CVE-2025-24054, NTLM Exploit in the Wild

A critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-24054, related to NTLM hash disclosure via spoofing, has been actively exploited since March 19, 2025. The flaw allows attackers to leak NTLM hashes or user passwords using a maliciously crafted .library-ms file, potentially compromising systems. A campaign targeting government and private institutions in Poland and Romania used malspam to distribute Dropbox links containing archives exploiting this vulnerability. The exploit can be triggered with minimal user interaction, such as right-clicking or navigating to the folder containing the malicious file. This vulnerability appears to be a variant of the previously patched CVE-2024-43451, sharing several similarities.

@mhagmuller Hatte vor vielen Jahren selbst die fragwürdige Ehre, sowohl via Word als auch via #LaTeX diverse Konferenz-Proceedings technisch zu erstellen.

Man muss hier nicht extra betonen, wie viel mehr Schmerz das mit #Word war. Aber auch bei LaTeX war der Aufwand nicht unerheblich.

Persönliches Highlight: ein Prof schickte doch tatsächlich sein Paper als ein doc-File (damals noch ohne "x") für ein (LaTeX-)Proceeding, das er einfach bei der Dateiendung auf ".tex" änderte. 🤦‍♂️

I hope someone is monitoring this account.

The phrase "ending the financialization of homes" is not easily understood, since most homes are financed.

A more-common and more-easily grasped word is 'commodification' or 'commoditization', both of which refer to turning housing into a commodity, like corn or copper, rather than the shelter it really is.

I may be misremembering this, but seeing all these Margaret #thatcher posts on my feed (yesterday was the anniversary of her death), reminds me of an old Virus/Worm for Microsoft Word, that randomly replaced words in documents with the word 'Thatcher'.

Googling can't seem to help me find the find the details, so maybe I dreamed it? (Pretty sure I didn't).

“_Not only did viking helmets not have horns, the Norse people who sailed about the northern world were more likely to be peaceful merchants and traders than plundering raiders and pirates. Viking was an occupation, and an occasional gig at that, not an ethnic identity._”

And that idea is wrong. Not only did viking helmets not have horns, the Norse people who sailed about the northern
