Seen on Peacemaker's credits. Does anyone know what a "lidar tech" does on a TV show? My first and only guess is that they use lidar to focus the cameras, but don't digital cameras do that more or less automatically? And does this mean that "focus puller" isn't a job anymore?

I need tech help with #Electronics#RetroComputing#RetroConsoles#AtariCartridges
I ordered some multi-cart 2600 PCBs of three sizes. 8x8KB / 4x16KB and 16x4KB.
I foolishly did not check the full BOM on all of them and just assumed they all used standard 74x logic chips but it turns out that two of them need a programmable logic chip. The file is available and I have a programmer but the two options listed are both obsolete.
A web search is useless these days, I tried all sorts of "replacement for...", "alternative to..." and I can't get an answer. I don't know about these chips so I am hoping someone can tell me what alternatives still exist?
Can I use any chip with the correct number of pins and correct speed? What else might I need to consider?

I've had Fedora as my main operating system for 4 years and couldn't be happier!
I only use Windows at work out of necessity, but at home it's 100% free software. LibreOffice has completely replaced Microsoft's Office suite, and honestly, I don't miss it at all.
Who else here made this transition? What was your experience like?
I'm on RedHat->Fedora since roughly 1998.
Not bragging.
The points are:
- It mostly works as needed and intended
- Main troubles are usually external (say dumb/ignorant people in government insisting I'm using wrong OS, or some greedy/ignorant ones in companies insisting same way, etc.)
- And there are other distros! In case one needs something different or more special.
- Freedom!!! To do it my way, yet stay interoperable.

IT threat evolution in Q2 2025. Mobile statistics
IT threat evolution in Q2 2025. Non-mobile statistics
The mobile section of our quarterly cyberthreat report includes statistics on malware, adware, and potentially unwanted software for Android, as well as descriptions of the most notable threats for Android and iOS discovered during the reporting period. The statistics in this report are based on detection alerts from Kaspersky products, collected from users who consented to provide anonymized data to Kaspersky Security Network.
Quarterly figures
According to Kaspersky Security Network, in Q2 2025:
- Our solutions blocked 10.71 million malware, adware, and unwanted mobile software attacks.
- Trojans, the most common mobile threat, accounted for 31.69% of total detected threats.
- Just under 143,000 malicious installation packages were detected, of which:
- 42,220 were mobile banking Trojans;
- 695 packages were mobile ransomware Trojans.
Quarterly highlights
Mobile attacks involving malware, adware, and unwanted software dropped to 10.71 million.
Attacks on users of Kaspersky mobile solutions, Q4 2023 — Q2 2025 (download)
The trend is mainly due to a decrease in the activity of RiskTool.AndroidOS.SpyLoan. These are applications typically associated with microlenders and containing a potentially dangerous framework for monitoring borrowers and collecting their data, such as contacts lists. Curiously, such applications have been found pre-installed on some devices.
In Q2, we found a new malicious app for Android and iOS that was stealing images from the gallery. We were able to determine that this campaign was linked to the previously discovered SparkCat, so we dubbed it SparkKitty.
Fake app store page distributing SparkKitty
Like its “big brother”, the new malware most likely targets recovery codes for crypto wallets saved as screenshots.
Trojan-DDoS.AndroidOS.Agent.a was this past quarter’s unusual discovery. Malicious actors embedded an SDK for conducting dynamically configurable DDoS attacks into apps designed for viewing adult content. The Trojan allows for sending specific data to addresses designated by the attacker at a set frequency. Building a DDoS botnet from mobile devices with adult apps installed may seem like a questionable venture in terms of attack efficiency and power – but apparently, some cybercriminals have found a use for this approach.
In Q2, we also encountered Trojan-Spy.AndroidOS.OtpSteal.a, a fake VPN client that hijacks user accounts. Instead of the advertised features, it uses the Notification Listener service to intercept OTP codes from various messaging apps and social networks, and sends them to the attackers’ Telegram chat via a bot.
Mobile threat statistics
The number of Android malware and potentially unwanted app samples decreased from Q1, reaching a total of 142,762 installation packages.

