My eyes hurt on that website.

Probably the real motive.

“ The incident began from June 2025. Multiple independaent security researchers have assessed that the threat acotor is likely a Chinese state-sponsored group, which would explain the highly selective targeting obseved during the campaign.”

How do they know it was a Chinese group or even a state sponsored one?


They said "likely", so they don't "know." Yours is the wrong question.

The "likely" does give the impression that they have a pretty good idea.

I didn't say that to be pedantic, but to avoid that particular type of asker who isn't actually asking a genuine question here. After listing all the ways that Notepad++ (as an example here) suspects who they suspect, the asker then comes back with "Yeah, but how do you know?", as if that's some sort of gotcha. It's disingenuous. Even if the person I replied to isn't attempting this, I find it good to call out and get people to ask a better question: what's the evidence and why does that evidence point to this conclusion?

Perhaps it's "...because that would explain..."?

By analyzing payloads / C2 address, etc...

Yeah because a state level actor would be completely incapable of false attribution.

With enough effort, anything can be obfuscated. But effort costs money and also state level actors have limited funds and time and want to go home to their families ar some point and if the purpose was to get a message across (don't mess with china, otherwise face the consequences) there is no need to really hide the origin.

> Chinese group

our enemy. It must be Chinese, North Korean or Russian.

> state sponsored one

"our software/our provider is so good that only a state actor can compromise us" (see Microsoft's AD keys hack for details)


When you want to spread jingoist paranoia you can just make stuff up and claim any critique is from said actors.

Great reading for selfhost lovers.

Thanks, indeed I’m a compulsive selfhoster lover =]

The only limitation with this setup is that I can’t self host the blog’s analytics service (umami.is) because obviously a home server not exposed online can’t receive queries from the internet… but I’m just using a PikaPods pod.


Exactly my thoughts. I'll let the hype dust settle before even considering installing this "mold" thing

Having children is the best thing in the world. Stop spreading nonsense propaganda.


Please don't make baseless accusations. If you had actually read the article, you would know that the scientific study described reports a "U-shaped curve" of negative health outcomes as a function of number of children, specifically highlighting the "finding that people who didn’t have children also aged faster and had shorter lifespans."

I suspect that your default assumption may be revealing an internal conflict that, in my experience, many parents seem to navigate at one point or another. Disregarding that and taking the statement at face value, I'm glad that having children is "the best thing in the world" for you and I hope that continues to be true. That said, I'd emphasize that your opinion is unlikely to be shared by everyone on the planet, and the implicit dismissal of other viewpoints as "nonsense" (including the evidence of the peer-reviewed journal paper described in TFA that would probably _bolster_ your assertion) is probably not the best strategy to convince the undecided.

..."not guarantee a specific delivery date. Our current target is Q3 2026"

Let me know when it's ready and there ate some reviews. Paying 9.months in advance, even partially, for a product of some unknown company, seems a bad deal to me.


They are not unknown company. They build and sold "nexdock" using same business model


Being able to see all skills from a provider would help.


Yes, there is a selectionbox for that below of the searchbar


What's your email? lol


More specific:

@OP: If your email is john.smith@gmail.com there are probably a few idiots Jonh Smith out there that don't remember their email and fill your email instead. If your email is ju3hh4y3g79us99fahh0827@gmail.com probably your email is leaked and some idiot is sending fake email for grow hacking or just phishing.


I have a top level email address based on my first.lastname@gmail.com ... but it is an unusual name and LinkedIn / google does not find collisions.
