TechnologyHackers are actively exploiting a recently fixed vulnerability in the WordPress Advanced Custom Fields plugin roughly 24 hours after a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit was made public.
The vulnerability in question is CVE-2023-30777, a high-severity reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to steal sensitive information and escalate their privileges on impacted WordPress sites.
The flaw was discovered by website security company Patchstack on May 2nd, 2023, and was disclosed along with a proof-of-concept exploit on May 5th, a day after the plugin vendor had released a security update with version 6.1.6.
As the Akamai Security Intelligence Group (SIG) reported yesterday, starting May 6th, 2023, they observed significant scanning and exploitation activity using the sample code provided in Patchstack’s write-up.
“The Akamai SIG analyzed XSS attack data and identified attacks starting within 24 hours of the exploit PoC being made public,” .
“What is particularly interesting about this is the query itself: The threat actor copied and used the Patchstack sample code from the write-up.”
Considering that over 1.4 million websites using the impacted WordPress plugin have not upgraded to the latest version, based on wordpress.org stats, the attackers have quite a large attack surface to explore.
The XSS flaw requires the involvement of a logged-in user who has access to the plugin to run malicious code on their browser that will give the attackers high-privileged access to the site.
The malicious scans indicate that this mitigation factor doesn’t dishearten threat actors who trust that they can overcome it through basic trickery and social engineering.
Also, the exploit works on default configurations of the impacted plugin versions, which increases the chances of success for the threat actors without requiring extra effort.
WordPress site administrators using the vulnerable plugins are urged to immediately apply the available patch to protect from ongoing scanning and exploitation activity.
The recommended action is to upgrade ‘Advanced Custom Fields’ free and pro plugins to version 5.12.6 (backported) and 6.1.6.

PoliticsCIA seeks Russian spies. The aim is to increase efforts to persuade citizens in Russia to reveal their country’s secrets. For this, the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States of America published a video in Telegram addressed to all people disappointed by their president, Vladimir Putin.
The material was then shared on other platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The agency suggests that the Russians could act to improve things by passing on information to the CIA but remaining patriotic.
In the published video, instructions are given for Russians to use the Internet search program “Tor” to access the “dark web” and other secure tools to communicate.
“The CIA wants to learn the truth about Russia, and we are looking for reliable people who can tell us this truth,” says the narrator in Russian during the footage.
The hope of the American agency is to get in touch with people who work in the intelligence, diplomacy, science and technology sectors, but without excluding communication with politicians and other citizens who live and work in Russia.

TechnologyEerie mysterious sounds were recorded by the microphones of giant solar balloons that were sent for research purposes to a height of 21 kilometers in the stratosphere.
The stratosphere is the second layer of Earth’s atmosphere, and its lowest level includes the ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, according to NASA.
Daniel Bowman, principal scientist at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, had aspired since graduate school to explore the soundscape of the stratosphere when he came across the low-frequency sounds produced by volcanoes. These are the so-called infrasounds, the deafening sounds produced by tsunamis, storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, avalanches that are not perceived by the human ear.
Bowman and his friends first attached cameras to weather balloons to take “pictures of the dark sky and Earth,” so they developed their solar balloon.
Bowman suggested installing infrasound recorders to record the “howls” of volcanoes. He and his advisor, Jonathan Lilas of the University of North Carolina, realized that “no one had tried to put microphones in stratospheric balloons for half a century,” so they decided to explore the possibilities of these new sensors that can fly in double of commercial aircraft altitude.
“In our solar balloons, we have recorded surface and subsurface chemical explosions, lightning, crashing ocean waves, propeller planes, city sounds, suborbital rocket launches, earthquakes, possibly commercial trains and airplanes. We have also recorded sounds of undetermined origin,” notes Bowman.
The scientists’ findings were described at the 184th Conference of the Acoustical Society of America in Chicago.
A recording shared by Bowman from a NASA balloon orbiting Antarctica contains echoes of crashing ocean waves (sounds that sound like continuous breathing). But other sounds, such as clicks and rustles, have baffled scientists as they cannot pinpoint their source.
According to Bowman, between 2016 and last month, his team launched dozens of solar balloons (equipped with microbarometers) to collect infrasound recordings.

