

The second step, which we still need to evaluate because some companies want it, and others are more hesitant, is to allow Anatel to have access to the core routers to place a direct order on the router

I like the clarification:

Let me also touch this subject while talking security problems. This bug, the oldest so far in curl history, was a plain logic error and would not have been avoided had we used another language than C.

Otherwise, about 40% of all security problems in curl can be blamed on us using C instead of a memory-safe language. 50% of the high/critical severity ones.

Almost all of those C mistakes were done before there even existed a viable alternative language – if that even exists now.

Apple has become aware of a security flaw that could let hackers take control of a user’s iPhone or iPad if they visit a harmful website.

Maybe i'm reading this wrong but it doesn't seem to be cryptocurrency-specific:

Jeremiah O’Connor, CTO and co-founder of crypto cybersecurity firm Trugard, told Decrypt that “attackers could access sensitive data like private keys or passwords” stored in their browser, enabling crypto theft if the user’s device remained unpatched.