The distribution of detected installation packages by type in Q2 was as follows:

* Data for the previous quarter may differ slightly from previously published data due to some verdicts being retrospectively revised.
Banking Trojans remained in first place, with their share increasing relative to Q1. The Mamont family continues to dominate this category. In contrast, spy Trojans dropped to fifth place as the surge in the number of APK files for the SMS-stealing Trojan-Spy.AndroidOS.Agent.akg subsided. The number of Agent.amw spyware files, which masquerade as casino apps, also decreased.
RiskTool-type unwanted apps and adware ranked second and third, respectively, while Trojans – with most files belonging to the Triada family – occupied the fourth place.
Share* of users attacked by the given type of malicious or potentially unwanted apps out of all targeted users of Kaspersky mobile products, Q1 — Q2 2025 (download)
* The total may exceed 100% if the same users experienced multiple attack types.
The distribution of attacked users remained close to that of the previous quarter. The increase in the share of backdoors is linked to the discovery of Backdoor.Triada.z, which came pre-installed on devices. As for adware, the proportion of users affected by the HiddenAd family has grown.
TOP 20 most frequently detected types of mobile malware
Note that the malware rankings below exclude riskware or potentially unwanted software, such as RiskTool or adware.

* Unique users who encountered this malware as a percentage of all attacked users of Kaspersky mobile solutions.
The activity of Fakemoney scam apps noticeably decreased in Q2, but they still held the top position. Almost all the other entries on the list are variants of the popular banking Trojan Mamont, pre-installed Trojans like Triada and Dwphon, and modified messaging apps with the Triada Trojan built in (Triada.fe, Triada.gn, Triada.ga, and Triada.gs).
Region-specific malware
This section describes malware types that mostly affected specific countries.
| Verdict | Country* | %** |
| Trojan-Banker.AndroidOS.Coper.c | Türkiye | 98.65 |
| Trojan-Banker.AndroidOS.Coper.a | Türkiye | 97.78 |
| Trojan-Dropper.AndroidOS.Rewardsteal.h | India | 95.62 |

| Trojan.AndroidOS.Piom.bkzj | Uzbekistan | 85.83 |
| Trojan-Dropper.AndroidOS.Pylcasa.c | Brazil | 83.06 |
* The country where the malware was most active.
** Unique users who encountered this Trojan variant in the indicated country as a percentage of all Kaspersky mobile security solution users attacked by the same variant.
In addition to the typical banking Trojans for this category – Coper, which targets users in Türkiye, and Rewatrdsteal, active in India – the list also includes the fake job search apps Fakeapp.hy and Piom.bkzj, which specifically target Uzbekistan. Both families collect the user’s personal data. Meanwhile, new droppers named “Pylcasa” operated in Brazil. They infiltrate Google Play by masquerading as simple apps, such as calculators, but once launched, they open a URL provided by malicious actors – similar to Trojans of the Fakemoney family. These URLs may lead to illegal casino websites or phishing pages.
Mobile banking Trojans
The number of banking Trojans detected in Q2 2025 was slightly lower than in Q1 but still significantly exceeded the figures for 2024. Kaspersky solutions detected a total of 42,220 installation packages of this type.
Number of installation packages for mobile banking Trojans detected by Kaspersky, Q2 2024 — Q2 2025 (download)
The bulk of mobile banking Trojan installation packages still consists of various modifications of Mamont, which account for 57.7%. In terms of the share of affected users, Mamont also outpaced all its competitors, occupying nearly all the top spots on the list of the most widespread banking Trojans.

Conclusion
In Q2 2025, the number of attacks involving malware, adware, and unwanted software decreased compared to Q1. At the same time, Trojans and banking Trojans remained the most common threats, particularly the highly active Mamont family. Additionally, the quarter was marked by the discovery of the second spyware Trojan of 2025 to infiltrate the App Store, along with a fake VPN client stealing OTP codes and a DDoS bot concealed within porn-viewing apps.

