Scientists Tracked a Monster Solar Region for 94 Days. Here’s What They Discovered
Our sun spins on its axis about once every 28 days. Because of that, any active region can be watched from earth for only around two weeks before it turns out of view, then it stays hidden for roughly another two weeks on the far side.
“Fortunately, the Solar Orbiter mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2020, has broadened our perspective,” says Ioannis Kontogiannis, solar physicist at ETH Zurich and the Istituto ricerche solari Aldo e Cele Daccò (IRSOL) in Locarno.

Kimwolf Android botnet abuses residential proxies to infect internal devices
The Kimwolf botnet, an Android variant of the Aisuru malware, has grown to more than two million hosts, most of them infected by exploiting vulnerabilities in residential proxy networks to target devices on internal networks.
Researchers observed increased activity for the malware since last August. Over the past month, Kimwolf has intensified its scanning of proxy networks, searching for devices with exposed Android Debug Bridge (ADB) services.
Common targets are Android-based TV boxes and streaming devices that allow unauthenticated access over ADB. Compromised devices are primarily used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, proxy resale, and monetizing app installations via third-party SDKs like Plainproxies Byteconnect.
