Fornitore italiano di spyware collegato agli attacchi zero-day su Chrome
Una vulnerabilità zero-day in Google Chrome, sfruttata nell'operazione ForumTroll all'inizio di quest'anno, ha diffuso malware collegato al fornitore italiano di spyware Memento Labs, nato dopo che IntheCyber Group ha acquisito la famigerata Hacking Team.
L'operazione ForumTroll è stata scoperta da Kaspersky a marzo. La campagna ha preso di mira organizzazioni russe - media, università, centri di ricerca, organizzazioni governative e istituzioni finanziarie - con inviti ben congegnati al forum Primakov Readings che contenevano un link dannoso.
Era sufficiente caricare il link in qualsiasi browser web basato su Chromium per infettare il sistema informatico. I ricercatori di Kaspersky hanno affermato che la distribuzione del malware è stata effettuata sfruttando CVE-2025-2783, una vulnerabilità zero-day di tipo sandbox escape nel browser Chrome.

In 'Fight Oligarchy,' Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for a political revolution
NPR's Leila Fadel speaks with Sen. Bernie Sanders about his book, "Fight Oligarchy," which argues oligarchic economic and political control has left millions of Americans struggling....
FADEL: This book is a pocket-size version of a tour called Fight Oligarchy that you went on in mostly Republican or a lot of Republican leaning districts. And it is a call to action. You call for political revolution. But what does that look like for Americans who are watching more and more violent ICE raids, these flurry of court decisions over what President Trump is doing or not doing, a government shutdown, a deadlock in Washington? That can feel very helpless for Americans who have no control over Washington and politicians here.
SANDERS: I think you hit the nail on the head. I think people are feeling helpless, deeply worried about the future and whether their kids will have an even lower standard of living than they do, and they want to know what we can do. And when I talk about the political revolution, it's - yes, it means, very importantly getting involved in the political process. But it's not just being involved in, quote-unquote, "political activities." We're seeing at the grassroots level, if not at Washington, at the grassroots level, a lot of union organizing. You can stand up and form a union. If you're worried about the quality of education that your kids are getting, get involved now. Work with the teachers. Improve education. We are a nation that, by and large, believes in democracy, believes in justice, understands that climate change is not a hoax but an existential threat to our world. So the message is break out of your comfort zone, do what you didn't do yesterday, and get involved in one way or another.

Will Trump’s Tariffs Survive Supreme Court’s ‘Major Questions’ Test?
The justices used the doctrine, a judicially created method of reading statutes, to thwart several major Biden programs.

The Supreme Court used the “major questions doctrine” to reject much of the Biden administration’s agenda, including its efforts to address climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic and student debt. The court’s commitment to the doctrine will be tested next week when it hears arguments about President Trump’s tariffs program.
The doctrine requires Congress to use plain and direct language to authorize sweeping economic actions by the executive branch. The 1977 law that Mr. Trump is relying on, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, might seem to fail that test, as it does not feature the word “tariffs” or similar terms like “duties,” “customs,” “taxes” or “imposts.”
Nor is there any question that the tariffs will have vast economic consequences, measured in the trillions of dollars. The sums involved are far larger than the roughly $500 billion at issue in President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s student loan forgiveness program, which Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing for the majority, called “staggering by any measure.”
t seems poised to rule in President Trump’s favor on whether he can fire government officials for no reason, a leading originalist scholar has issued a provocative dissent.

