A new hardware breach could serve as an entry point for large-scale attacks.

Researchers have discovered a way to hack the ACE3 USB-C controller used for charging and data transfer in Apple devices, including iPhones and Macs. This component is proprietary to the company and plays a key role in the functioning of the Apple ecosystem.

During the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, hacker Thomas Roth demonstrated a controller hack. He reverse engineered ACE3, revealing the internal software and communication protocols. Roth then reprogrammed the controller, allowing it to bypass built-in security checks, inject malicious commands, and perform other unauthorized actions.

The cause of the vulnerability was insufficient protection in the controller firmware, which allows attackers to gain low-level access, imitate trusted accessories, and perform other actions. However, according to Roth, exploiting this vulnerability requires significant effort.

Roth notified Apple of the problem, but the company determined that the high level of sophistication of the attack made it an unlikely threat. The hacker agreed with this conclusion, noting that his work was exploratory in nature and aimed at identifying fundamental vulnerabilities.

Although Apple currently has no plans to fix the problem, experts agree that large companies need to pay more attention to hardware solutions to prevent similar attacks in the future.

VPN became a tool for hacking a British domain registrar.

British domain registrar Nominet is investigating a possible hack of its network in which hackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in Ivanti software.

The suspicious activity was discovered late last week through a bug in a third-party VPN service from Ivanti. The software is used by Nominet employees to remotely access systems. The attack vector was related to a zero-day vulnerability.

At this time, the company says there is no evidence of data leakage or theft. There were also no traces of backdoors or other forms of unauthorized access to the network. To enhance security, access to systems via VPN was limited. Domain registration and management systems continue to operate as normal.

Nominet, which manages more than 11 million .uk domains, as well as .wales, .pharmacy and .career domains, said the investigation was being carried out in conjunction with external experts and notifications had been issued to customers, members and relevant authorities including the UK National Cyber ​​Security Center (NCSC).

All signs point to Nominet being the first organization publicly identified as a victim of the ongoing exploitation of CVE-2025-0282 (CVSS Score: 9.0), a zero-day vulnerability affecting Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure and Neurons for ZTA gateways. Ivanti and Mandiant confirmed that the attacks began in December, but the victims were not disclosed.

Mandiant discovered that this vulnerability was exploited by hackers associated with the Chinese group UNC5337. The attacks used the SPAWN malicious ecosystem, including previously unknown programs DRYHOOK and PHASEJAM. The main goals of cybercriminals are to steal credentials and install web shells to gain permanent access.

Ivanti has released patches for Connect Secure, but patches for Policy Secure and Neurons for ZTA will not be available until January 21st. The company came under fire last year for delaying updates, leaving thousands of organizations without protection. Nominet says it has already begun rolling out the fixes. Users of Ivanti products are encouraged to update their software as soon as possible.

After the Romanian Constitutional Court annulled the results of the first round of presidential elections shortly before the runoff, the date for a new presidential election has now been set.

from Anti-Spiegel January 9, 2025 6:00 am

It was a rare impressive presentation of “Western democracy” when no explicitly US, NATO and EU-friendly candidate made it to the runoff in the first round of the presidential elections in Romania in November, because that was canceled just two days before the planned runoff Romania's Constitutional Court quickly announced the election results after the USA and the EU protested and spoke of Russian election interference on TikTok. The Romanian Constitutional Court obediently invoked this, but without providing any evidence of the alleged election interference.

Interestingly, even the FAZ reported on December 19th that there was no evidence of alleged election interference by Russia. The article said:

“Even if experts consider Russian authorship of the expensive campaign on social media such as Tiktok to be plausible: Since the Constitutional Court's decision two weeks ago, Bucharest has not yet provided any explanation as to who is behind the foreign interference. Now Johannis explained during a press conference on Wednesday evening in Brussels that at the diplomatic level it was “extremely complicated to point the finger and say: it was you.”

On December 20, an investigative Romanian portal reported that there had apparently actually been an election influence by a TikTok campaign. However, this was not financed by Russia, but ironically by the EU-friendly liberal-conservative party PNL, which is part of the EPP bloc in the EU Parliament. Apparently there was some trickery involved, as the winner of the first round of elections, Georgescu, benefited from the campaign.

And according to the report, this is how it happened: Accordingly, the campaign was actually intended to lure voters from the social democratic party PSD to the PNL. However, when George Simion from the nationalist party Alianța pentru Unirea Românilor (AUR) became dangerous to the PNL during the election campaign, Georgescu, who was also described as nationalist, was also supposed to be promoted – allegedly on the advice of the president – in order to weaken Simion.

Why the Romanian presidential elections are so important.