Gli aggressori utilizzano Velociraptor per gli attacchi informatici. Rapid7 è al corrente
Gli specialisti della sicurezza di Sophos hanno attirato l’attenzione su un attacco informatico in cui aggressori sconosciuti hanno utilizzato lo strumento forense open source Velociraptor per monitorare gli endpoint .
“In questo incidente, gli aggressori hanno utilizzato uno strumento per scaricare ed eseguire Visual Studio Code con il probabile intento di creare un tunnel verso un server di comando e controllo”, hanno affermato gli esperti della Sophos Counter Threat Unit.
Il rapporto sottolinea che gli aggressori spesso impiegano tattiche di tipo “living-off-the-land” (LotL) e utilizzano legittimi strumenti di monitoraggio e controllo remoto negli attacchi, ma l’uso di Velociraptor segnala un’evoluzione di tali tattiche, in cui il software di risposta agli incidenti viene utilizzato per scopi dannosi.
L’analisi dell’incidente ha mostrato che gli aggressori hanno utilizzato l’utility msiexec di Windows per scaricare un programma di installazione MSI dal dominio Cloudflare Workers, che funge anche da area di staging per altre soluzioni utilizzate dagli hacker, tra cui lo strumento di tunneling Cloudflare e l’utility di amministrazione remota Radmin.
Il file MSI è stato progettato per distribuire Velociraptor, che avrebbe poi comunicato con un altro dominio Cloudflare Workers. L’accesso è stato quindi utilizzato per scaricare Visual Studio Code dallo stesso server di staging utilizzando un comando PowerShell codificato ed eseguirlo con l’opzione di tunneling abilitata per consentire sia l’accesso remoto che l’esecuzione di codice remoto.
Inoltre, è stato osservato che gli aggressori riutilizzavano l’utilità msiexec di Windows per scaricare payload aggiuntivi. “Le organizzazioni dovrebbero monitorare e indagare sull’uso non autorizzato di Velociraptor e considerare l’impiego di tali tattiche come un precursore della distribuzione di ransomware”, avverte Sophos.
In seguito alla pubblicazione di questo rapporto da parte di Sophos, la società di sicurezza Rapid7, che sviluppa Velociraptor, ha pubblicato un white paper che spiega nel dettaglio come le organizzazioni possono rilevare l’abuso di Velociraptor nei loro ambienti.
“Rapid7 è a conoscenza di segnalazioni di abusi dello strumento open source di risposta agli incidenti Velociraptor. Velociraptor è ampiamente utilizzato dai difensori per scopi legittimi di analisi forense digitale e risposta agli incidenti. Ma come molti altri strumenti di sicurezza e amministrazione, può essere utilizzato per scopi dannosi se finisce nelle mani sbagliate”, commentano gli sviluppatori.

Ransomware
Quarterly trends and highlights
Law enforcement success
The alleged malicious actor behind the Black Kingdom ransomware attacks was indicted in the U.S. The Yemeni national is accused of infecting about 1,500 computers in the U.S. and other countries through vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange. He also stands accused of demanding a ransom of $10,000 in bitcoin, which is the amount victims saw in the ransom note. He is also alleged to be the developer of the Black Kingdom ransomware.
A Ukrainian national was extradited to the U.S. in the Nefilim case. He was arrested in Spain in June 2024 on charges of distributing ransomware and extorting victims. According to the investigation, he had been part of the Nefilim Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation since 2021, targeting high-revenue organizations. Nefilim uses the classic double extortion scheme: cybercriminals steal the victim’s data, encrypt it, then threaten to publish it online.
Also arrested was a member of the Ryuk gang, charged with organizing initial access to victims’ networks. The accused was apprehended in Kyiv in April 2025 at the request of the FBI and extradited to the U.S. in June.
A man suspected of being involved in attacks by the DoppelPaymer gang was arrested. In a joint operation by law enforcement in the Netherlands and Moldova, the 45-year-old was arrested in May. He is accused of carrying out attacks against Dutch organizations in 2021. Authorities seized around €84,800 and several devices.
A 39-year-old Iranian national pleaded guilty to participating in RobbinHood ransomware attacks. Among the targets of the attacks, which took place from 2019 to 2024, were U.S. local government agencies, healthcare providers, and non-profit organizations.
Vulnerabilities and attacks
Mass exploitation of a vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver
In May, it was revealed that several ransomware gangs, including BianLian and RansomExx, had been exploiting CVE-2025-31324 in SAP NetWeaver software. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows attackers to upload malicious files without authentication, which can lead to a complete system compromise.
Attacks via the SimpleHelp remote administration tool
The DragonForce group compromised an MSP provider, attacking its clients with the help of the SimpleHelp remote administration tool. According to researchers, the attackers exploited a set of vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-57727, CVE-2024-57728, CVE-2024-57726) in the software to launch the DragonForce ransomware on victims’ hosts.
Qilin exploits vulnerabilities in Fortinet
In June, news broke that the Qilin gang (also known as Agenda) was actively exploiting critical vulnerabilities in Fortinet devices to infiltrate corporate networks. The attackers allegedly exploited the vulnerabilities CVE-2024-21762 and CVE-2024-55591 in FortiGate software, which allowed them to bypass authentication and execute malicious code remotely. After gaining access, the cybercriminals encrypted data on systems within the corporate network and demanded a ransom.
Exploitation of a Windows CLFS vulnerability
April saw the detection of attacks that leveraged CVE-2025-29824, a zero-day vulnerability in the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) driver, a core component of the Windows OS. This vulnerability allows an attacker to elevate privileges on a compromised system. Researchers have linked these incidents to the RansomExx and Play gangs. The attackers targeted companies in North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East.
The most prolific groups
This section highlights the most prolific ransomware gangs by number of victims added to each group’s DLS during the reporting period. In the second quarter, Qilin (12.07%) proved to be the most prolific group. RansomHub, the leader of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025, seems to have gone dormant since April. Clop (10.83%) and Akira (8.53%) swapped places compared to the previous reporting period.

