Mariners embrace ‘timeless’ approach to hitting at T-Mobile ParkNEWS BRIEF BlueAlpha, a Russian state-sponsored advanced persistent threat (APT) group, has recently evolved its malware delivery chain to abuse Cloudflare Tunnels — with the goal of ultimately infecting victims with its proprietary GammaDrop malware. Cloudflare Tunnels is, as its name suggests, a secure tunneling software. It can be used to connect resources to Cloudflare's network without using a publicly routable IP address, with the goal of protecting Web servers and applications from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) and other direct cyberattacks, by hiding their origins. Unfortunately, this obfuscation mechanism, like other legitimate cloud tools , can also be used by the likes of BlueAlpha, which uses Cloudflare Tunnels to conceal its GammaDrop staging infrastructure from traditional network detection mechanisms, according to Recorded Future's Insikt Group. "Cloudflare offers the tunneling service for free with the use of the TryCloudflare tool," according to an analysis published this week from Insikt. "The tool allows anyone to create a tunnel using a randomly generated subdomain of trycloudflare.com and have all requests to that subdomain proxied through the Cloudflare network to the Web server running on that host." The APT then uses the concealed infrastructure to mount HTML smuggling attacks that bypass email security systems, along with employing DNS fast-fluxing, which makes it more difficult to disrupt BlueAlpha’s command-and-control (C2) communications, Insikt Group researchers noted — and in the end, deliver the GammaDrop malware, which enables data exfiltration, credential theft, and backdoor access to networks. BlueAlpha, which shares DNA with other Russian threat groups like Trident Ursa , Gamaredon, Shuckworm, and Hive0051, first emerged in 2014, and has lately targeted Ukrainian organizations via spearphishing campaigns. The APT has used the custom VBScript malware GammaLoad since at least October 2023. To protect against such attacks, Insikt Group recommended several mitigations, including: Tara Seals has 20+ years of experience as a journalist, analyst and editor in the cybersecurity, communications and technology space. Prior to Dark Reading, Tara was Editor in Chief at Threatpost, and prior to that, the North American news lead for Infosecurity Magazine. She also spent 13 years working for Informa (formerly Virgo Publishing), as executive editor and editor-in-chief at publications focused on both the service provider and the enterprise arenas. A Texas native, she holds a B.A. from Columbia University, lives in Western Massachusetts with her family and is on a never-ending quest for good Mexican food in the Northeast.

But, if Peace Lilies aren't your cup of tea, there are a host of different beneficial plants for your home. Palms also absorb moisture through their leaves and are a great choice to help control humidity and keep mould at bay. Varieties like areca palms, bamboo palms, the lady palm, dwarf date palm and reed palm are the best for sucking up condensation. Experts ideally recommend these plants are kept lightly moist but, not waterlogged and positioned in areas with indirect sunlight. What to do in extreme cases of mould and damp In extreme cases of damp and mould , it’s best to keep the windows open to allow airflow, consider using an anti-mould treatment to tackle the problem. You can seek out an expert and if you are renting speak to your landlord about fixing the issue. When we checked online we spotted some Palms starting from £30 on specialist garden websites. Spider plants are another great alternative. This lovely plant is a creeping vine with pointed leaves that is excellent at purifying the air of mould and mildew. According to experts, it's a helpful plant to have in your home because it not only removes harmful pollutants but is also easy to care for.

And, a home expert has revealed five simple tricks to banish mould and condensation from your home. Other mould-beating houseplants on sale at Ikea, B&Q and Amazon By Lydnsey Young Snake plants This succulent plant keeps excess water in its thick leaves and is very hardy and adaptable. Snake plants are great starting plants for beginners as they are pretty low maintenance. You only need to water the plant every week or two and it will survive even if you forget a couple of times. The snake plant grows best in bright light and warm temperatures and comes in leaf shapes and colours. You can get miniature snake plants in Ikea for just £5. Boston ferns Boston ferns are popular houseplants known for their lush, feathery fronds but are also great at reducing mould spores and toxins through their leaves. When caring for a Boston fern, a good rule of thumb is to check the soil moisture regularly and water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Experts also recommend misting the plant occasionally, as this can help increase the humidity around it and keep its fronds looking fresh and vibrant. B&Q also had some Boston Ferns on its website starting from £14.99. English Ivy The English ivy can remove airborne mould from humid spaces and other nasties too. It’s a great choice for tiny spaces and cramped bathrooms. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and somewhere with airflow and needs regular watering. Hanging baskets are ideal for this plant – and they serve another purpose too – as it's toxic to pets. It's worth noting that these plants are vines and can extend up to 50 meters in length, with growth booming particularly in the third year. Orchids If you're aiming to combat mould and condensation but also want something pretty to look at, orchids are the way to go. In addition to enhancing your home decor, they also contribute to lowering humidity levels indoors. These plants derive all their nutrients and moisture from the surrounding air. To thrive, orchids need regular watering and misting, but experts recommend doing so with rainwater or boiled water rather than tap water. Marks and Spencer has some orchids online for £20.