The reason for the panic in the West after the first round of elections in November was the powers of the Romanian president, because in Romania the government is led by the prime minister, but the president has some important powers. For example, the president has control over defense spending, which is currently the most important thing for the US government and the EU leadership in view of NATO's demands for even higher arms spending and the EU's demands to support Ukraine on its own if necessary after Trump's election victory topic is.

Romania is also strategically very important for the USA because the country shares a border with Ukraine and Moldova. Romania is also a country with important naval ports for NATO on the Black Sea and the largest NATO base in Eastern Europe is currently being built in Romania. And, very importantly, part of the so-called US missile defense in Europe is in Romania.

After the first round of voting, Prime Minister Ciolacu, the only politician who was clearly pro-USA, pro-EU and pro-NATO, was thrown out of the presidential election and the runoff election included a candidate whose positions are not completely clear and a candidate who is clear against supporting Ukraine and to protect Romanian interests.

No matter which of the two would have won the runoff, at these crucial times for Washington and Brussels there was a risk that Romania could become an uncertain candidate in the fight against Russia.

So something had to be done and that's why Washington and Brussels built up gigantic pressure in the days that followed, whereupon the Romanian Constitutional Court annulled the election results.

This is how western democracy works and we can be excited to see what we will have to offer in the new presidential elections.

A Muslim man was denied a job at Greater Stockholm Transport Authority (Stockholms Lokaltrafik, SL). The reason was that the man had made it clear that he put his Muslim faith before Swedish values ​​of equality. According to Muslims, women are inferior to men. For example, he refused to shake hands with women. But now the man is supported by Sweden's Equality Commissioner (DO), according to whom misogyny in the workplace is allowed – if religious reasons can be invoked.

A Muslim fundamentalist man applied for a job as a security guard at the Greater Stockholm Transport Authority and was scheduled for a job interview. But when she told the employer before the interview that she could not consider treating women as equals because of her religion, the interview was cancelled.

Defending misogyny The man felt that he had been discriminated against and filed a complaint with the equality commissioner, and the authority sided with the man.

In their statement, they criticize the company and say it was wrong not to let the man in for an interview. According to the Commissioner for Equality, Muslims' misogyny takes precedence over respect for Swedish values ​​of equality.

The man argued in his complaint that looking down on women for religious reasons should not be considered a problem. This was because he didn't think he needed to shake hands with women in his job.

Suur-Stockholm Liikenne disagreed and said that such situations can of course occur with a security guard and that it is a problem and against the company's neutrality policy to regard women as inferior beings in general. In light of #MeToo, they thought they had justice on their side.

Islam wins gender equality But refusing to greet women as a manifestation of misogyny is not a reason to deny anyone a job. “If misogyny can be connected to the religious beliefs of Muslims, it must be allowed,” says the Commissioner for Equality and justifies the special right in his decision as follows:

“Touching is something that is not comfortable for all people, and there is no reason to demand a handshake in particular, because there are other ways to greet respectfully that do not involve physical contact”

The information found on the equality commissioner's website does not indicate whether the company is obliged to pay compensation to the Muslim man.

Opposite decision in the previous case The decision marks a change of direction for the authority. In previous similar disputes, it has sided with the employer.

In 2016, the Equality Commissioner received a complaint in which a man felt that he had been discriminated against when he applied for a job as an integration counselor at an integration center for young immigrants, but he was denied a job. The man said that because of the Muslim view of women, he does not greet women by shaking hands, although he had no problem doing so with men.

The equality commissioner then said that it was not wrong to deny the man a job. The employer's requirement that employees be able to touch people of both sexes “is not unreasonable,” they said. In the decision given now, the same authority takes a completely opposite position.

According to reports, there are opposition paramilitary elements which are targeting the government of Chad. This is the same nation which has terminated the presence of French and American troops from their nation. In a state, which sounds like a threat, French President Macron said:

On Tuesday, French President Emmanuel Macron told a meeting of ambassadors that the former colonies in Africa forgot to thank Paris for its help against terrorists and separatists over the past decade.

“None of them would have a sovereign state if the French army had not deployed in this region,” the French president claimed. “I think that they forgot to thank us, but that’s ok, it will come in time.”

One doubts if the French are working alone. We are probably witnessing another NATO operation as coincidentally, the gunshots and presumable mayhem occurred while the Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, was on a visit to strengthen bilateral relations. A Coincidence indeed, for one can think of quite a few nations from the collective nations that would like to disrupt both Chad and China along with any mutual projects they may embark upon.

