Self-Propagating Malware Poisons Open Source Software, Wipes Iran-Based Machines

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: A new hacking group has been rampaging the Internet in a persistent campaign that spreads a self-propagating and never-before-seen backdoor -- and curiously a data wiper that targets Iranian machines. The group, tracked under the name TeamPCP, first gained visibility in December, when researchers from security firm Flare observed it unleashing a worm that targeted cloud-hosted platforms that weren't properly secured....

AYANEO's upcoming Next 2 handheld gaming console shelved due to rising component prices — company stops preorders for the $1,999 Strix Halo device