X-Bow to Receive Additional Funding for Expansion of DoD Contract for Hypersonic Solid Rocket Motor DevelopmentCincinnati (4-8) at Dallas (5-7) Monday, 8:15 p.m. EST, ESPN BetMGM NFL Odds: Bengals by 5 1/2. Against the spread: Bengals 6-6; Cowboys 4-8. Series record: Cowboys lead 10-4. Last meeting: Cowboys beat Bengals 20-17 on Sept. 18, 2022, in Arlington, Texas. Last week: Bengals lost to Steelers 44-38; Cowboys beat Giants 27-20. Bengals offense: overall (9), rush (27), pass (1), scoring (T5). Bengals defense: overall (27), rush (22), pass (27), scoring (31). Cowboys offense: overall (20), rush (31), pass (7), scoring (21). Cowboys defense: overall (26), rush (31), pass (13), scoring (T29). Turnover differential: Bengals minus-1; Cowboys minus-7. Joe Burrow is one of five QBs in NFL history with at least 30 touchdown passes and no more than five interceptions through 12 games. Aaron Rodgers has done it three times, with one each for Patrick Mahomes, Drew Brees and Tom Brady. The worst record among the six previous instances was 9-3, while Burrow sits at a hard-to-imagine 4-8. Two of those teams started 12-0: Green Bay with Rodgers in 2011 and Tom Brady with New England in 2007. Burrow leads the NFL in passing yards (3,337), completions (302) and touchdowns (30) entering Week 14. LB DeMarvion Overshown had a coming-out moment with his spectacular 23-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Giants. The second-year player, who missed his rookie season with a knee injury, tipped a pass from Drew Lock, ran down the deflection and scored untouched to put Dallas ahead for good. There's talk of him forming quite a tandem with two-time All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons. It's a little early for that, but the “Monday Night Football” audience will be looking for an encore. WR Ja'Marr Chase vs. the Dallas secondary. The question is whether 2021 All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs will be among the defenders battling his former Southeastern Conference rival (Chase played for LSU; Diggs for Alabama). Diggs has missed two games with groin and knee issues. There was some trash talk involved in Dallas' 20-17 win two years ago when the Bengals were defending AFC champs. Chase finished with 54 yards as Cincinnati was held to 254 yards and one touchdown. If Diggs can't go, 2023 All-Pro DaRon Bland figures to see plenty of Chase. Bland is set for his third game after missing the first 10 following surgery for a stress fracture in his foot. Chase leads the league in receiving yards (1,142) and touchdowns (13) entering Week 14. Bengals K Evan McPherson (groin) and LB Logan Wilson (knee) were placed on injured reserve this week. Cade York, the LSU kicker when Burrow and Chase led the Tigers to the 2019 national championship, was signed to replace McPherson. ... Cowboys RG Zack Martin has opted for ankle surgery that will end an injury-filled season for the seven-time All-Pro. Martin missed the past two games. ... It appears Dallas will have to wait at least one more week before DE DeMarcus Lawrence returns from a foot injury. His practice window hasn't opened, and he stayed in the rehab group to start the week. Lawrence hasn't played since Week 4. ... Rookie LT Tyler Guyton has been battling a shoulder injury and added an ankle sprain last week. He's likely to sit this week in favor of veteran Chuma Edoga, who made his season debut against the Giants after injuring a toe in training camp. The Cowboys have beaten the Bengals five times in a row and are 7-1 at home against them. The loss was at old Texas Stadium in 1988. The most recent victory for Cincinnati was 26-3 in 2004. The Bengals are on their second three-game losing streak of the season and still looking for their first victory over a team with a winning record. The Cowboys have won two in a row coming off a five-game losing streak and just ended a six-game skid at home. ... Seven of Cincinnati's losses have been one-score games, including the past three. ... The Bengals have the second-best touchdown rate inside the 20-yard line at 71.1%. The Cowboys have the second worst at 43.8%. ... It's the second Monday night game of the season for both teams. Cincinnati lost to Washington in Week 3. Dallas lost to Houston in Week 11. ... Burrow is one of six QBs with at least three consecutive games of 300-plus yards passing and at least three TDs. Steve Young set the record with five for San Francisco in 1998. Burrow has lost all three games on his streak, while the other five QBs were a combined 15-6 during their streaks. ... WR Tee Higgins is one of three NFL receivers with at least five touchdowns in each of the past five seasons. Mike Evans and Justin Jefferson are the others. ... LT Orlando Brown Jr. returned against Pittsburgh following the first stint of his seven-year career on the inactive list with a leg injury sustained Oct. 27. ... The Bengals benched starting LG Cordell Volson against the Steelers in favor of Cody Ford. Coach Zac Taylor said Ford played well enough to keep the starting job. ... Edge rusher Trey Hendrickson entered the week still leading the NFL with 11 1/2 sacks but has just half a sack during the current three-game losing streak that followed his career-high four sacks against Las Vegas. But Hendrickson does have 4 1/2 sacks in his past four road games and 9 1/2 in eight Monday night games. ... Cowboys QB Cooper Rush's second career start, and first as a five-game fill-in for the injured Dak Prescott in 2022, was a Dallas victory over the Bengals. Rush passed for 235 yards and a touchdown in the first of four consecutive games without an interception, all victories. Rush is 2-2 this season as the replacement for Prescott, who is out for the season following surgery on a torn hamstring. ... RB Rico Dowdle is coming off his first career 100-yard game, with 112 yards rushing and a touchdown against the Giants. ... CeeDee Lamb needs 120 yards receiving to become the first Dallas wideout to reach 1,000 yards in four of his first five seasons. ... Dallas has 16 sacks in the four games since two-time All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons returned from a high ankle sprain. The Cowboys are tied with Denver for the most sacks in that span. Parsons has 5 1/2 of them. Bengals RB Chase Brown has at least 90 scrimmage yards in the past four games, including a team-best 100 last week against the Steelers. Dallas has the second-worst run defense in the NFL. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
