    NEW YORK, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Spaceback has released CTV Launchpad for advertisers, bringing the magic of social to CTV advertising.

Designed to deliver creative agility, CTV Launchpad makes it even easier to use Spaceback’s Social CTV™ and introduces a host of new capabilities including pause ads, branding, versioning, and more. Advertisers get the ease and authenticity of social plus the reach and big format of CTV in one place with no additional creative cost.

    “CTV Launchpad is well-suited to meet the diverse needs of a brand like Dickies, which targets multiple audiences across various business lines. Its ability to rapidly and effectively develop creative assets makes it a valuable tool, especially for brands with small teams. The partnership with Spaceback has already delivered strong performance through Social CTV ads for the brand’s work with Target. We are encouraged by the platform’s new dynamic ad creation capabilities and pleased to see Dickies expanding its use to support direct-to-consumer campaigns,” said Lindsay Burgor, Senior Manager of Brand Media at Dickies.

We needed to eliminate barriers to entry–namely cost and time spent–and drive results, and that’s exactly what our partnership has done! Our work together has even been awarded the best Creative Use of Emerging Technology for the AdExchanger Programmatic Impact Awards. Both platforms continue to push the envelope of what CTV can and should be, and we’re excited to keep innovating together,” said Dan Lapinski, Head of Product Strategy & Operations, Roku Ads Manager.

    “At Universal Ads, we are focused on democratizing TV advertising by breaking down traditional barriers of time, cost, and complexity,” said James Borow, Vice President of Product & Engineering at Universal Ads. “Innovative companies like Spaceback are helping to build the future of TV where brands of any size or budget are empowered to reach new audiences across premium video.” 

    “Epsilon clients are using Spaceback’s enhanced CTV formats to create custom, high-impact experiences quickly and at scale,” said Matt Feczko, Vice President, Product Management at Epsilon. “Epsilon’s unique ability to connect brands to their most valuable customers with these new enhanced CTV formats, and at 8x greater unique reach than other programmatic solutions, enables marketers to achieve better outcomes by engaging more in-market customers beyond social.”

    CTV Launchpad is the right choice for advertisers because it is:

    Instant – Build incredible CTV ads starting with only a social post URL. Spaceback is integrated directly with all of the leading platforms, so you can access social content directly; no need to track down a file!

    Branded – Bring in brand assets automatically using existing elements including your website.

    Customized – Easily import any video files, not just social content, and add interactivity, product info, overlays, dynamic location content, QR codes, and more.

    Premium – Create beautiful 4K CTV-ready ads.

    CTV Launchpad is for advertisers of any size. Enterprises get a lever to engage audiences on the biggest screen in the house, incorporating authentic social content, commerce elements, existing creative assets, build pause ads, and more. For smaller businesses, creative is no longer a barrier to CTV advertising. CTV Launchpad makes it easy to create branded social creative that will look great on TV and engage new audiences without added production or design cost.

    “We’ve built CTV Launchpad for every advertiser, from enterprises looking to leverage the value of their social content to small businesses looking to unlock CTV as a new advertising channel.

  • Retail inflation drops to 3.16% in April 2025, lowest since July 2019

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    India’s retail inflation eased further in April 2025, marking its lowest level in nearly six years. According to data released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), the Consumer Price Index (CPI)-based inflation stood at 3.16% in April, down from 3.34% in March 2025 and significantly lower than 4.83% recorded in April 2024.
     
    This decline of 18 basis points from March makes April’s inflation the lowest year-on-year reading since July 2019.
     
    The fall in overall inflation was primarily driven by a sharp decline in food prices. The Consumer Food Price Index (CFPI)-based food inflation fell to 1.78% in April from 2.69% in March. This is the lowest food inflation since October 2021. The food price easing is largely attributed to lower inflation in vegetables, pulses, fruits, cereals, meat and fish, and personal care items.
     
    In rural areas, headline inflation fell to 2.92% from 3.25% in the previous month. Food inflation in these regions also moderated to 1.85%, down from 2.82%. Urban centres saw a more modest decline in overall inflation, with the April reading at 3.36% compared to 3.43% in March. However, urban food inflation saw a steeper drop to 1.64%, from 2.48% a month earlier.
     
    Among individual components, housing inflation in urban areas remained steady at 3.00%, while the education category saw prices rise by 4.13%, up from 3.98% in March. Health inflation remained largely unchanged at 4.25%. Transport and communication costs rose to 3.73% in April, compared to 3.36% in the previous month. The fuel and light category registered a sharp increase, rising to 2.92% from 1.42% in March.
     
    On a month-on-month basis, the combined CPI index rose by 0.31%, while the food index registered a decline of 0.15%, indicating falling prices in essential food items. Among major food components, vegetable prices fell by 10.98% year-on-year, while the prices of pulses and related products also declined. Fruit prices rose by 13.8%, and oils and fats registered a surge of 17.4%.
     
    The National Statistical Office (NSO) collected price data from 1,114 urban markets and 1,181 villages, ensuring full coverage in rural areas and nearly full coverage in urban locations. The usable data stood at 89.4% for rural and 92.3% for urban markets.
     
    The next CPI inflation data, for May 2025, is scheduled to be released on June 12.

CHD will serve as the exclusive development platform for Caliber’s opportunistic hospitality investments, with a focus on acquiring distressed hotel assets and developing extended stay hotels in high-demand markets.

    The joint venture was seeded with an initial $2 million investment from GIA and is supported by Caliber’s integrated real estate services, including development, construction, finance, and asset management. CHD will operate independently under the Caliber Hospitality brand.

    CHD’s investment strategy is centered around two core initiatives:

    1. Distressed hotel acquisitions – Identifying and acquiring underperforming or mismanaged hotel properties at significant discounts to replacement cost, with the goal of repositioning them for improved performance and long-term value creation.
    2. Ground-up extended stay development – Building in markets with favorable supply-demand dynamics, beginning with the recently announced, two Hyatt Studios developments in Scottsdale Arizona, and Georgetown, Texas.

    The venture is led by Izhak Ben Shabat, a seasoned entrepreneur with a global track record in building and scaling successful businesses across consumer and real estate sectors. Under his leadership, CHD is positioned to act decisively in today’s evolving hospitality landscape.

    “This partnership is built on speed, strategy, and long-term alignment,” said Izhak Ben Shabat, Managing Partner of GIA & CHD. “Our team is excited to work with Caliber to identify and execute high-quality hospitality investments across the country. We already have four pipeline projects and many more to come.”

    In addition to pursuing new projects, CHD will evaluate strategic investments that provide a potential competitive advantage, including innovations that reduce construction costs and improve execution efficiency.

    CHD is actively seeking relationships with hotel owners, brokers, developers, banks, financial institutions, and receivers who have distressed hospitality assets or high-quality extended stay development sites. The company is also inviting institutional and accredited investors to inquire with Caliber to participate in investment opportunities alongside CHD.

    May 13, 2025

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Revitalising health infrastructure towards equitable healthcare

    Source: South Africa News Agency

    By Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko

    In recent weeks, pressing infrastructure challenges facing our public hospitals have been in the spotlight. The recent incidents including the patient complaint at Helen Joseph Hospital and two alarming fires at Tembisa Provincial Tertiary Hospital, have intensified the public discourse around the state of our healthcare facilities. As the MEC for Health and Wellness in Gauteng, I want to assure residents that we are committed to revitalising our health infrastructure for quality patient care.

