31 dead in Ternopil following Russia’s recent missile strike. Everyone who disgracefully grovels before the aggressor and serves it has blood up to their elbows.

A malicious #TDS campaign uses multi-layer #cloaking measures to evade detection, including anti-bot #CAPTCHA and multiple #fingerprint libraries (ThumbmarkJS & FingerprintJS). Our investigation revealed it distributes #PUP payloads. More info at https://t.co/2NOqK7AZAo

A #phishing campaign we call C2-Sock uses script to #keylog, steal creds & even allow redirects/popups by building a persistent #WebSockets connection. It streams everything you type in the phishing page & fingerprints your device for tracking. Details at https://t.co/o2aBMExsju

All these cities are located in Ukraine’s Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the so-called #Donbas. All these cities have been already reduced to ashes by the Russian army. All these cities were once full of Ukrainians – children, families. Ukrainians whom Russian war criminals have

#AI-powered summary-related Chrome extensions are on the rise, posing serious #DataSecurity risks. We found multiple #BrowserExtensions sending sensitive user data (e.g., email, chat logs) to low-reputation domains. Examples at https://t.co/6C8i4byNrA

President Trump continues to compliment Putin. Putin continues to destroy and kill people. The only language Putin understands is strength. It's time to change policies that aren't working. This is my native Kyiv after the massive shelling of residential areas.

Trump cutting Ukraine's air defenses is intended purely to help Putin inflict a level of civilian atrocities that he assumes will cause Ukraine to surrender.