Number of new variants
In the second quarter, Kaspersky solutions detected three new families and 1,702 new ransomware variants. This is significantly fewer than in the previous reporting period. The decrease is linked to the renewed decline in the count of the Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Gen verdicts, following a spike last quarter.

Attacks on macOS
Among the threats to macOS, one of the biggest discoveries of the second quarter was the PasivRobber family. This spyware consists of a huge number of modules designed to steal data from QQ, WeChat, and other messaging apps and applications that are popular mainly among Chinese users. Its distinctive feature is that the spyware modules get embedded into the target process when the device goes into sleep mode.
Closer to the middle of the quarter, several reports (1, 2, 3) emerged about attackers stepping up their activity, posing as victims’ trusted contacts on Telegram and convincing them to join a Zoom call. During or before the call, the user was persuaded to run a seemingly Zoom-related utility, but which was actually malware. The infection chain led to the download of a backdoor written in the Nim language and bash scripts that stole data from browsers.

Attacks via web resources
The statistics in this section are based on detection verdicts by Web Anti-Virus, which protects users when suspicious objects are downloaded from malicious or infected web pages. Cybercriminals create malicious pages with a goal in mind. Websites that host user-generated content, such as message boards, as well as compromised legitimate sites, can become infected.
Countries that served as sources of web-based attacks: TOP 10
This section gives the geographical distribution of sources of online attacks blocked by Kaspersky products: web pages that redirect to exploits; sites that host exploits and other malware; botnet C2 centers, and the like. Any unique host could be the source of one or more web-based attacks.
To determine the geographic source of web attacks, we matched the domain name with the real IP address where the domain is hosted, then identified the geographic location of that IP address (GeoIP).
In the second quarter of 2025, Kaspersky solutions blocked 471,066,028 attacks from internet resources worldwide. Web Anti-Virus responded to 77,371,384 unique URLs.

Local threats
Statistics on local infections of user computers are an important indicator. They include objects that penetrated the target computer by infecting files or removable media, or initially made their way onto the computer in non-open form. Examples of the latter are programs in complex installers and encrypted files.
Data in this section is based on analyzing statistics produced by anti-virus scans of files on the hard drive at the moment they were created or accessed, and the results of scanning removable storage media. The statistics are based on detection verdicts from the On-Access Scan (OAS) and On-Demand Scan (ODS) modules of File Anti-Virus. This includes malware found directly on user computers or on connected removable media: flash drives, camera memory cards, phones, and external hard drives.
In the second quarter of 2025, our File Anti-Virus recorded 23,260,596 malicious and potentially unwanted objects.
Countries and territories where users faced the highest risk of local infection