    We understand and acknowledge the public concerns and we are taking active steps to address these issues. The establishment of in-house Infrastructure Unit at the Gauteng Department of Health is a positive step towards accelerating our efforts to improve the health infrastructure in the province. This Unit has developed a maintenance and refurbishment plan and collaborates closely with facility managers to expedite necessary upgrades.

    This initiative is a fundamental shift on how we manage health infrastructure which previously was mainly overseen by our sister Department of Infrastructure Development. Since the formation of Unit, several facilities have already undergone maintenance and refurbishments. Notable projects include the overhaul of several areas at Mamelodi Regional Hospital such as Radiology department, ART Waiting Area, HOD’s Offices, Eye Clinic, Rest Rooms and Triage and Casualty waiting area. In addition, three wards have been extended, namely, the Female Medical Ward, Male Surgical Ward and Paediatric Ward to increase the bed capacity to take in more patients.

    Significant progress continues at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, where we have completed numerous projects, including the new Psychiatric Admission Ward, ICU wards and extensions to the Adult Burns Unit. The Poly Clinic, Paediatric Ward mother’s waiting area, new outpatient waiting area and restrooms at Edenvale Hospital have also been refurbished. Maintenance and the renovation of critical departments at Rahima Moosa Hospital are at an advanced stage towards completion, so far, renovations of the Breast Milk Bank in Dietetics department and Neonatal isolation room are complete. 

    Helen Joseph Hospital’s Emergency Department which we opened in May 2024, boast eight resuscitation and two isolation rooms, 15 medical rooms, 10 surgical rooms and 6 rooms for critically stable patients. The building has been restructured, receiving new ceiling and roofing, flooring, plumbing, electrification and HVEC as well as an enhanced IT system. It also has improved units for persons living with disabilities and improved staff workstations, including those for porters and cleaners. 

    Another facility that has raised public concerns is Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. Since the fire incident that occurred four years ago, key milestones and progress has been made in restoring the hospital to its full capacity. The appointment of a contractor to undertake the ongoing remedial work project has been completed and the process of destruction and reconstruction is actively underway and progressing well. This remedial work project is being implemented in a phased approach to ensure continuity of the healthcare delivery throughout the reconstruction process. To date, several areas have been completed including the Radiation Oncology Unit, Accident and Emergency Department, access ramp was constructed to allow staff members to easily access 300 parking bays at P3. A new state-of-the-art dry store facility has been constructed to improve storage and accessibility. 

    These projects are just key highlights of our infrastructure revitalisation plan that is underway across all five health districts in the province. A comprehensive maintenance and refurbishment plan developed will ensure that every hospital and clinic undergo the necessary upgrades. We must understand that many of our public hospitals were built decades ago and the aging infrastructure we now face creates challenges for our healthcare system. 

    It is also important to also mention that Gauteng is a populous province with around 16 million residents, many of whom rely on public healthcare services. We also see the influx of patients from nearby provinces and neighbouring countries, this growing population contributes to an increased demand for quality healthcare, further straining the existing facilities. However, we understand that access to healthcare is a Constitutional right for everyone and we continue striving to serve all our patients with compassion and care.  

    As the country gears towards the implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI), we recognise the urgency to prepare our facilities to meet the set criteria for NHI rollout. Amid the fiscal constraints, we are doing our best to address the infrastructure challenges in the public healthcare system. Our plans include not only rehabilitating existing infrastructure but also constructing new facilities to meet the increasing demand. As announced by the Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi when delivering the State of the Province Address, work is ongoing to accelerate the land suitability investigations and business cases towards the construction of the four new hospitals in Daveyton, Diepsloot, Orange Farm and Soshanguve. These projects will go a long way in alleviating the pressure on the public health system and further expanding access to the much-needed healthcare for the residents of Gauteng. 

    As government, we recognise the importance of private-public partnerships and in Gauteng Health, we have seen the generosity of our partners and donors who continue to play their part in ensuring that our facilities are well maintained and equipped to meet the needs of the communities we serve. These private-public partnerships are a testament of what we can achieve when we work together to improve lives and communities.

    In total, seven suspects have been arrested for the alleged murder of Ndlovu and Mdhluli.

    The NPC and AMCF brought a formal application before court on behalf of several media houses after media houses were barred from recording the proceedings or taking photographs of the accused persons without a formal application.

    The represented media houses include:
    – Sunday Times
    – Kaya FM
    – News24
    – SABC
    – Newzroom Afrika
    – eNCA
    – Sowetan
    – Eyewitness News (EWN)

    The two organisations said they understand that not every South African can physically attend court proceedings, and that the order will ensure that citizens can stay informed about crucial developments in the case through the eyes of the media.

    Acting Chairperson of the National Press Club, Antoinette Slabbert, said: “The National Press Club and wider media fraternity has since the disappearance of our brother and colleague Aseri Ndlovu and his partner Zodwa Mdhluli consistently applied pressure to ensure they are brought home.” 

    “Unfortunately, it was not the outcome we hoped for. However, we will not let up now; we will make sure that justice is served for the couple. Today’s order enables us to take our audiences with us as we follow the court proceedings to ensure that those who did these terrible things to the couple account for their evil deeds,” Slabbert said.

    Chairperson of the AMFC, Elijah Mhlanga, said: “We welcome the court’s decision to grant permission for the media to broadcast proceedings in this important case that involves one of our own. This ruling not only upholds the principles of transparency and public access to justice but also allows the community to stay informed about matters of great public interest. 

    “Such coverage fosters an environment where justice is not only done but is also seen to be done. The court order reinforces the democratic principle that justice should be accessible to all. We will continue supporting the families until we see justice served.”

    As the matter returns to court on 19 May 2025, the AMCF and NPC will continue to monitor the proceedings and support the families. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: New scheme offers month-long e-cycle loans

    Source: City of Leicester

    PEOPLE living in Leicester can sign up to a new scheme offering them a free four-week loan of an electric cycle.

    The Leicester e-cycles loan scheme is a city council-led project that aims to encourage more people to consider using an e-cycles as an alternative to the car for short journeys.

    To be eligible for the free e-cycle loan, people need to live in the city and have an Active Leicester membership. It’s quick and easy to sign up for a free pay as you go membership, and there will be no charge for the loan. Applicants must be over 16 years of age.

    The scheme aims to encourage more people to take up cycling for regular trips and leave the car at home for short journeys.

    People who borrow an e-cycle and complete a travel diary showing how it was used will be eligible for a voucher towards the cost of a potential e-cycle purchase.

    The scheme is fully funded through Active Travel England and around 100 e-cycles will be available to borrow as part of the two-year pilot project.

    Cllr Geoff Whittle, assistant city mayor for environment and transport, said: “We’re pleased to be launching this new and completely free electric cycle loan scheme, thanks to funding from Active Travel England. It will offer people a chance to try before they buy and hopefully encourage more people to discover the benefits of cycling for short journeys.

    “It’s also a great opportunity for people to explore the city by bike.”

