Threat Source ☛ Threat actors use copyright infringement phishing lure to deploy infostealers
After analysis, we discovered that the Rhadamanthys loader employs several sophisticated techniques to ensure its persistence and evasion. Initially, the loader copies itself and writes the file to “C:\Users\[user]\Documents\lumuiUpdater\ffUpdaar.exe”. In order to avoid detection by antivirus programs and sandbox environments, it expands the file size to over 700 MB. This significant increase in file size is intended to bypass heuristic and signature-based detection mechanisms commonly used by security products, which may struggle to process such large files effectively.

Michael Kjörling ☛ Prefix-agnostic IPv6 address filtering in Linux nftables
I don’t recall where I saw this, but it’s a useful trick in some situations.
With IPv6, ISPs are supposed to assign each end site a prefix (usually somewhere between a /48 if you are lucky; perhaps more realistically a /56; and, if they are cheapskates who try to get away with as little as they can, a /64), rather than specific addresses (in IPv6 terms, a /128). Within this prefix, addresses are then assigned locally out of a /64 subnet selected by the customer from within the upstream delegation. (In other words, in IPv6 it is recommended that each end site receives several /64 subnets’ worth of unique, globally routable address space for use at the customer’s discretion.)
