​Hackers have used new GodLoader malware exploiting the capabilities of the widely used Godot game engine to evade detection and infect over 17,000 systems in just three months. As Check Point Research found while investigating the attacks, threat actors can use this malware loader to target gamers across all major platforms, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It's also used to leverage Godot's flexibility and its GDScript scripting language capabilities to execute arbitrary code and bypass detection systems using the game engine .pck files, which package game assets, to embed harmful scripts. Once loaded, the maliciously crafted files trigger malicious code on the victims' devices, enabling attackers to steal credentials or download additional payloads, including the XMRig crypto miner. This miner malware's configuration was hosted on a private Pastebin file uploaded in May, which was visited 206,913 times throughout the campaign. "Since at least June 29, 2024, cybercriminals have been taking advantage of Godot Engine to execute crafted GDScript code which triggers malicious commands and delivers malware. This technique has remained undetected by most antivirus tools on VirusTotal, possibly infecting more than 17,000 machines in just a few months," according to Check Point . "Godot has a vibrant and growing community of developers who value its open-source nature and powerful capabilities. Over 2,700 developers contributed to the Godot gaming engine," while "on platforms like Discord, YouTube, and other social media platforms, the Godot engine has around 80,000 followers who stay updated on the latest news." ​The attackers delivered the GodLoader malware through the Stargazers Ghost Network , a malware Distribution-as-a-Service (DaaS) that masks its activities using seemingly legitimate GitHub repositories. Between September and October 2024, they used over 200 repositories controlled by over 225 Stargazer Ghost accounts to deploy the malware to targets' systems, exploiting potential victims' trust in open-source platforms and seemingly legitimate software repositories. Throughout the campaign, Check Point detected four separate attack waves against developers and gamers between September 12 and October 3, enticing them to download infected tools and games. While the security researchers only discovered GodLoader samples targeting Windows systems, they also developed GDScript proof-of-concept exploit code showing how easily the malware can be adapted to attack Linux and macOS systems. Stargazer Goblin , the threat actor behind the Stargazers Ghost Network DaaS platform used in these attacks, was first observed by Check Point promoting this malware distribution service on the dark web in June 2023. However, it has likely been active since at least August 2022, earning over $100,000 since this service was launched. The Stargazers Ghost Network uses over 3,000 GitHub "ghost" accounts to create networks of hundreds of repositories that can be used to deliver malware (mainly information stealers like RedLine, Lumma Stealer, Rhadamanthys, RisePro, and Atlantida Stealer) and star, fork, and subscribe to these malicious repos to push them to GitHub's trending section and increase their apparent legitimacy.

Thousands still queuing to vote after Namibia polls close

Lawyers, loyalists and Wall Street executives: a look at who’s on Trump’s tariff teamKashmir, endowed with rich natural resources and breathtaking landscapes, is uniquely positioned to harness renewable energy. With abundant sunlight, flowing rivers, and favorable wind conditions, the region holds vast potential for renewable energy production. Strategic investments in these resources could transform Kashmir into a hub of sustainable economic growth, providing employment opportunities and resilience for its people. My vision for Kashmir centers on seizing this opportunity to foster economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and social progress. Government Policies: Laying the Foundation for Renewable Growth Renewable energy has been identified as a cornerstone of India’s broader energy strategy, and Jammu & Kashmir stands to benefit immensely from this focus. The National Solar Mission aims to capitalize on the region’s abundant sunshine, while the Hydro Energy Policy emphasizes harnessing the power of Kashmir’s rivers for clean electricity. At the state level, initiatives such as subsidies for solar installations and public-private partnerships reflect a commitment to fostering renewable growth and making sustainable energy accessible to all. Despite these policies, there remain challenges in bringing renewable projects to fruition, primarily due to logistical issues and implementation delays. These obstacles, however, are not insurmountable, and with increased focus on localized execution, the potential for renewable energy adoption in Kashmir is boundless. Solar and Hydropower: Pillars of Sustainability in Kashmir The Jammu and Kashmir Energy Development Agency (JAKEDA) has recently taken