Academic boycotts against Israel have tripled in one-year span: Report
The Association of University Heads in Israel has recorded over 1,000 incidents of academic boycotts over the last two years, three times the total as of a year ago.
Israel's Haaretz daily reported on Monday that the incidents included Israeli researchers who encountered refusals to cooperate with them or invite them to conferences, refusals by overseas researchers to come to the occupied territories, the cessation of student exchange programs, refusals to conduct peer reviews, and delays in the publication of articles.
The report came at a time when a growing number of universities, academic institutions, and scholarly bodies across the world are cutting links with Israeli academia due to the regime’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
It quoted senior Israeli academics as saying that their universities are looking into forging alternative ties with institutions in Eastern Europe and Asia if Israeli-led research is pushed out of Western Europe.
It also echoed fears that Israeli researchers may be forced to leave the occupied lands to avoid harm to their work.
"Research in Israel … is in danger of collapsing," one academic warned.
Professor Ariel Porat, president of Tel Aviv University, said, "We're in the worst situation, from the standpoint of the academic boycott, that we have been in at any time over the last two years.”
Meanwhile, Milette Shamir, Tel Aviv University's deputy president for international affairs, said there was a rise in the number of academic boycotts against Israel even during Gaza ceasefire negotiations, and even after the genocide ended.
"In the United States, there are a lot of faculty members who still refuse to maintain working relations with Israeli researchers,” she added.
"And in Europe, the situation is even worse. There, the boycott is expanding fast. The main victims are younger researchers. This is long-term damage."
The report said that the hidden boycott of Israel is much broader than overt statements or actions against Israeli academics.
It further said Israeli academics criticize the Tel Aviv regime for doing nothing about the academic boycott.
"We've heard from cabinet representatives that they deliberately won't help us, because we're leftists,” an academic said.
Israel unleashed its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out the historic Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the usurping entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Israel accepted a Gaza ceasefire deal after it failed to achieve its declared objectives of eliminating Hamas and freeing all captives, despite killing 68,527 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 170,395 others, according to the health ministry of Gaza.
Over the past two years, nearly 40 overseas universities have announced that they are ending cooperation with Israeli institutions either completely or partially.
Stephanie Adam of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel said Israeli academic institutions are complicit in the regime’s “decades-long regime of military occupation, settler colonial apartheid and now genocide,” adding there is “a moral and legal obligation for universities to end ties with complicit Israeli universities”.

How “Neutrality” And “Free Speech” Become Excuses For Driving Out The People You Claim To Value
Mike Brock’s piece on Sequoia Capital last week laid out a pretty damning case study: a well-respected COO complains about a partner’s Islamophobic posts, senior leadership invokes “institutional neutrality” and declines to act, she resigns, he stays because he made them billions on SpaceX. Brock correctly calls this out as a choice, not neutrality—a calculation about whose value to the firm matters more.The thing that struck me about Brock’s piece is that it highlights how there’s a broader pattern here: institutional cowardice from organizations that spout high-minded ideals as a shield to explain their refusal to make a clear decision, while ignoring that doing so is a very real choice with very real consequences.
That’s worth highlighting, because we keep seeing it play out in nearly identical ways. Whether it’s a venture capital firm or a social media platform, the playbook is the same: invoke “neutrality” or “free speech” as a shield, refuse to take a clear stance on bigoted behavior, and then act shocked when the people being targeted decide they don’t want to stick around.
This is the Nazi bar problem, and it keeps happening because people in positions of power either don’t understand it or don’t want to.
We head off into an excursion about paid blogging platforms ...
Sequoia took the cowardly way out. It made a choice, but it wouldn’t own it, just like Substack refuses to own its pro-Nazi position. It pretends it doesn’t by saying “we’re staying neutral.” But their version of “staying neutral” and “supporting free speech” is really “bigotry and hatred are welcome” and then, what follows naturally is “the targets of bigotry and hatred must leave.”And it’s the exact same choice Substack made. When [CEO Chris] Best refused to answer Nilay’s questions, he was saying: we value the revenue from writers who publish bigoted content more than we value the writers and readers who don’t want to be associated with that content.
Just as Balbale felt the need to leave Sequoia, a ton of Substack’s top writers left that platform. Joe Posnanski, Casey Newton, Marisa Kabas, Ryan Broderick, Molly White, Ken White, Audrey Watters, Mark DeLong, and many others have left Substack, with many of them pointing out that Substack’s stance on Nazis makes them feel unwelcome (for what it’s worth, many are also noting they make more money on other platforms).
Hmm. More money, fewer Nazis seems a decent tradeoff.