    All the e-cycles on loan as part of the scheme meet all current UK rules regarding electrically assisted pedal cycles. This means that they have a ‘continuous rated power’ output of no more than 250 watts and a motor that is unable to propel the bike when it’s travelling at more than 15.5mph, which is the current legal limit for electrical assistance.

    News story

    Weimar+ joint statement on Ukraine and Euro-Atlantic security, 12 May 2025

    Joint statement by the foreign ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the UK, and the EU High Representative, following their meeting in London.

    Foreign ministers from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, and the EU Commission at Lancaster House in London on 12 May 2025.

    Joint statement:

    We met in London on 12 May to discuss Russian aggression against Ukraine and Euro-Atlantic security. 

    On Ukraine, we reiterated our solidarity with the Ukrainian people, our sympathy for the victims of recent attacks by Russia, and our full support for Ukraine’s security, sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognised borders. 

    We welcomed US-led peace efforts and the prospect of further talks this week. So far, Russia has not shown any serious intent to make progress. It must do so without delay. We joined Ukraine in calling for an immediate, full, unconditional 30-day ceasefire to create space for talks on a just, comprehensive and lasting peace.

    Any peace will only last if it is based on international law including the UN Charter and Ukraine is able to deter and defend against any future Russian attack. 

    We discussed how we would further step up European efforts to support Ukraine in its ongoing defence against Russia’s war of aggression. Ukraine should be confident in its ability to continue to resist successfully Russian aggression with our support. 

    Strong Ukrainian armed forces will be vital. We agreed to work with Ukraine on initiatives to strengthen Ukraine’s armed forces, restock munitions and equipment, and further enhance industrial capacity.  

    We are committed to robust security guarantees for Ukraine. This includes exploring the creation of a coalition of air, land and maritime reassurance forces that could help create confidence in any future peace and support the regeneration of Ukraine’s armed forces. And we will work on new reconstruction and recovery commitments, including at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome on 10 to 11 July, to ensure that Ukraine’s future security is underpinned by a vibrant economy.

    We agreed to pursue ambitious measures to reduce Russia’s ability to wage war by limiting Kremlin revenues, disrupting the shadow fleet, tightening the Oil Price Cap, and reducing our remaining imports of Russian energy. We will keep Russian sovereign assets in our jurisdictions immobilised until Russia ceases its aggression and pays for the damage caused.

    On Euro-Atlantic security, we reaffirmed that NATO is the bedrock of our security and prosperity. The Alliance has secured peace for over 75 years. A strong, united NATO, based on a strong transatlantic bond, an ironclad commitment to defend each other, and fair burden-sharing, is essential to maintain this. 

    European countries must play a still greater role in assuring our own security. We will further strengthen NATO and the contribution of European Allies by stepping up security and defence expenditure to meet the requirement to deter and defend across all domains in the Euro-Atlantic area. 

    We will use all feasible levers to strengthen our collective defence capability and production and reinforce Europe’s technological and industrial base. To that end, we will build on work in NATO, the EU and likeminded groups to achieve these goals.

    An enhanced security and defence relationship between the UK and EU is key to improving the lives of our people and making our continent more safe and secure, as will enhanced cooperation between NATO and the EU on the basis of the three Joint Declarations, and greater co-operation with Ukraine.

  • MIL-OSI: Abaxx to Launch Singapore Gold Kilobar Futures and Physically-Allocated Gold Pool on June 12, 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Abaxx Technologies Inc. (CBOE:ABXX)(OTCQX:ABXXF) (“Abaxx” or the “Company”), a financial software and market infrastructure company, indirect majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd. (“Abaxx Singapore”), the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (individually, “Abaxx Exchange” and “Abaxx Clearing”), and producer of the SmarterMarkets™ Podcast, today announced that it will be expanding its product suite to include precious metals with the launch of Gold kilobar futures on June 12, 2025.

    Abaxx Singapore Gold Futures are purpose-built for the needs of Asia’s physical bullion trade, reflecting the region’s preferred kilobar format and supporting more accurate pricing by aligning futures settlement with physical market practices. The contract is designed to provide a globally accessible, regionally anchored benchmark that supports effective price discovery, reliable hedging, and physical delivery in one of the world’s leading gold trading hubs. Abaxx’s Gold Singapore Futures contract is a US dollar-denominated, kilobar-sized, physically-deliverable product, with delivery into approved vaults in Singapore.

    “Gold is one of the few assets trusted across all borders, yet its market infrastructure hasn’t kept pace with how and where it’s traded,” said Abaxx Founder, Josh Crumb. “By aligning physically-deliverable futures with the kilobar format and delivery location preferred by Asia’s bullion market, we’re eliminating structural mismatches that have long distorted pricing and impeded risk management. This contract reflects the way gold actually moves through the global system, and delivers the tools needed to hedge and settle accordingly.”

    Introducing Abaxx Spot

    Abaxx is also preparing to launch Abaxx Spot¹, a new physically-allocated (through the undivided interest structure) gold trading platform in Singapore. The platform is designed to align spot and futures gold markets in the same location, facilitate secure physical trading and efficient OTC transfer of kilobars, and aims to enhance market access and transparency through direct participation in a pre-funded central limit order book (CLOB).

    Initial services for Abaxx Spot will begin on June 12, 2025. Abaxx Spot is designed to allow participants to complete delivery obligations for Abaxx Exchange’s gold futures contracts, with the goal of establishing a more integrated and smarter infrastructure for gold markets.

    ¹Abaxx Spot Pte. Ltd. is a registered dealer under the Precious Stones and Precious Metals (Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing) Act 2019 (PSPM Act), and is exempted from holding a spot commodities brokers license under the Commodity Trading Act 1992. Abaxx Spot Pte. Ltd. is not regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a financial institution, but operates in compliance with the regulatory framework established by the PSPM Act.

  • MIL-OSI: Farmers of Salem Proudly Spotlights Breast Cancer Survivor and Employee, Loraine Lester, for Her Generous Charitable Giving Work

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WILMINGTON, Del., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Farmers of Salem, a regional mutual insurance company specializing in insurance for home and business owners, is proud to support employee involvement in charitable activities that improve the quality of life in those communities where our employees live. Today, we spotlight Loraine Lester, AVP, Product & Underwriting Development, who is celebrating her 10-year career with Farmers.

    Back in 2016, Loraine was new to Delaware and struggling to find the right oncologist after her 1st diagnosis. At her doctor’s office she was handed a pamphlet about the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC). “This organization has been there in my good times, when my cancer went into remission, and in the bad times, when I was diagnosed with a reoccurrence that progressed to Stage IV. I have developed a network of survivors who have been through the same process as me. We share our war stories and compare notes.”

    Loraine is a committee member of DBCC’s Lights of Life Gala, held annually, while also serving as a peer mentor for the Peer Mentor Program. For the Gala, Loraine helps backstage with the Survivor Showcase – organizing doctors and/or industry escorts with survivors, in a backstage manager role. Loraine also, chips in where needed with the Gala event setup, organizing meetings, decorations, etc. Next year’s Gala will be on March 7, 2026, held at Bally’s in Dover, DE.

