I dislike conflict.
Why can we all just get along?

Study Jujitsu. Buy Bitcoin. Simplify your life.
Lord God, heavenly Father, rule and govern our hearts by your Holy Spirit, that we may not, hear your Word in vain and become so devoted to worldly things that we forget eternal things, but that we serve those who are in need and not defile ourselves with carousing and pride.

Is it me, but are dollhouses with male dolls just venues to act out scenes of domestic violence?
With all of the disclosure with the alt podcasts (Shawn Ryan, Tucker, Organ, Meagan Kelly, etc) its making me believe these releases are:
1. Timed and coordinated, thus controlled
2. Controlled like a safety valve

Russian hackers spy on Ukraine's aid logistics by taking advantage of email and VPN vulnerabilities
Russia’s hacking crew (yeah, Fancy Bear—those perennial internet gremlins—also called APT28 or BlueDelta if you wanna get fancy about it) has been on a tear since 2022. Every big dog in Western logistics and tech? Pretty much getting poked and prodded by these state-backed cyber goons. But this isn’t just some kids playing CTF; this is stovepiped straight from the Russian GRU’s 85th Service Center, Military Unit 26165, which honestly sounds like a villain’s lair in a budget Bond flick.
Who’re they gunning for? Anyone helping Ukraine—think companies shuffling aid, moving trucks, running cargos, or even fiddling with the tech behind it all. Call it cyber harassment with extra bureaucracy: Australia, Canada, half of Europe, and Uncle Sam all dropped a joint advisory about it. No one’s mincing words—they’re basically like, “If you’re logistics, congrats, you’re a target.”
And these guys aren’t reinventing the wheel here. It’s a greatest hits mix of old hacking tricks: hitting IP cameras like they’re unlocking cheat codes, password spraying, making fake login screens, blowing up Microsoft Exchange mailbox permissions, the whole shebang. Oh, and if you’re running Roundcube or Zimbra for your emails in, say, Eastern Europe? You might as well roll out the red carpet for them, ‘cause they found exploits for that too. ESET even named their latest sideshow “Operation RoundPress,” which, for once, sounds cooler than the actual hack.
The scale? We’re talking dozens of orgs in Bulgaria, Ukraine, France, the U.S.—plus a smattering of other countries where, let’s face it, everyone’s probably had enough of Russian cyber nonsense for one lifetime.
How do they get in? Pick-your-poison:
- Guessing passwords ‘til they hit gold (brute-force, baby!).
- Phishing with fake login pages—you know the drill.
- Dropping malware like it’s hot.
- Exploiting “Whoops, sorry, missed that patch” bugs in things like Outlook, Roundcube, WinRAR (yeah, people still use that), and even VPNs.
- SQL injection for added flair.
Once they crash the party, it’s recon time. They poke around, figure out who’s important, maybe the person coordinating donations or running supply lines—they want the inside scoop. For snooping around, they whip out tools with names like Impacket and PsExec—actual nerd stuff. They’ll even tweak mailbox permissions and set up shop for the long haul, quietly siphoning emails like raccoons raiding your garbage.
They’ve also been caught dropping their flavor of malware—HeadLace, MASEPIE (kinda a weird name, but whatever)—just so no one kicks them out too soon. Their style? Not super sophisticated, but wow, is it persistent.
As they loot data, they're not picky—PowerShell, Exchange Web Services, IMAP—whatever gets them the goods. Sometimes, ZIP files, sometimes just straight siphoning from email servers, like digital vampires.
Long story short? Russia’s military-tied hackers are mad they hit a brick wall in Ukraine, so now they’re taking it out on the helpers. Basically, don’t click weird links, patch your stuff, and if you see “Fancy Bear” sniffing around your mailbox, maybe rethink your life choices.

Shawn Ryan is such an op.
No problem listening to him.
I need to know what the CIA is thinking.
