What's Changing

• Under our existing policies relating to illegal or regulated goods or services, we don’t allow any method of directing viewers to gambling sites or applications that are not certified by Google. This now includes URLs, links embedded in images or text, visual displays (incl. logos) or verbal references. Please note that content promising guaranteed returns may be removed regardless of whether the online gambling site or application has been approved by Google.
• Content that does not violate our Community Guidelines but still features depictions or promotions of online casino sites or apps may be age-restricted. This means that online gambling content (excluding online sports betting and depictions of in-person gambling) won’t be viewable to signed-out users or users under 18.

A recent measurement study by Prof. Doug Leith, Professor of Computer Systems in Trinity’s School of Computer Science and Statistics, shows that advertising and tracking cookies and other device and user identifiers are sent by Google servers and stored on a handset, even when no Google apps have ever been opened by the user.

Key findings

• Proofpoint researchers identified a highly targeted email-based campaign targeting fewer than five Proofpoint customers in the United Arab Emirates with a distinct interest in aviation and satellite communications organizations, along with critical transportation infrastructure.
• The malicious messages were sent from a compromised entity in a trusted business relationship with the targets, and used lures customized to every target.
• This campaign led to the newly discovered backdoor dubbed Sosano by Proofpoint, which leveraged numerous techniques to obfuscate the malware and its payload, likely indicating an adversary with significant development capabilities with an interest in protecting their payloads from easy analysis.
• The campaign used polyglot files to obfuscate payload content, a technique that is relatively uncommon for espionage-motivated actors in Proofpoint telemetry and speaks to the desire of the operator to remain undetected.
• Proofpoint tracks this new threat cluster as UNK_CraftyCamel.
