  • New ‘Epsilon Red’ ransomware is targeting [sic] unpatched Microsoft Exchange servers [iophk: Windows TCO]

    First detected by security researchers at Sophos plc and revealed Friday, the ransomware was found targeting [sic] a U.S.-based business in the hospitality industry. Delivered as the final executable payload in a hand-controlled attack, the ransomware demanded a payment of 4.29 bitcoin, valued at the time at about $210,000.

  • FBI says Russia-linked group behind JBS [crack] [iophk: Windows TCO]

    The FBI has identified a Russia-linked group as the entity behind the cyberattack on the meat producing group JBS USA.

  • Russia-Linked Group Behind JBS Attack Revels in ‘Audaciousness’ [iophk: Windows TCO]

    REvil, the Russian-linked [cracking] group the FBI said is responsible for the cyberattack on JBS SA, the largest meat producer in the world, has emerged as one of the most prolific -- and public -- ransomware groups in recent years.

    The [crackers], also known as Sodinokibi, have been at the forefront of the ransomware-as-a-service model of cyberattacks since the group first came to prominence as a security threat in 2019. In this model, [cracking] groups provide malware for others to use in an attack in exchange for a cut of the ransom payments. In order to recruit talent, REvil deposited $1 million in Bitcoin as a way to give potential affiliates peace of mind that they would get paid.

  • FBI names REvil as the group behind meat supplier cyberattack [iophk: Windows TCO]

    The FBI has said that cybercriminal group REvil (also known as Sodinokibi) was behind the recent attack on meat supplier JBS (via The Record). This follows a statement from White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, which indicated that the attack likely came from a Russian-based organization.

  • FBI: JBS ransomware attack was carried out by REvil [iophk: Windows TCO]

    Smilyanets said there hasn’t been any signs of public postings from REvil related to the incident—the group often pressures organizations into paying a demand by exposing some information. “That can indicate that negotiations are underway,” he said.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