    The mission of DBCC is to empower the community by raising awareness of breast health issues and increasing access to care through outreach, education and support services, and to facilitate early detection and treatment of breast cancer. Their vision is to create a caring community where barriers to breast cancer screenings are removed and all persons at risk, served by DBCC, have access to quality care and treatment. DBCC will ensure each individual diagnosed receives resources to become a thriving survivor, armed with the knowledge and support needed to conquer this disease.

    Commenting on her volunteer work as a Peer Mentor, Loraine said, “I’ve been fortunate to meet and help many mentees over the years. Once we are trained, we are matched with newly diagnosed breast cancer patients that have a similar diagnosis to ours. We are, basically, an outlet for support, a shoulder to cry on, and a resource for the individual to fully understand all that DBCC can provide the survivor on their cancer journey.”

    Not only does Loraine volunteer for the organization, but she continues to use their services. Loraine says, “The Nurture with Nature service is one of my favorites. This program allows cancer survivors to come together to be nurtured and healed by experiencing the power, beauty, and serenity of nature. I also actively participate in their support groups for metastatic thrivers and young survivors, to name a few.”

    Regarding Loraine’s long career at Farmers, she stated: “I really enjoy my job, it offers lots of variety. I also appreciate and enjoy working with my colleagues. They are an extension of my family.”

  • MIL-OSI: Bilibili Inc. Announces Repurchase Right Notification for 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SHANGHAI, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bilibili Inc. (“Bilibili” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BILI and HKEX: 9626), an iconic brand and a leading video community for young generations in China, today announced that it is notifying holders of its 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (CUSIP No. 090040AD8) (the “Notes”) that, pursuant to the Indenture dated as of June 2, 2020 (the “Indenture”) relating to the Notes by and between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, each holder has the right, at the option of such holder, to require the Company to repurchase all of such holder’s Notes or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of US$1,000 principal amount for cash on June 15, 2025 (the “2025 Repurchase Right”). Holders of the Notes may exercise the 2025 Repurchase Right from 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 (the “Repurchase Open Time”) until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday, June 12, 2025 (the “Repurchase Expiration Time”).

    Documents specifying the terms, conditions, and procedures for exercising the 2025 Repurchase Right, including the Company’s 2025 Repurchase Right Notice to holders dated May 13, 2025 (the “Repurchase Right Notice”) will be available through the Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”) and the paying agent, which is Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Paying Agent”). None of the Company, its board of directors, or its employees has made or is making any representation or recommendation to any holder as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising the 2025 Repurchase Right. Each holder of the Notes must make its own decision whether to exercise the 2025 Repurchase Right with respect to such holder’s Notes and, if so, the principal amount of Notes for which the 2025 Repurchase Right should be exercised.

    The 2025 Repurchase Right entitles each holder of the Notes to require the Company to repurchase all of such holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of US$1,000 principal amount. The repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) for such Notes will be an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, June 15, 2025, which is the date specified for repurchase in the Indenture (the “2025 Repurchase Date”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes. The 2025 Repurchase Date is an interest payment date under the terms of the Indenture and the Notes. As June 15, 2025 is not a Business Day (as defined in the Indenture), pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, any action to be taken on the 2025 Repurchase Date may be taken on Monday, June 16, 2025, being the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if taken on the 2025 Repurchase Date with no interest accrued in respect of such delay. Accordingly, on Monday, June 16, 2025, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes through June 14, 2025 to all holders who were holders of record as of close of business on June 1, 2025, regardless of whether the 2025 Repurchase Right is exercised with respect to such Notes. As a result, on the 2025 Repurchase Date, there will be no accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes. As of May 13, 2025, there was US$92,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding. If all outstanding Notes are surrendered for repurchase through exercise of the 2025 Repurchase Right, the aggregate cash purchase price will be US$92,000.

    In order to exercise the 2025 Repurchase Right, a holder must deliver the Notes through the transmittal procedures of the DTC between the Repurchase Open Time and the Repurchase Expiration Time, in the following manner:

    • Holders of the Notes that are held through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee through DTC accounts must contact such nominee and instruct such nominee to exercise the 2025 Repurchase Right by surrendering the Notes on such holders’ behalf through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (the “ATOP”) before the Repurchase Expiration Time.
    • Holders of the Notes who are DTC participants and hold the Notes directly through DTC accounts must surrender the Notes electronically through ATOP before the Repurchase Expiration Time, subject to the terms and procedures of ATOP.

    While the Company does not expect any Notes being or to be issued to a holder other than DTC or its nominee in physical certificate, in the event that physical certificates evidencing the Notes are issued to such a holder, any such holder must complete and sign a 2025 Repurchase Notice in the form attached hereto as Annex A in accordance with the instructions set forth therein, have the signature thereon guaranteed and timely deliver such manually signed 2025 Repurchase Notice, together with the certificated evidencing the Notes to be repurchased and all necessary endorsements to the Paying Agent before the Repurchase Expiration Time.

    HOLDERS THAT HOLD THE NOTES THROUGH DTC ACCOUNTS MAY ONLY EXERCISE THE REPURCHASE RIGHT BY COMPLYING WITH THE TRANSMITTAL PROCEDURES OF DTC AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT A PHYSICAL REPURCHASE NOTICE.

    A holder of the Notes may withdraw such holder’s exercise of the 2025 Repurchase Right with respect to any Notes pursuant to the terms of the 2025 Repurchase Right at any time prior to the Repurchase Expiration Time, which is the second Business Day immediately preceding the 2025 Repurchase Date. If a holder of the Notes has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (as defined in the Indenture) or a repurchase notice with respect to a Note, such holder may not surrender that Note for conversion until the holder has withdrawn the applicable repurchase notice in accordance with the Indenture. The conversion of the Notes is subject to the provisions regarding conversion contained in the Indenture and the Notes.

    This press release is for information only and is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes or any other securities of the Company. The offer to purchase the Notes will be only pursuant to, and the Notes may be surrendered only in accordance with, the Company’s Repurchase Right Notice dated May 13, 2025 and related documents.

    Holders of the Notes should refer to the Indenture for a complete description of repurchase procedures and direct any questions concerning the mechanics of repurchase to the trustee by contacting Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. Holders of Notes may request the Company’s Repurchase Right Notice from the Paying Agent. The name and address for the Paying Agent as well as the Conversion Agent (as defined in the Indenture) are as follows:

  • Ukraine’s Zelenskiy insists on face-to-face talks with Putin in Istanbul

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will only attend talks on Ukraine if Russia’s Vladimir Putin is also there, the Ukrainian leader’s top aide said on Tuesday, challenging the Kremlin to show it is genuine about seeking peace.
     
    U.S. President Donald Trump has offered to attend Thursday’s proposed meeting in Istanbul, which has become the focus of his attempts to end the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War Two. Putin has yet to say if he will take part.
     
    Both Russia and Ukraine have sought to show they are working towards peace after Trump prioritised ending the war, but they have yet to agree any clear path.
     
    Putin on Sunday proposed direct talks with Ukraine after ignoring a Ukrainian proposal for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Trump then publicly told Zelenskiy to accept.
     
    “President Zelenskiy will not meet with any other Russian representative in Istanbul, except Putin,” Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak told Reuters.
     