significant strides towards solarisation by issuing e-tenders for installing 344 MW of solar rooftop plants across the Union Territory. This includes 70 MW for 8,548 government buildings under Capex mode and 238 MW for 9,877 buildings under RESCO mode. To date, 36 MW of solar capacity has already been installed, marking meaningful progress in the region’s renewable energy journey. These developments underscore the region’s potential to lead in solar power production and serve as a model for renewable energy adoption. Hydropower continues to be a cornerstone of Kashmir’s renewable energy potential. The Union Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy announced that the energy deficit in Jammu & Kashmir has dropped from 17.8% in 2018-19 to just 1.5% in 2023-24, thanks to ongoing renewable energy projects. Four major hydroelectric projects—Kiru (624 MW), Ratle (850 MW), Kwar (540 MW), and Karnah (12 MW)—have been launched since 2019, with a combined capacity of 2,026 MW. Over the next 8 to 10 years, an additional 7,000 MW of hydropower capacity is expected to be added, significantly boosting the region’s energy security and economic prospects. The Jammu & Kashmir State Power Development Corporation Limited (JKSPDC) has also generated over 48,808 million units of energy since 2014-15 from 13 hydropower projects. This focus on hydropower is not only transforming the local energy landscape but also creating jobs in economically underdeveloped areas, contributing to the socio-economic development of the region. While existing hydroelectric plants contribute to the local grid, there remains vast potential for expansion. A focus on micro-hydel projects could provide reliable electricity to remote villages, ensuring energy access even in the most isolated areas. Public-private partnerships and investments will be pivotal in scaling these solar and hydro initiatives to meet both local and regional energy needs. E-Rickshaws: Green Mobility and Economic Empowerment One of the initiatives I have spearheaded through KYARI (Kashmir’s Yumberzal Applied Research Institute) is the introduction of e-rickshaws in Srinagar, in collaboration with Stairs – Empowering Youth. This project promotes sustainable transportation while uplifting economically disadvantaged communities. E-rickshaws, powered by renewable energy, provide an eco-friendly alternative to conventional vehicles, significantly reducing emissions and contributing to a cleaner, healthier urban environment. Beyond transportation, the e-rickshaw initiative is a powerful tool for social empowerment, providing livelihoods to economically marginalized individuals. Many young people have seized this opportunity, securing stable incomes while contributing to a greener Kashmir. This initiative is a testament to the dual impact of renewable energy—addressing environmental concerns while driving economic empowerment—and highlights the transformative potential of community-driven green solutions. Empowering Women and Youth: The Heart of Renewable Growth For renewable energy to truly benefit the people of Kashmir, it must be inclusive. At KYARI, we have focused on ensuring that women and youth are at the center of these renewable projects. Empowering women through initiatives like community solar installations is crucial to transforming their economic status and enabling them to participate in the decision-making process within their households. In the past year, we have seen women leading solar initiatives, training others in maintenance, and forming cooperatives to sustain these projects. Similarly, the youth of Kashmir hold immense potential, and renewable energy projects present them with the opportunity to develop skills, engage in meaningful work, and build a sustainable future. From training in solar panel installations to participating in micro-hydel projects, young people have taken charge of their economic destiny, showcasing resilience and creativity. Challenges on the Path to Renewable Energy Adoption While the opportunities are vast, implementing renewable energy projects in Kashmir is not without its challenges. Logistical challenges pose a significant hurdle. The mountainous terrain and difficulty in accessing remote areas make transporting materials and building infrastructure a complex task. Connectivity issues further hinder the implementation of large-scale projects in the valley, particularly in villages that are not easily accessible. Financial challenges are also a key concern. Funding renewable projects requires a concerted effort from both public and private sectors. Limited access to financing options and high upfront costs are significant barriers for smaller players who wish to contribute to the renewable energy landscape. Addressing these financial barriers with subsidies, incentives, and favorable loan schemes is essential to driving growth in this sector. Policy implementation gaps also present a challenge. Although there are several policies aimed at fostering renewable energy, the gap between policy formulation and