I'm a #bursar in a highschool, I've done pretty much everything in #admin in the 🇫🇷 #education system.

I'm a cis #gay man and live with my partner and Circé, my #tortoiseshell #cat.

Tortoiseshell has been active since at least 2018 and has a history of leveraging strategic website compromises to facilitate the spread of malware.

PwC reported on a recently-observed sample of malware linked to Iran-based APT Yellow Liderc (aka Imperial Kitten, Tortoiseshell, TA456, Crimson Sandstorm). Between 2022 and 2023, the threat actor conducted strategic web compromises in order to fingerprint website visitors. Targeting of these attacks have focused primarily on the maritime, shipping and logistics sectors. PwC covers the follow-on malware, and provides IOC.

Today's #CaturDay photo was taken Feb 2023 in Tel Aviv, Israel.

This #tortoiseshell feral perches within a shelter area set up by volunteers to care for homeless cats. The shelter is part of a tiny green space next to a freeway.

This cat doesn't seem to belong to anyone, yet they have (and are cared for by) a community.

Sober reflections today due to current headlines. Sorry. Hope you...and your cats...are safe.

Önskar alla en fin kväll med ett besök jag fick för länge sen.

Efter flera försök lyckades jag få ut min vän i det fria igen.

My art project this week, repainting this figurine of an intelligent cat I found at the Orleans Value Village to look more like my old departed kitty Tshokola (2008-22) #tortoiseshell #catart

What a glow up.

#Purrsday birthday wishes to Bean, who, with her siblings Daisy, Oliver, Osiris, Shadow and Stitch, turned 1 yesterday.

Ten years old, but still a kitten. Very mater-of-fact about her prerogatives. Likes to get under the covers in order to warm her pads on my bare legs. #cat #catsofmastodon #tortie #tortoiseshell #cute #photo #photograph

(I change my profile pic very, very often.)

Sabrina has had lots of interest but no adoption yet. I don’t know how, look at that face 😻 she’s such a loveable rascal 🐈‍⬛🧺 #catsofmastodon #rescuekitten #brisbane #fosterkitten #adoptdontshop #cats #tortoiseshell

It's time for the :blobcatdab: CAT TAX :blobcatdab:

Circé in a rare moment of stillness. #Tortoiseshell #CatsOfMastodon #Cat #SleepingCat

Cat tax. Clearly #Circé is in a lot of pain and stress.

#CatsOfMastodon #Tortoiseshell #Cat #AdoptDontShop

This is my cat Sparky, a 16 year old tortoiseshell moggie adopted from #CatsProtection four years ago. Sparky is occasionally affectionate, often feisty, always beautiful. After a shy start, she rules the place, as well she should.

#RescueCat #Cat #Tortoiseshell #QueenOfTheHouse

Cat tax. So much energy. #tortoiseshell #CatOfMastodon #Circé #sleep

Well, this cat is obviously very stressed out.

So is this how you become famous? By exposing your pussy?

Here it is then.

#introduction
I’m Josh/Yoshi.
I work as a Senior Threat Researcher hunting for state aligned cyber threat actors (aka APTs).
I focus on threats suspected of originating in the Middle East & North Africa Region, primarily Iranian aligned threats like #TA453 (#CharmingKitten), #TA450 (#Muddywater), and #TA456 (#Tortoiseshell).

Before this, I did #threatIntel work in healthcare. Before that, I worked for the #FBI.

I live in Chicago(land) with 3 kids, 2 dogs and my beautiful wife.

I’m a huge fan of #StarWars and the #LAChargers

This seems like a pretty cool place, excited to see how it grows.