    His chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said Zelenskiy’s trip to Turkey showed Kyiv was ready for talks but repeated Ukraine’s stance that any negotiations must come after a ceasefire.
     
    “Our position is very principled and very strong,” Yermak said during a visit to Copenhagen.
     
    Moscow has not said if Putin will travel to Turkey.
     
    “We are committed to a serious search for ways of a long-term peaceful settlement,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday but would not comment further on the talks.
     
    Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, unleashing a war that has killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides. Most of Europe has rallied around Kyiv providing arms and financial aid, while Russia has turned to Iran and North Korea for support.
     
    Trump has demanded the two nations end the war, threatening to walk away from efforts to broker a peace deal unless there are clear signs of progress soon.
     
    TRUMP GOES TO TURKEY?
     
    If Zelenskiy and Putin, who make no secret of their mutual contempt, were to meet on Thursday it would be their first face-to-face meeting since December 2019.
     
    Trump, who is due to visit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar this week, unexpectedlyoffered on Mondayto travel to Istanbul, which straddles the divide between Europe and Asia.
     
    “I was thinking about actually flying over there. There’s a possibility of it, I guess, if I think things can happen, but we’ve got to get it done,” Trump said before leaving for his second foreign trip since returning to the White House in January.
     
    “Don’t underestimate Thursday in Turkey,” he added.
     
    Following the offer, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the “way forward for a ceasefire” in Ukraine with his Ukrainian, British, French, Polish, German and EU counterparts.
     
    Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, meanwhile,held talks with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan.
     
    FAR APART
     
    Reuters reported last year that Putin was open to discussing a ceasefire with Trump, but that Moscow ruled out making any major territorial concessions and insists Kyiv abandon ambitions to join NATO.
     
    Ukraine has said it is ready for talks but a ceasefire is needed first, a position supported by its European allies.
     
    Kyiv wants robust security guarantees as part of any peace deal and rejects a Russian proposal for restrictions on the size of its military. Territorial issues could be discussed once a ceasefire is in place, it says.
     
    Putin has repeatedly referred to a 2022 deal which Russia and Ukraine negotiated shortly after the Russian invasion but never finalised.
     
    Under the draft agreement, a copy of which Reuters has reviewed, Ukraine should agree to permanent neutrality in return for international security guarantees from the five permanent U.N. Security Council members: Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.
     
    Ukraine and its European allies have told Russia that it would have to accept an unconditional 30-day ceasefire from Monday or face new sanctions. The Kremlin replied, saying it would not respond to ultimatums.
     
    France said on Monday European leaders, who met in Ukraine over the weekend, had asked the European Commission to put together new “massive” sanctions targeting Russia’s oil and financial sector if Russia failed to agree a ceasefire.
     
    Russia’s forces control just under a fifth of Ukraine, including all of Crimea, almost all of Luhansk, and more than 70% of Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, according to Russian estimates. It also controls a sliver of Kharkiv region.
     
    Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the international affairs committee of the Federation Council, the upper house of Russia’s parliament, told the Izvestia media outlet in remarks published on Tuesday that the talks between Moscow and Kyiv can move further than the 2022 negotiations.
     
    “If the Ukrainian delegation shows up at these talks with a mandate to abandon any ultimatums and look for common ground, I am sure that we could move forward,” he said.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Press release – MEPs push for more coordination and resilience in European electricity grids

    Source: European Parliament 3

    MEPs adopted proposals for enhancing grid resilience, integrating renewable energy sources, and simplifying processes to meet the EU’s energy goals.

    In proposals adopted on Tuesday, MEPs from the Industry, Research and Energy Committee put forward ways to modernise Europe’s electricity grid infrastructure to accommodate the growing demand for renewable energy, ensure a resilient decarbonised electricity system, and support the EU’s energy goals.

    The adopted text calls for the implementation of an EU grid action plan and highlights the need for significant investment and infrastructure upgrades to modernise and increase cross-border transmission capacity.

    Better integration of national energy infrastructures

    MEPs highlight that significant investment and upgrades are required to increase cross-border and national-level transmission capacity and to modernise infrastructure. This includes the need for closer supervision by authorities to ensure a decarbonised, flexible, and resilient electricity system.

    The report calls for clearer and more effective rules and procedures to attract private investment in addition to public funding mechanisms, and ensure that network tariffs reflect real costs. It emphasises the need for investment to address grid bottlenecks and prevent the curtailment – the deliberate reduction of production due to grid capacity limits – of renewable energy.

    MEPs stress the importance of a more coordinated and fully pan-European electricity system planning to connect borders, sectors, and regions. They say that renewable energy sources need to be better integrated into electricity grids and that there should be more cross-border interconnections. Ensuring public acceptance and effective communication with citizens are crucial for the successful implementation of new grid projects, MEPs say.

    Quote

    “The Iberian blackout was a painful demonstration of how vulnerable our grids remain. It was a reminder that Europe’s energy transition will fail unless we invest just as strategically in infrastructure as in renewables. The blackout did not prove the failure of the Energy Union – quite the opposite. Thanks to cross-border interconnectors, France was able to step in immediately. Now the Commission must act decisively to prioritise planning and coordination on grids and storage – or we will keep lurching from one crisis to the next,” lead MEP Anna Sturgkh (Renew, Austria) said.

    “We are sending a clear and strong signal to the Commission to keep a well-financed Connecting Europe Facility for Energy (CEF-E) within the upcoming multi-annual budget proposal. EU funds managed by member states must also be more available for grid updates,” she added.

    Next Steps

    The report was adopted with 52 votes to nine, with two abstentions. It will be put to a vote by the full House during the 16-19 June 2025 plenary session in Strasbourg.

    Background

    The electricity system blackout that occurred in the Iberian Peninsula and parts of France on 28 April 2025 underscored the critical importance of enhancing EU grid resilience. The modernisation of Europe’s electricity grids is essential for achieving the EU’s clean energy transition and delivering renewable energy while supporting economic growth and prosperity. According to the European Commission, €584 billion is necessary for electricity grids this decade. This includes cross-border interconnectors and the adaptation of distribution grids to the energy transition.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Last Month in the Field – April 2025

    Source: Frontex

    In April 2025, Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, demonstrated its broad commitment to keeping Europe’s borders secure through a range of impactful operations and collaborations. From cracking down on smugglers in Eastern Europe to saving lives at sea in the Mediterranean, and from embracing new border technologies to strengthening partnerships across the continent, the month showcased Frontex’s dedication to a safer and more cooperative Europe. The following highlights recap how Frontex and national authorities worked hand-in-hand over the past month, underscoring a professional and proactive approach to European border management. 

    Bulgarian authorities and Frontex scored a victory against cross-border crime this month by stopping a haul of counterfeit goods at the Lesovo border crossing with Turkey. In a joint operation, the Bulgarian Border Police and Customs officers, supported by Frontex Standing Corps officers, intercepted two vehicles loaded with fake designer clothing and footwear. More than 1,400 garments and 900 pairs of shoes bearing logos of famous brands were seized – items that would have been worth an estimated €70,000 on the black market had they slipped through. Some illicit products even carried price tags up to €600 for a single T-shirt, a sign of how convincing the fakes appeared. 