on-ground implementation often results in stalled projects. Streamlined, effective execution is necessary for these policies to bring about tangible change in the region. Opportunities Ahead: Charting the Course for Renewable Growth The future of renewable energy in Kashmir is filled with opportunities, and the roadmap to realizing this potential will require coordinated efforts. Increased collaboration between the government and private sectors can catalyze the growth of renewable energy, providing the needed capital and technological expertise. Moreover, emerging technologies such as advanced solar panels, efficient battery storage, and smart grid systems hold promise for making renewable energy projects more viable and scalable. Cross-border renewable energy trade could also be a future possibility for Kashmir. Sharing renewable energy resources with neighboring regions would not only bolster local economies but also foster a spirit of cooperation and mutual growth. By investing in research and development, the region can innovate and find unique solutions to the challenges faced in implementing renewable energy. Realizing a Sustainable Future for Kashmir Harnessing renewable energy is an opportunity to transform Kashmir’s economy, environment, and society. It is a path to sustainability, resilience, and inclusive growth. By focusing on solar, hydroelectric, and green transportation initiatives such as e-rickshaws, we can pave the way for a future where Kashmir thrives not only as a beautiful tourist destination but also as a beacon of sustainable development. Together, by working across sectors and embracing innovative approaches, we can make renewable energy the foundation of a prosperous and self-sufficient Kashmir—a place where opportunities are limitless, and progress is shared by all.

Prisoners sustain self-inflicted third-degree burns, calling out against ‘inhumane’ conditions

ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Croatia’s incumbent President Zoran Milanovic won most of the votes in the first round of a presidential election on Sunday, but must face a runoff against a ruling party candidate to secure another five-year term. With nearly all of the votes counted, left-leaning Milanovic won 49% while his main challenger Dragan Primorac, a candidate of the ruling conservative HDZ party, trailed far behind with 19%. Pre-election polls had predicted that the two would face off in the second round on Jan. 12, as none of the eight presidential election contenders were projected to get more than 50% of the vote. Milanovic thanked his supporters but warned “this was just a first run.” “Let’s not be triumphant, let’s be realistic, firmly on the ground,” he said. “We must fight all over again. It’s not over till it’s over.” Milanovic is an outspoken critic of Western military support for Ukraine in its war against Russia. He is often compared to Donald Trump for his combative style of communication with political opponents. The most popular politician in Croatia, 58-year-old Milanović has served as prime minister in the past. Populist in style, he has been a fierce critic of current Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and continuous sparring between the two has lately marked Croatia’s political scene. Plenković, the prime minister, has sought to portray the vote as one about Croatia’s future in the EU and NATO. He has labeled Milanović “pro-Russian” and a threat to Croatia’s international standing. “The difference between him and Milanović is quite simple: Milanović is leading us East, Primorac is leading us West,” he said. Though the presidency is largely ceremonial in Croatia, an elected president holds political authority and acts as the supreme military commander. Milanović has criticized the NATO and European Union support for Ukraine and has often insisted that Croatia should not take sides. He has said Croatia should stay away from global disputes, though it is a member of both NATO and the EU. Milanović has also blocked Croatia’s participation in a NATO-led training mission for Ukraine, declaring that “no Croatian soldier will take part in somebody else’s war.” His main rival in the election, Primorac, has stated that “Croatia’s place is in the West, not the East.” His presidency bid, however, has been marred by a high-level corruption case that landed Croatia’s health minister in jail last month and featured prominently in pre-election debates. During the election campaign, Primorac has sought to portray himself as a unifier and Milanović as divisive. Primorac was upbeat despite such a big defeat in the first round. “I know the difference (in votes) at first sight seems very big,” said Primorac, who insisted that the center-right votes had split among too many conservative candidates. “Now we have a great opportunity to face each other one on one and show who stands for what,” he said. Sunday’s presidential election is Croatia’s third vote this year, following a parliamentary election in April and the European Parliament balloting in June.

