PamStealer macOS Malware Adds Live C2 Payload Decryption and Multi-Layer Persistence
Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new version of PamStealer that ensures that the main payload can only be recovered using a server-side decryption chain.

Measure Distant Asteroids With a DIY Rig
I’ve seen two total solar eclipses and have been duly impressed by what happens as the moon casts its shadow on Earth. But recently I’ve become even more intrigued by a similar phenomenon that doesn’t involve the sun or the moon—something called an asteroid occultation.That’s what happens when an asteroid orbits around the solar system and blocks the light of a distant star you’re viewing from…
Engineering the Substation Exit for Reliability, Capacity, and Expansion
This white paper gives distribution engineers and utility teams a practical overview of the substation exit, the short and high-consequence section where station capacity divides into individual feeders. It explains how covered, spacer-supported overhead construction can reduce common contact-driven faults while leaving room for future circuits.What you will learn about:Why a fault near the…
