Mac Malware Can Control Active Browser Sessions

Mac Malware Can Control Active Browser Sessions

A routine-looking download can turn into a much bigger problem for Mac users. Jamf Threat Labs found an AmnesiaStealer campaign reaching macOS through a fake software download and capable of keeping attackers connected to browser sessions after infection. Researchers say the added access can extend the intrusion beyond the malware’s initial data theft. An attack begins with a user-run Terminal command, but its more unusual stage comes later, after AmnesiaStealer is already inside the system. A fake download opens the door on macOS Jamf Threat Labs traced the campaign to a counterfeit GitHub-style page offering a macOS download. Visitors are instructed to copy an encoded command into Terminal, using a ClickFix attack chain that relies on the target to execute the malicious instructions. Running the command triggers a shell script that downloads and launches AmnesiaStealer. The malware also attempts to obtain the user’s login password as it prepares to collect information from the system. Turning stolen data into browser access AmnesiaStealer first collects information stored on the infected device. Jamf found it targeting browser data and the macOS …

NTPC Ltd’s BESS proposal under active consideration of KSEB

NTPC Ltd’s BESS proposal under active consideration of KSEB

A proposal by NTPC Ltd to establish a grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) at NTPC facility at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district is under the active consideration of the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). The proposed BESS, which would be the seventh in the State and the second in south Kerala, will initially have a capacity of 250 MW/1000 MWh (250 MW for four hours), an NTPC official said. ‘MW’ denotes the maximum amount of power that the system can deliver at a given moment, and ‘MWh,’ the amount of energy that the battery can store. The existing transmission lines of the NTPC unit can be used for the BESS project for evacuating electricity, the official said. The proposal was submitted in December 2025, and the modalities are being worked out. Kerala is focusing heavily on BESS projects, given the rapid increase in solar power capacity and the absence of storage for the surplus generated during the solar hours for meeting the evening peak demand. At present, BESS projects are under progress at the KSEB …

IOC’s ‘Let’s Move’ campaign aims to get youth active

Olympic Day 2026 is being celebrated across the world on June 23 with a renewed focus on encouraging people, particularly young people, to become more physically active through sport and movement. This year’s theme, “You Can Do This. Let’s Move”, is part of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) global Let’s Move initiative, developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). The campaign aims to inspire individuals to take their first step towards an active lifestyle by addressing one of the biggest barriers to participation in sport: self-doubt. According to the IOC, many young people feel hesitant about joining sporting activities because they fear failure, judgment, or not being good enough. The 2026 campaign seeks to change that perception by promoting the message that everyone starts somewhere and that feeling uncertain is a normal part of the journey. Encouraging the first step The campaign comes at a time when physical inactivity among young people remains a growing concern. Research highlighted by the IOC shows that more than 81 per cent of young people worldwide do …

El Nino is active now in India, may get stronger this monsoon: IMD

El Nino conditions are currently active over the equatorial Pacific Ocean and are expected to strengthen during this southwest monsoon season, according to the latest climate bulletin from the Earth System Science Organisation (ESSO) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Scientists figure a natural El Nino, human-caused climate change. (AP) The agencies confirm that both the ocean and atmosphere now show clear El Nino signals. Sea surface temperatures are above normal, and warmer water is also present below the ocean surface. ALSO READ | India braces for harsher summer, weaker monsoon as El Niño grips equatorial Pacific What is El Nino? It is a climate pattern that develops in the equatorial Pacific Ocean when sea surface temperatures become warmer than normal. This warming changes wind patterns and air pressure, which then affects weather across the world. It happens when the usual trade winds weaken, allowing warm water that is normally pushed toward the western Pacific to spread toward the central and eastern Pacific. As a result, weather patterns shift globally, often causing heavy rain and …
