Russian army targeted by new Android malware hidden in mapping app

A new strain of Android malware, identified as 'Android.Spy.1292.origin' by Doctor Web, has been found in compromised versions of the Alpine Quest mapping application, which is popular among Russian soldiers for operational planning. Cyber attackers are distributing these trojanized versions as free alternatives to the premium app via Telegram channels and Russian app catalogs. The malware collects sensitive data, including the user's phone number, contacts, geolocation, and files, and can monitor real-time location changes. It also downloads additional modules to extract confidential files, particularly from Telegram and WhatsApp, and searches for location history logs within the app. This tactic is part of a broader trend of targeting military personnel for intelligence gathering, historically linked to Russian state-sponsored hacking operations.

‘Trust continues to be tampered with’: A thread about SBMM in the upcoming Battlefield game is the final straw as an EA community manager lets loose on leakers

Electronic Arts (EA) has launched a community testing program called Battlefield Labs for the upcoming Battlefield game, allowing players to test potential features and collaborate on development. However, participants have leaked gameplay footage, causing frustration for EA. A controversial topic among players is the rumored introduction of skill-based matchmaking (SBMM), which many believe could negatively impact gameplay enjoyment. David Sirland, the lead producer, reassured the community that the testing phase is temporary. Community manager T0TALfps emphasized that not all features tested will make it to the final game and warned against sharing out-of-context information, which could damage trust. The next Battlefield game is set in a modern-day environment and will return to traditional classes and focused maps. T0TALfps urged players to be patient and supportive during the development process, stating that official information will only be shared when EA is ready.