Torex Gold Resources Inc. (OTCMKTS:TORXF) Sees Significant Increase in Short Interest

Cal staves off Sacramento State for third straight winNew York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said Aaron Rodgers “absolutely” will remain the team's starting quarterback and start Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Rodgers, who turns 41 next Monday, has been hampered at times during the Jets' 3-8 start by various injuries to his left leg, including a sore knee, sprained ankle and balky hamstring. Ulbrich said Monday the quarterback came back from the team's bye-week break ready to go. “All I can say, and you'd have to ask Aaron if he's fully healthy, but he's better off today than he's been as of late,” Ulbrich said. "So he's definitely feeling healthier than he has probably for the past month. A healthy Aaron Rodgers is the Aaron Rodgers we all love. “So, I'm excited about what that looks like.” NFL Network reported on Sunday that Rodgers, who missed all but four snaps last season with a torn left Achilles tendon , has declined having medical scans on his injured leg so he can continue to play. “I have not been informed of that, either way,” Ulbrich said. Rodgers suffered what NFL Network reported was a “significant” hamstring injury against Denver in Week 4. He then sprained his left ankle against Minnesota in London a week later. The four-time MVP has not been able to consistently move around during games as he has in the past, when extending plays and making things happen on the run became such a big part of his game. Rodgers said leading into New York's 28-27 loss to Indianapolis last Sunday that it was the healthiest he felt in a while. But he struggled against the Colts, finishing 22 of 29 for 184 yards after a brutally slow start during which he went 9 of 13 for just 76 yards. The Athletic reported last week that owner Woody Johnson broached the idea during a meeting with the coaching staff of having the banged-up Rodgers sit after the Jets' loss to Denver in Week 4. With Rodgers' struggles and perhaps compromised health the past few games, a hot debate on social media and sports talk shows during the past week has been whether the quarterback should take a seat in favor of Tyrod Taylor. But when asked if there has been any talk of shutting down Rodgers, Ulbrich replied flatly: “There has not.” In a follow-up question, the interim coach was asked if Rodgers will, in fact, be the Jets' starting quarterback at home Sunday against the Seahawks. “Absolutely,” Ulbrich said. He added that he didn't feel the need to sit down with Rodgers and address all the reports and chatter outside the facility. “No, I feel like we are on the same page,” the coach said. Last week, Ulbrich said he and his staff would take “a deep dive” into what the team could do better after losing seven of its past eight and being on the verge of missing the postseason for the 14th consecutive year. Ulbrich opted not to make any changes to the coaching responsibilities of his staff and he will continue to run the defense as the coordinator. He also said there would not be any personnel changes coming out of the bye, barring injuries. “But definitely, we created a really clear vision of where we need to improve and found some things,” Ulbrich said. “Obviously, you find the things that you’re not doing well, you need to improve upon them, but then also found some some things that I think we can really build upon. So I was excited in both ways.” Johnson fired general manager Joe Douglas last Tuesday, six weeks after he also dismissed coach Robert Saleh. On Monday, the team announced it would be assisted by The 33rd Team , a football media, analytics and consulting group founded by former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, in its searches for a general manager and coach. Ulbrich insisted that isn't creating an awkward situation for him, in particular, as he and his staff focus on the present while the organization begins planning for the future. “In all honesty, it’s not at all,” Ulbrich said. “My singular focus is just finishing the season off the right way, playing a brand of football we’re all proud of, myself included. And that starts with Seattle.” Injuries LB C.J. Mosley said he's “progressing” in his return from a herniated disk in his neck, but is still uncertain about his availability for Sunday. Mosley said Monday was the first time he put on a helmet since the injury occurred during pregame warmups against New England on Oct. 27. ... Ulbrich said the team is still evaluating LT Tyron Smith, who missed the game against Indianapolis with a neck ailment. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Dennis Waszak Jr., The Associated Press
