00:00:12It is Military Scout Day in Russia. Defense Minister Andrei Belousov congratulated
00:00:16servicemen and veterans, noting that at all times scouts
00:00:19honorably performed their duty. The head of the department is confident that the traditions
00:00:22will be preserved and the skill of scouts will
00:00:24grow.
00:00:27In India, there are casualties from Cyclone Murasu. Bad weather has been
00:00:30attacking the state
00:00:33of Andhra Pradesh for several days now. Hundreds of houses, crops on an area
00:00:36of more than 5,000 hectares, have also been
00:00:39destroyed.
00:00:44Let's go back to the holiday of Russian military scouts. Units celebrate it
00:00:48at the front, in the rear, at training grounds. Elizaveta
00:00:51Bukreeva visited the
00:00:52training.
00:00:56Scouts of the northern group silently approach...
00:01:30some signal. All possible entrances and exits from the shelter
00:01:33are controlled by a sniper. He accompanies the group
00:01:37as a mandatory measure and
00:01:39takes up position.
00:01:43Maximum camouflage should be on the guys. The task is to literally
00:01:46blend in with the terrain, for this they use improvised
00:01:49materials. Grass, branches, earth. Today
00:01:52becoming a chameleon is not required, and John works light, usually the fighters have
00:01:56a backpack with the most necessary things, for example, an anti-drone blanket,
00:01:59a supply of food and water, it happens that a raid can
00:02:03take literally a minute or two, but it also happens
00:02:06that you have to sit in an ambush for several days.
00:02:09Fighters of the 74th separate reconnaissance battalion act
00:02:13without words, there are reasons for this in dialogue, the enemy can
00:02:16use a code word to call for reinforcements. There are also
00:02:20knocks, and there are also bells, in some
00:02:23moments the radios are in their hands. Baikal knows about the tricks in the AFU
00:02:27in the ranks of the forty-fourth. Army Corps
00:02:30has been serving for the second year, has been in different directions, now he is performing
00:02:34tasks in Sumy, notes that the enemy is demoralized,
00:02:38we immediately take positions, they, that is, either leave positions,
00:02:41run away, or surrender, in some places we entered,
00:02:45people did not even know how to hold an automatic rifle, our guys at training even on
00:02:48their professional holiday, the legend of the exercise is worked out to an A+,
00:02:52the enemy is captured, important documents are in the hands of the Russian
00:02:56troops. Elizaveta Bukreeva, Dmitry Zinoviev, Vesti Kursk.
00:03:02Now let's move on to technology news, we have Filipp Trofimov in the studio, host
00:03:06of the Vesti.net program, Philipp, what
00:03:09new vulnerability has been found in Apple smartphones, tell us
00:03:13who should be afraid of this vulnerability yet, it's not
00:03:16very clear, there is very little information, it's all
00:03:19available to Apple, but since the vulnerability has not yet
00:03:22been fixed, security experts are not publishing a detailed
00:03:25report, but I must say that this time the iPhone was hacked quite
00:03:29spectacularly. More on how exactly they managed to bypass
00:03:32the specially protected mode of smartphones from Cupertino, more on that
00:03:36later, let's start with the astonishing mass hacking
00:03:39of devices.
00:03:41Google security experts announced that they had discovered and neutralized
00:03:45a large-scale botnet, that is, a network of more than a million infected
00:03:49devices, and the most surprising thing in this story is that
00:03:52the creators of this botnet were not some
00:03:55nameless hackers, but a completely specific company,
00:03:58official and legal. Moreover, a verified and trusted
00:04:02partner of Google itself, a manufacturer of certified
00:04:05set-top boxes running on the Android operating system. We are talking about the company
00:04:08Video strong technology with its headquarters in Chinese
00:04:12Shenzhen. It was founded 15 years ago and produces a wide
00:04:15variety of electronics, but its main business for a long
00:04:19time was the production of set-top boxes running on the Android
00:04:22operating system under different brands, in particular under the Mikuol brand. And
00:04:26these set-top boxes were used as Boot nodes.
