#embargo

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

The Australian Centre for International Justice (ACIJ) is calling on the Australian government to impose sanctions on the far-right Israeli cabinet ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.

#Sanctions are a bare minimum opportunity to deter and punish such severe violations.”

#Australia should also impose a “two-way arms #embargo on #Israel,”

“Ongoing military trade and cooperation only serve to reinforce Israel’s unlawful occupation and empower its military apparatus.”

"Femke Halsema, burgemeester van Amsterdam, over hoe de oorlog in Gaza leeft in haar stad, waarom het kabinet meer zou moeten doen en waarom de Israëlische ambassadeur heeft zich niet hoort te bemoeien met de binnenlandse verhoudingen."

#ESETresearch discovered previously unknown links between the #RansomHub, #Medusa, #BianLian, and #Play ransomware gangs, and leveraged #EDRKillShifter to learn more about RansomHub’s affiliates. @SCrow357 welivesecurity.com/en/eset-res
RansomHub emerged in February 2024 and in just three months reached the top of the ransomware ladder, recruiting affiliates from disrupted #LockBit and #BlackCat. Since then, it dominated the ransomware world, showing similar growth as LockBit once did.
Previously linked to North Korea-aligned group #Andariel, Play strictly denies operating as #RaaS. We found its members utilized RansomHub’s EDR killer EDRKillShifter, multiple times during their intrusions, meaning some members likely became RansomHub affiliates.
BianLian focuses on extortion-only attacks and does not publicly recruit new affiliates. Its access to EDRKillShifter suggests a similar approach as Play – having trusted members, who are not limited to working only with them.
Medusa, same as RansomHub, is a typical RaaS gang, actively recruiting new affiliates. Since it is common knowledge that affiliates of such RaaS groups often work for multiple operators, this connection is to be expected.
Our blogpost also emphasizes the growing threat of EDR killers. We observed an increase in the number of such tools, while the set of abused drivers remains quite small. Gangs such as RansomHub and #Embargo offer their killers as part of the affiliate program.

Das ist Unsinn.
Wir sind aktuell frei und können in Talkshows Quatsch erzählen, weil sich die Menschen vor Jahrzehnten für Demokratie und Meinungsfreiheit ENTSCHIEDEN haben. Und das hätten sie auch bei den Wahlen von 1933 tun können.
Nach Kriegen sind häufig genug Despoten an der Macht – ein Krieg gewährleistet keineswegs, dass dadurch die Demokratie entsteht.
Diplomatie und strenge Embargos sind eine gute Strategie.

Cuba Sends #Doctors, the US Sends #Sanctions

The #UnitedStates calls #Cuba’s medical internationalism "human trafficking" — but it’s really an internationalist lifeline for the #GlobalSouth.

On February 25, #US secretary of state #MarcoRubio announced restrictions on visas for both government officials in Cuba and any others worldwide who are “complicit” with the island nation’s overseas #medical-assistance programs. A #USStateDepartment statement clarified that the sanction extends to “current and former” officials and the “immediate family of such persons.”