    This success at the EU’s external border was a direct result of vigilant cooperation. As one Frontex officer put it, “It is not easy to tell a fake from an original when it comes to counterfeit goods. But working together with professionals every day, we have become a serious obstacle for smugglers.” The operation highlighted the excellent partnership between Frontex and the Bulgarian authorities in protecting EU consumers and legitimate businesses. The Frontex officer’s praise for his Bulgarian colleagues underscores the fruitful cooperation on the ground. The confiscated counterfeit items will now be used as evidence, preventing them from entering EU markets, while the perpetrators face legal consequences. This case sends a clear message: through close collaboration, border agencies are effectively shutting down smuggling routes for fake goods. 

    Another major enforcement success in April took place on the Romania–Ukraine border, where a joint team from the Romanian Border Police, Romanian Customs, and Frontex thwarted a large-scale cigarette smuggling attempt. In under an hour, officers apprehended two individuals attempting to illegally bring over 2.6 million cigarettes into the EU. The smugglers had gone to great lengths to hide their contraband, using some truly creative compartments to try to evade detection. The team’s discovery was all the more impressive given the inventive hiding places employed, including: 

    Thanks to the sharp eyes and expertise of the border guards, these concealments were uncovered before the illicit cargo could move further into Europe. The Frontex officer supporting the operation – known among colleagues as a veteran in fighting smuggling – played a key role in detecting the contraband. Romanian officials and Frontex supervisors alike praised the operation’s success. One colleague lauded the involved officer as “a true professional with a special and inexhaustible flair for detecting cross-border crime.” This compliment underscores the high level of skill present in such joint teams. The “hats off” accolades went to all Romanian and Frontex personnel involved, highlighting how teamwork and shared intelligence can foil even the most elaborate smuggling schemes. The seizure of 2.6 million cigarettes not only represents a financial blow to organised crime but also protects EU markets and taxpayers from the illegal tobacco trade. It stands as yet another example of effective Frontex support at EU borders, keeping illicit goods out of circulation. 

    As warmer spring weather set in, April saw a surge in irregular migration across the Central Mediterranean, testing the readiness and solidarity of EU border forces. Within just a few days, over 1,100 migrants had arrived on Italian shores, many taking to the sea in flimsy boats launched from North Africa. This sudden influx – more than one thousand people in a 72-hour span – put considerable strain on Italy’s reception facilities and underscored the ongoing challenges in this maritime corridor. In response, Frontex and several EU Member States mobilised swiftly to ensure lives were protected and borders monitored. 

    European solidarity was on full display during these rescues. Danish and Lithuanian patrol boats deployed under Frontex’s coordination helped the Italian authorities save nearly 400 people from five small, unseaworthy vessels in the central Mediterranean. Operating under Italy’s lead, the crews from Denmark and Lithuania worked tirelessly to transfer men, women, and children from overcrowded, unsafe boats to the relative safety of EU vessels. At the same time, Frontex aerial surveillance teams intensified patrol flights over the sea. Frontex aircraft spotted multiple migrant boats in distress from the air, relaying precise coordinates to rescue units. This early detection enabled timely life-saving interventions by the Italian Coast Guard and other assets, preventing potential tragedies at sea. 

    Over the course of three days, dozens of rescue operations were carried out by a combination of national and Frontex-deployed resources. Such joint efforts demonstrate the value of a truly integrated European approach: Member States lending support to one another via Frontex when migratory pressure spikes in a particular region. The Executive Director of Frontex noted that every person saved is a testament to the collective commitment of the EU to protect lives. While the Central Mediterranean route remains difficult and dangerous, April’s experience showed how coordinated action can meet these challenges. By pooling vessels, aircraft, and expertise from across Europe, Frontex and its partners helped ensure that a surge in crossings did not turn into a humanitarian disaster. The Agency continues to work closely with Italy and other front-line states, not only to manage irregular migration flows but also to go after the criminal networks exploiting vulnerable migrants. Saving lives at sea remains at the core of Frontex’s mission, alongside securing the EU’s external borders. 

    In April, Frontex achieved a significant milestone in enhancing border security technology and cooperation. Thanks to a new agreement with Cyprus, Frontex officers now have direct access to Cyprus’s national border database at crossing points. This development means that Frontex personnel deployed in support of Cypriot authorities can instantly check traveler information and other border data just as national officers do. The immediate benefits of this integration are clear, leading to: 

    • Faster, more secure screening at airports and other entry points, reducing wait times for travelers while enhancing security through better information sharing. 

    By plugging into Cyprus’s databases, Frontex can help close information gaps and streamline operations on the ground. This is one of the first practical outcomes of a broader initiative to improve data-driven border management. Importantly, preparations are underway for the full rollout of Frontex’s access to the Schengen Information System (SIS) – Europe’s largest security database – which will take cooperation to the next level in the near future. Gaining SIS access will enable Frontex officers to spot persons or objects of interest (such as stolen documents or wanted individuals) across all of Europe’s borders in real time, greatly amplifying their effectiveness. 

    This deepening tech integration with Member States exemplifies Frontex’s push for “smart borders.” It shows how investing in modern IT solutions can make border control both faster and more secure, without compromising on thoroughness. Cypriot authorities have welcomed Frontex’s connectivity to their systems, noting that it serves as a force multiplier for national border guards. Together, Frontex and Cyprus are building a border management approach that is fast, fair, and future-ready – one that leverages the best of technology and teamwork to protect the EU’s external frontiers. 

    This month marked two years since the launch of the joint operation between Frontex and North Macedonia, a partnership that has significantly bolstered border security in the Western Balkans. In April 2023, North Macedonia became the first Western Balkan country to host Frontex border teams under a special status agreement, and two years on, the results of this cooperation are evident and worth celebrating. Frontex Standing Corps officers have been working side by side with North Macedonian Border Police along the country’s borders, sharing expertise and helping to manage migratory movements and security threats in the region. Together, over the past 24 months, they have achieved several important milestones in border management, including: 

    • Joint patrols conducted along North Macedonia’s borders with neighbouring countries, enhancing surveillance and the ability to intercept irregular crossings or illicit activities. These mixed teams have increased the visibility and reach of border control, acting as a deterrent to smugglers and traffickers. 

    • Delivery of modern equipment and technical assets to North Macedonia’s authorities. Frontex has provided patrol vehicles, document inspection devices, and other specialist tools to strengthen the country’s border infrastructure. This upgraded equipment means local border guards are better equipped to spot fake documents, hidden contraband, or unauthorised entries. 

    • Stronger overall border protection for North Macedonia and Europe. By reinforcing a key section of the Balkan migration route, the cooperation has contributed to greater security for the entire EU external border. It has helped manage migration flows more effectively and cracked down on cross-border crime, from migrant smuggling to contraband trafficking, benefitting all Europeans. 