LifeStyleThree million views on YouTube could cost 20 years in prison for pilot Trevor Jacob, who willingly crashed his plane in November 2021 and then published the video on the platform to increase clicks. He is also accused of obstructing investigations.
In November 2021, Jacob took off in a small single-engine plane equipped with cameras from Lompoc Airport in Southern California. After 35 minutes of flight, he parachuted, filming himself with a video camera, into the Los Padres National Forest before the plane crashed.
After touching down, the pilot returned to the crash site and found the video, which was later published on YouTube. The video quickly reached 3 million views, but also raised the first suspicions of the authorities.
In fact, Jacob hadn’t tried to call air traffic control, nor had he tried to restart the engine or look for a safe place to land.
Reporting to the investigators, the man had initially said that the crash was due to a loss of engine power. He also said he did not know where the debris had gone. However, the federal investigation revealed that after several weeks, Jacob and a friend returned to the crash site and together they towed the crashed plane to Santa Barbara County, where he had left it in a hangar and then torn it apart and dumped it in dumpsters. of trash to destroy evidence.
Jacob admitted he intended to obstruct the investigation by disposing of the waste, a crime that carries up to 20 years in prison, and that he made the video to make money as part of a partnership with a company. He also admitted he lied when he told investigators the plane had a technical problem. In April 2022, the Federal Aviation Administration revoked his pilot’s license.

SportsBoth fighters, world champions each, want the fight, the return fight, yet there is a difference of opinion as far as at what weight the fight should be fought at. We’re talking Dmitry Bivol- Canelo Alvarez II. Bivol as we know, decisioned Canelo last May, the Russian retaining his WBA light heavyweight title with the big win. Now, Canelo wants revenge, the return fight to also take place at 175 pounds.
Canelo called out Bivol after his 12 round decision win over a tough and durable John Ryder: “I want the same terms, the same everything as the last fight,” Canelo said. “The goal is to have the rematch with Bivol in the same terms.”
This is seen by all fans as an honourable move by Canelo. There was talk of Canelo “demanding” the rematch be at 168, this in an effort at “draining” Bivol. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. It is Bivol who wants the rematch to be down at 168 pounds: “We fought at 175 and I beat him,” Bivol said on social media. “So now I’m willing to take a risk and go to 168 because it’s a motivation for me to try to fight for all the titles at 168….Why should I even do the rematch at 175? What is the challenge or what is the motivation for me if I’ve already beaten him at that weight class?”
Nobody really saw this coming, did they? Could it be that the argument over which weight the rematch is fought at proves so troublesome that there is no rematch? Let’s hope not. But Bivol has made his position clear, as has Canelo.
Which reigning world champion will budge, if either? Bivol wants more belts, and Canelo holds the lot at 168, and this is clearly something that motivates Bivol. Yet Canelo, to his credit, wants no excuses in the rematch, with him wanting to get redemption by beating Bivol at his natural weight. So what gives? Who gives? At what weight do YOU think Bivol-Canelo II should be fought at? If the rematch does happen this year, it’s likely it will go down in Las Vegas in September. Will it be repeat or revenge?

TravelTourists and residents of Budva who move through the streets in the old town area with beach clothes or without clothes will be fined 200 euros. This is stated in the Decision of the Municipal Assembly of Budva on municipal order.
“The fines are more rigorous compared to the sanctions that were imposed in the previous decision, and the police of the municipality of Budva is responsible for respecting this provision”, clarified the mayor Miloš Tajić.
With the approval of this decision in the parliament, Budva joined Split and Dubrovnik, which imposed fines on “naked” tourists.
As of August 2020, the city of Dubrovnik has had a similar decision on the order. Tourists in beachwear walking along Stradun and other parts of Dubrovnik will pay inspectors a fine of 130 euros.
At the beginning of this year in Split, a new decision on the order came into force, by means of which fines higher than 150 euros were imposed for violators.

SportsInter has taken a safe step towards the Champions League final, as it defeated Milan 2-0 in the first leg of the semi-final.
Zikaltri started the meeting at a high pace, while the Reds and Blacks were very sleepy and conceded two quick goals, first with Dzeko and then with the Armenian Mikitarian.
The following minutes, until the referee’s final whistle, were more or less the same. Inter defended well and tried to take a risk with a counterattack, while Milan almost never managed to risk the opponent’s goal.
Now, with a two-goal difference, Inzaghi’s team goes very quietly to the return match next Tuesday.

TechnologyElon Musk has used his social platform to attack WhatsApp after news broke that the app owned by Mark Zuckerberg “listens” to its users.
Twitter’s CEO said the messaging app “can’t be trusted,” responding to a user’s post that WhatsApp accesses users’ microphones while they sleep.
This is the second time in a few weeks that the Tesla and Twitter billionaire has accused his rival Zuckerberg. Recently, he said that his rival is supporting the Democrats through campaign donations.
Musk’s latest statement came in response to a photo shared by Foad Dabiri, which showed how WhatsApp’s microphone was turned on nine times between 4:20 and 6:53 a.m. while he was asleep.
WhatsApp responded to the issue on its Twitter account, stating that the Dabir incident “is a bug on Android devices”.
But the problem has been going on for months. It turns out that the incident is not limited as many WhatsApp users have reported seeing the microphone activated in the background over the past month and even earlier.