An unexpected, but not unwelcomed result of the SMO, is that Russia's destruction of Ukraine's military has drained NATO's ability to supply the weapons and ammunition required to sustain combat operations in Ukraine. Ukraine has depleted NATO's supply of ATACMs and decimated NATO's stocks of tanks and armored personnel carriers. Unless the United States and NATO call a halt to providing military assistance to Ukraine, Russia will continue its offensive until the Ukrainian military implodes.

NATO, like the EU, is the parasite which kills the host. NATO is way past its expiration date. The organization was created to supposedly, keep the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact Nations in check. However over a generation later, with the ending to the USSR and the Warsaw Pact Bloc, NATO is still around and its causing troubles.

NATO invaded the former Yugoslavia murdered hundreds of thousands and divided that nation. NATO has stirred conflict and destruction and now could start another world war with nuclear weapons involved.

If Haiti were a land of predominantly White people, one cannot discount the fact, that because of the differing culture and intellect, if Haitians were White, the nation would be a prosperous paradise. That's not racism that is reality.

Haiti is on the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic. Many Haitians are constantly crossing that border illegally and the Dominicans have no issues deporting them when they are found. However, were the Haitians White, the roles would be reversed, since it would be the Dominicans and the people residing in neighboring islands, who would be trying to break into the White paradise.

However, speaking of reality, we are posting a link to an article celebrating the two hundred, twenty four year anniversary, of Haitian independence. It's written by a leftist, but as an avid reader, one still may find the writing within, pleasurable. We pray for Haitians and people like them and we hope someday, they'll get things together.

Haiti: The Other January 1st.

Just in one is an American with a short attention span, the EU did give Erdogan a billion Euro payoff. We have links of the act, here and also here. Allegedly, to fund the Syrian refuges, in camps located in Turkey. However, we are beginning to speculate, that the deep state west, may be paying Turkey, for them helping, to destabilize Iran.

Since the neocons have gotten their wish to check off Syria's destruction, off their wish list, all deep state treacherous roads and intent, now leads to the big prize, Iran. What has Iran done to deserve all this ire? Is the US still holding a grudge for the 1979, Iranian hostage crisis or does the grievance go deeper?

Whatever the reason, the sharks are clearly smelling blood in the water. By their reckoning, with Syria now gone, and the Israeli occupying forces, having destroyed all their air defenses, in is theoretically conceivable, that Israel and or the Americans can now fly over unmolested using Syrian airspace. What's more, all Syrian airbases, can now be occupied and used for any perceived, attacks on Iran.

Turkey was instrumental in the total destabilization of Syria and now, she may be turning her eyes upon doing something similar to the Iranian government. In a new move, Turkey has begun the imposition of a fuel consumption tax on Iranian truckers. Which is not only hitting Iranian truckers in the wallets but it's causing long delays in the subzero temperatures to boot.

Indeed, so it will be the status quo then. If indeed, this prediction is true, we will be very disappointed, since like most people, we were looking forward to some happier economic times.

Although, the author of this nearing tragedy, is a woman named Gail Tverberg, at least we're assuming that it's a woman, who seems to be obsessed with pessimism. On her blog, revealingly named, “Our Finite World”, one finds an almost infinite amount of articles, predicting doom and pessimism. Her pessimistic world view, seems to have occurred around a half century ago. Plus we suspect that she may also be Jewish. So those observations should be considered as well.

We have no real reason to dispute her assertions however, since, although Tverberg predicts a global recession, there is no disputing, that the US, with a debt of nearly forty, trillion dollars, is destined for failure and hardships after all those trillions, living off the hog. So this news isn't at all surprising but a man can hope. Also her article states the end of economic growth. Which prompts us to ask where has she been these last five years? In her article she highlights, energy scarcity, high interest rates and lowered industrial outputs.

• The global economy is expected to enter a recession in 2025 due to a decline in the availability of crude oil, coal, and uranium relative to population.
• Government attempts to stimulate the economy through debt will lead to inflation rather than growth, as energy supplies are constrained.
• High interest rates, low energy prices, and a decline in industrial output will characterize the economic landscape in 2025.

The End Of Economic Growth: Energy Shortages Drive Global Downturn.

Make America White again. Although that's not an entirely accurate statement, since despite all the treachery and treason, the US is still a majority White nation. However our enemies are relentless and will not rest until they complete their mission of replacement, disarmament and genocide, until they die out or are stopped.

Therefore it is imperative that we realize that everything they have been telling us via their programming are lies. Everything they say, must be inverted, since they are absolute liars and they do not keep their words nor do they have any honor. Therefore, their enemies aren't our enemies. Indeed, we should scrutinize their enemies, we should see the qualities therein, which makes the empire of ZOG, so afraid. In that vein here are some stories which are undoubtedly irksome to the reptilian swamp creatures in the capitals of the collective west.