    Frontex and North Macedonia’s officials commemorated the two-year anniversary by reflecting on these successes and looking ahead to continued collaboration. The presence of European border guards in North Macedonia underscores the EU’s commitment to working with its neighbours to tackle shared challenges. It also provides invaluable experience to all the officers involved, creating a spirit of camaraderie and mutual understanding. According to Frontex’s leadership, this partnership is a model of EU–Western Balkans cooperation, showing how aligning procedures and sharing resources can lead to concrete improvements in security and border management. As the operation enters its third year, Frontex plans to maintain its support, including further training for North Macedonia’s officers and ongoing joint patrols, thereby maintaining the positive momentum. The past two years have laid a solid foundation for even closer ties and a more secure region in the future. 

    Frontex’s activities in April were not limited to field operations – they also extended to strategic dialogue at the highest levels. A noteworthy event took place at the Frontex Operational Headquarters in Piraeus, Greece, where Commander Georgios Pyliaros (the Frontex Field Commander in Greece) hosted a high-level meeting with Admiral José António Vizinha Mirones, the Commander of the Portuguese Maritime Police. Admiral Mirones visited the Piraeus headquarters as part of a Joint Coordination Board discussion, focusing on the current operational situation and challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly regarding migration flows affecting Greece and Cyprus. 

    During this visit, both leaders exchanged insights on maritime border security and reinforced their commitment to close cooperation. Commander Pyliaros expressed, on behalf of Frontex’s chain of command, sincere appreciation for Portugal’s continued contribution to Frontex-led operations. He highlighted the professionalism and dedication displayed by the Portuguese crews operating coastal patrol vessels in Greek waters. These Portuguese Maritime Police teams, deployed under Frontex, have been instrumental in joint patrols and search-and-rescue missions in the Aegean Sea, and their exemplary performance and seamless integration with Frontex units have not gone unnoticed. Admiral Mirones, for his part, conveyed gratitude for the opportunity to visit and engage with Frontex’s Greece office. He commended the collective effort being made to safeguard Europe’s maritime borders and stressed the importance of ongoing collaboration. Both officials agreed that maintaining strong partnerships – such as the one between Frontex and Portugal – is crucial in addressing migration and security challenges at sea. 

    The meeting concluded on a highly positive note, symbolising the unity of purpose among European border and coast guard services. In a ceremonial gesture, commemorative coins were exchanged between Frontex and the Portuguese Maritime Police, underscoring mutual respect and teamwork. This high-level maritime dialogue not only strengthened bilateral ties but also provided strategic guidance for field operations. With Portugal’s vessels and crews continuing to serve in Frontex missions, such coordination ensures that everyone is rowing in the same direction. The result is a more effective response to irregular migration by sea and a safer maritime environment for all. These talks in April set the stage for even more synchronised efforts in the months to come, reaffirming that European partners stand stronger together in protecting the EU’s external borders. 

    Frontex also invested in long-term security capacity this month by focusing on the fight against illicit firearms. Firearms trafficking is a growing threat to EU internal security, especially in times of war and instability when weapons can more easily find their way onto the black market. In April, within the framework of the EU’s EMPACT initiative (European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats), Frontex led a specialised training programme in Poland aimed at sharpening the skills of border guards in intercepting illegal arms. The training was hosted at the Polish Border Guard Academy in Kętrzyn – a centre known for advanced law enforcement training – and brought together officers from 10 EU Member States. These participants, all of them frontline border or customs officers, underwent intensive instruction on how to better detect and stop the smuggling of firearms at EU borders. 

    Over the course of the training, the multinational group of officers learned about concealment methods and detection techniques for firearms. Experts shared real-case examples of smugglers attempting to hide weapons and ammunition in vehicles, cargo, or personal luggage, highlighting red flags to watch for. The trainees practiced using x-ray scanners, metal detectors, and other tools to identify weapons hidden in creative ways. They also exchanged intelligence on smuggling routes and the latest trends in gun trafficking, recognising that traffickers are constantly adapting their methods. By simulating realistic scenarios, the course enabled officers to hone their decision-making under pressure – for instance, when discovering a hidden handgun during a routine vehicle inspection at a border crossing. The overarching goal was to equip frontline officers with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to intercept firearms before those weapons can reach our streets and communities. 

    This EMPACT-supported training in Poland is part of a broader EU effort to cut off the supply of illegal firearms that can fuel organised crime or even terrorism. By investing in people and skills, Frontex and its partners are strengthening a critical line of defence against gun trafficking. The officers who completed the course in Kętrzyn will take their enhanced expertise back to their home countries – from Scandinavia to Southern Europe – multiplying the impact. They form a network of trained specialists who can also share best practices with colleagues, thus raising overall capacity across the EU. Frontex officials highlighted that such cooperative training not only improves technical know-how but also builds trust and communication channels among European border agencies. Ultimately, this means better coordinated operations and information-sharing when it comes to stopping dangerous weapons from crossing into the EU. The training concluded with participants and instructors affirming their commitment to stay one step ahead of firearms traffickers. As new security challenges emerge, continuous professional development like this ensures that Europe’s border guards remain vigilant and prepared. 

    April 2025 showcased the full spectrum of Frontex’s mission – from frontline enforcement and lifesaving rescues to technological advancement and international partnership. As Europe’s external border challenges continue to evolve with the changing seasons and geopolitical context, Frontex is moving ahead with resolve. The Agency is leveraging the momentum from April’s successes to further strengthen cooperation, whether by expanding joint operations in partner countries or by welcoming more contributions from Member States. It is accelerating the adoption of modern technology and information systems to give border guards an edge in both speed and accuracy. Equally, Frontex remains committed to investing in its people – through training, leadership development, and a culture of shared expertise – recognising that a well-prepared human element is key to any high-tech solution. In the coming months, Frontex will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with EU countries at their borders, upholding European values of security and solidarity. By building on the foundations laid in April, the European Border and Coast Guard will be even better equipped to tackle whatever challenges the future holds – protecting the EU’s borders and the people who depend on them, with professionalism, compassion, and unity.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Press release – Child sexual abuse: updated rules to address new technological risks

    Source: European Parliament 3

    On Tuesday, the Civil Liberties Committee endorsed legislative changes to improve EU countries’ capacity to fight child sexual abuse effectively.

    Updating the EU-wide definitions of the crimes linked to child sexual abuse (CSA), the proposal endorsed by MEPs also adapts them to new technologies. The aim is to improve cooperation between national authorities on investigations and prosecutions and on victim support.


    Higher punishments and no limitation periods

    In their amendments, MEPs propose to raise the maximum punishments for a number of CSA offences, including for sexual activities with children above the age of sexual consent who do not consent. Other examples are recruiting children for exploitation in prostitution, possessing or distributing CSA material, and offering remuneration for certain CSA crimes.

    MEPs also want to abolish limitation periods for crimes covered by the updated law, since statistics show that the majority of victims only speak about their experiences a long time after the offence occurred. Victims should also be able to seek compensation indefinitely.


    New technological crimes

    To bring EU laws up to date with technological developments, MEPs want to criminalise explicitly the use of artificial intelligence systems “designed or adapted primarily” for CSA crimes. They have also endorsed provisions on the livestreaming of CSA, and dissemination online of related material.

    To make investigations more effective, MEPs are pushing for the possibility to conduct undercover investigations and employ covert surveillance methods, including “honeypots”.