00:04:30This, as Google security experts claim, to bypass
00:04:33the mandatory checks during certification, Video Strong engineers were able to do so by
00:04:36having the extra module loaded into the device's
00:04:40firmware, initially not containing malicious code and
00:04:43activating only after the end user brought
00:04:46the set-top box home, configured it and connected it to
00:04:50the Internet, then this extra module disabled the built-in security
00:04:54features of the Android operating system and downloaded malicious
00:04:57code from a remote server. Google claims
00:05:01that Video Strong itself actually leased a network of almost
00:05:041.5 million compromised set-top boxes to various
00:05:08attackers.
00:05:10The main use cases for botnets
00:05:12are routing all kinds of illegal traffic and online advertising
00:05:16fraud, which is when hundreds of thousands of infected devices
00:05:19simulate viewing ad banners or even clicking on
00:05:23them. In addition, botnet operators had full access to
00:05:27devices, from launching commands to saving screenshots and
00:05:30scanning other devices on the local network.
00:05:33The geography of infection is vast.
00:05:37Security experts of the world's leading search engine even drew
00:05:40a map of unaffected regions - only Africa,
00:05:44Asia, and most of Western Europe. Google assures that this
00:05:48botnet has been defeated, the control servers are disconnected, certification
00:05:51rules have been revised, but the backdoor itself in the
00:05:54set-top boxes remained, the built-in operating
00:05:58system protection is still disabled, probably including
00:06:02on those devices that are not yet sold, for example, in
00:06:05Russian retail, at least a dozen models from a list of almost
00:06:08200 compromised set-top boxes
00:06:12are actively sold.
00:06:15A little more about security, but this time in relation to significantly more
00:06:18complex, expensive, and personal Apple
00:06:21devices sent separate warnings to certain users in almost a hundred countries
00:06:25about a possible targeted cyberattack using
00:06:29spyware. Who exactly is trying to track whom, Cupertino does
00:06:32not publicly disclose. But it is for such a case that the iPhone has a special mode,
00:06:36called Lockdown. So almost simultaneously with
00:06:39warnings from Apple, Calif security
00:06:42experts posted a video online
00:06:46showing them successfully hacking an iPhone 18 Pro,
00:06:50precisely with Lockdown mode enabled. Moreover, at the time
00:06:53of the hack, an article was open on the smartphone screen in a publication
00:06:57with a quote from an Apple representative who claimed that
00:07:01no user who used Lockdown mode had
00:07:04been hacked yet. The variant demonstrated by
00:07:08Calif specialists for complete compromise of the iPhone was
00:07:11enough to accept. Open an ordinary-looking PDF file with
00:07:15a cat picture, after a couple of seconds, the malicious code disabled
00:07:18the iOS security system, launched an animation
00:07:21over the entire interface. The most surprising thing is that
00:07:25after that, right in the frame, an operating system update
00:07:28was rolled out to the smartphone, and it remained compromised. In other
00:07:32words, it works with the latest firmware version
00:07:35capable of surviving a full system update. How does
00:07:39all this work? Calif does not disclose the details. The vulnerabilities
00:07:43are only available to
00:07:44Apple.
00:07:47And a little about the difficulties in the memory chip and
00:07:50graphics accelerator market, where on the one hand there is a global shortage, on
00:07:54the other hand there are restrictions on supplies to individual countries. And all this, one way or another,
00:07:57is connected with the excitement around artificial intelligence. So,
00:08:01according to The Information, Chinese companies have
00:08:04found a way to import high-speed memory modules into
00:08:08the country that are needed for neural computing and whose export
00:08:11is restricted. As it turned out, American and South Korean export
00:08:15rules are tied to processor performance,
00:08:18respectively, companies appeared that mount expensive
00:08:22high-performance memory into cheap systems, transport all this
00:08:25across the border, desolder the memory, throw away the rest, and this
00:08:29looks like some kind of trend. Just last week, a video appeared online
00:08:32from the working premises of an entire
00:08:36factory, where top, but consumer gaming
00:08:39video cards of the RTX 5090 series are massively
00:08:42re-purposed into accelerators for neural network calculations for
00:08:46use in server
