Les sanctions américaines et l'assurance cyberattaque
L'assureur qui veut s'opposer au paiement de la prestation d’assurance suite à une cyberattaque, en invoquant les sanctions américaines, doit prouver que la cyberattaque a servi les intérêts d'une entité visée par ces sanctions et qu'il risque ainsi concrètement d'être réprimandé par l'autorité américaine compétente. Le simple fait que le type de logiciel utilisé pour la cyberattaque en question soit habituellement déployé par un groupe de cyberpirates sous sanction (in casu Evil Corp) ne suffit pas pour refuser le paiement de la prestation d’assurance.

Turning a boring file move into a privilege escalation on Mac | pwn.win
While poking around Parallels Desktop I found a script which is invoked by a setuid-root binary, which has the following snippet: local prl_dir="${usr_home}/Library/Parallels" if [ -e "$prl_dir" -a ! -d "$prl_dir" ]; then log warning "'${prl_dir}' is not a directory. Renaming it." mv -f "$prl_dir"{,~} continue fi Here ${usr_home} represents the home directory of the user for which Parallels Desktop is installed.
