∗∗∗ How typosquatting tricked me (a bit) ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Typosquatting is a popular method using similarly looking names to draw people into malicious content – such as phishing websites or fake software packages. It leverages our “brain optimization” that matches what we see with what we already know – even if it’s not exactly the same. I haven’t installed any shady software, but it’s still a good example how easily our brain could be used against us by utilizing our biases.

∗∗∗ Aisuru Botnet Shifts from DDoS to Residential Proxies ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Aisuru, the botnet responsible for a series of record-smashing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks this year, recently was overhauled to support a more low-key, lucrative and sustainable business: Renting hundreds of thousands of infected Internet of Things (IoT) devices to proxy services that help cybercriminals anonymize their traffic. Experts say a glut of proxies from Aisuru and other sources is fueling large-scale data harvesting efforts tied to various artificial intelligence (AI) projects, helping content scrapers evade detection by routing their traffic through residential connections that appear to be regular Internet users.

∗∗∗ Microsoft WSUS Remote Code Execution (CVE-2025-59287) Actively Exploited in the Wild (Updated October 28) ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
On Oct. 14, 2025, a critical, unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability was identified in Microsoft's Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), a core enterprise component for patch management. Microsoft's initial patch during the October Patch Tuesday did not fully address the flaw, necessitating an emergency out-of-band security update released Oct. 23, 2025. Within hours of the emergency update, Unit 42 and other security researchers observed active exploitation in the wild. The combination of a remotely exploitable, unauthenticated RCE in a core infrastructure service, coupled with observed active exploitation in the wild, represents a severe and time-sensitive risk.

∗∗∗ Friends don’t let friends reuse IVs ∗∗∗

If you’ve encountered cryptography software, you’ve probably heard the advice to never use an IV (initial value) twice—in fact, that’s where the other common name for that concept, nonce (number used once), comes from. Depending on the cryptography involved, a reused nonce can reveal encrypted messages, or even leak your secret key! But common knowledge may not cover every possible way to accidentally reuse nonces. Sometimes, the techniques that are supposed to prevent nonce reuse have subtle flaws.
