Academics and civil society on both sides of the Atlantic have raised serious concerns regarding Canada's Bill C-22. If the @EU_Commission wants to be taken seriously when speaking about tech sovereignty, it must defend privacy and security of people and businesses in Europe now!
Canada’s Bill C-22 could put privacy worldwide at risk by expanding surveillance powers + metadata retention that reach beyond Canada. We urge European policymakers to demand that the Canadian gov’t protect end-to-end encryption + people’s data. accessnow.org/press-release/…

DSLU investigated a multi-stage phishing campaign targeting Ukrainian civil society that combines reply-baiting, malicious LNK files, GitHub+GitLab abuse, and fileless execution. The attack starts with a harmless-looking collaboration email with no links or attachments. Only after the victim replies do the attackers send a link to an archive containing an LNK file disguised as a PDF. Once opened, it displays a decoy document while executing malicious code in the background. The attackers use GitHub to deliver additional code, establish persistence through a scheduled task, and collect and exfiltrate data from the compromised system.