    Definition of consent and exemptions for peers

    MEPs want a new definition of consent specifically for children who are above the age of sexual consent. No member state should criminalise consent-based interactions between peers, if it involves no abuse of trust or dependency, they argue. Pretending to be a peer should, however, be a punishable aggravating circumstance.


    Reporting and victim support

    Child victim support should be free of charge and include medical and forensic examinations, help with documenting evidence, gender-sensitive medical care and access to sexual and reproductive healthcare. MEPs want this to be in line with the Barnahus model, where services come together under one roof to support child victims.

    The committee report states that reporting mechanisms should have adequate funding and be user-friendly and gender-sensitive. Third parties, such as civil society organisations, should also be able to report crimes.


    Quote

    Rapporteur Jeroen Lenaers (EPP, Netherlands) said: “We need to make sure our laws to fight child sexual abuse are up to date and that we criminalise new phenomena, including so-called “instruction manuals” that facilitate abuse, livestreamed abuse and deep-fake CSA material. We also want tougher punishments and more mechanisms for reporting abuse. Because it often takes decades for victims to come forward, we need to abolish the limitation periods for these crimes. We owe it to victims to support them properly through the legal process and ensure that justice is done.”


    Next steps

    The Civil Liberties Committee adopted the draft position by 57votes in favour, 0 against, and with 0 abstentions. Parliament will debate and vote on this position in plenary during its 16-19 June session, after which negotiations with Council on the final form of the law can begin.


    Background

    The recast directive on sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children, child sexual abuse material and solicitation of children includes measures to harmonise EU countries’ definitions of and punishments for crimes, covering both online and offline activity.

    A separate proposal for a regulation on child sexual abuse material is also being discussed by lawmakers. The European Parliament adopted its position on the draft regulation in 2023; legislative talks can begin once Council reaches a common position.

  • In birthright citizenship case, US Supreme Court gets two controversies in one

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    One of President Donald Trump’s most contentious policies – his attempt to restrict automatic birthright citizenship – arrives at the U.S. Supreme Court this week with an unusual twist: The justices may focus on something else entirely.

    Federal judges in Washington state, Massachusetts and Maryland issued orders blocking Trump’s January executive order nationwide, finding the directive likely violated language in the U.S. Constitution concerning citizenship for babies born in the United States.

    But through an emergency filing, Trump’s administration has focused the Supreme Court’s attention not on the legality of the action by the Republican president but rather on the permissibility of the actions by the three judges – whether federal judges should have the power to issue broad orders that block challenged polices on a nationwide, or “universal,” basis.

    The administration asked the court to narrow the injunctions to let the government enforce Trump’s directive – part of his hardline approach to immigration – to the greatest extent possible while the legal fight over the policy plays out.

    The court may do so “without considering the underlying merits” of Trump’s action, the administration asserted.

    That approach would set up the possibility of the court, which has as a 6-3 conservative majority, allowing broad enforcement of the policy without assessing whether or not it is legal.

    The matter came to the court on a compressed timeline and with minimal written briefing.

    The way the court is considering the case “seems quite strange,” said Alan Trammell, a professor at Washington and Lee University School of Law in Virginia, because “even though the substantive question of birthright citizenship technically isn’t before the court, it still looms large.”

    “It concerns one of the most important provisions of the Constitution and implicates a raging political debate,” Trammell said.

    Trump’s order, signed on his first day back in office, directed federal agencies to refuse to recognize the citizenship of U.S.-born children who do not have at least one parent who is an American citizen or lawful permanent resident.

    Trump’s order was challenged by Democratic attorneys general from 22 states as well as individual pregnant immigrants and advocacy groups. The plaintiffs have said the directive violates a right enshrined in the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 and long has been understood to confer citizenship to virtually anyone born in the United States.

    Trammell noted that the administration has not contested whether the injunctions should have been issued, asking the justices only to scale back their nationwide effect to protect just the plaintiffs in the cases.

    “The situation would be very odd indeed if the court concluded that the plaintiffs’ view of the merits is correct, yet gave only the individual plaintiffs the benefit of that ruling,” Trammell said.

    ‘BIRTH TOURISM’

    The 14th Amendment states that all “persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”

    The administration contends that the 14th Amendment does not extend to immigrants who are in the country illegally or even to immigrants whose presence is lawful but temporary, such as university students or those on work visas.

    Automatic birthright citizenship does not reflect the best reading of the 14th Amendment and it encourages “birth tourism” by expectant mothers traveling the United States to give birth and secure citizenship for their children, the administration argued in court filings.

    At the Supreme Court, the administration has targeted only the universal scope of the injunctions, content to leave them in place to protect only the people who sued as well as the residents of the 22 states, assuming the Supreme Court finds that these states have the necessary legal standing to bring their cases. That outcome would let Trump’s order go into effect in the 28 states that did not sue, aside from any plaintiffs from those states.

    The Justice Department said the issuance of broad judicial injunctions has bedeviled administrations of both parties, Republican and Democratic, and must be urgently rectified by the Supreme Court. Trump himself on March 20 called the situation “toxic” and urged the Supreme Court to act.

    Since Trump returned to office, many of his numerous executive orders and other initiatives have been impeded by judges, including through universal injunctions.

    “The need for this court’s intervention has become urgent as universal injunctions have reached tsunami levels,” the Justice Department said in a written filing.

    If the justices agree to scale back the judicial blocks, it could lead to a nation geographically fractured between places where babies are born with automatic citizenship and places where they are not, the plaintiffs said.

    “An infant would be a United States citizen and full member of society if born in New Jersey, but a deportable noncitizen if born in Tennessee,” the plaintiffs in the Maryland case told the justices.

    IDAHO TRANSGENDER CASE

    The Justice Department has cited the Supreme Court’s action in a case last year to back up its request to narrow the injunctions. In that case, called Labrador v. Poe, Idaho asked the justices to let the state enforce a Republican-backed ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors after a federal judge blocked it as unconstitutional.

    The Supreme Court, over the dissent of its three liberal members, granted Idaho’s request that the statewide injunction be pared back to cover only the transgender plaintiffs who actually sued.

    The scope of an injunction is significant, the Justice Department told the Supreme Court, and ensuring that lower courts do not act beyond their limited judicial power “is just as critical as merits review,” meaning an assessment of an action’s legality.

    A Justice Department spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

    Some legal experts said the cases differ for numerous reasons. For instance, they said, the Idaho case involved one state, not a presidential executive order applying nationally.

    Even though the administration has made the dispute primarily about universal injunctions, some court observers have said the justices could decide to rule on the legality of Trump’s order anyway.

    It is unusual for the court “to be considering an emergency application in this context,” University of Chicago law professor William Baude said.

    “Because of that, we won’t know what the court is going to focus on until the oral arguments start,” Baude added.

  • MIL-OSI: Sophos Accelerates Business Growth and Profitability for MSPs with the Launch of MSP Elevate Program

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    OXFORD, United Kingdom, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sophos, a global leader of innovative security solutions for defeating cyberattacks, today launched MSP Elevate, a new business-accelerating program for managed service providers (MSPs). With the new program, Sophos enables MSPs to expand their business with high-value, differentiated cybersecurity offerings that elevate their customers’ cyber defenses and rewards growth with additional investment to fuel further success.

    With the increasing complexity and sophistication of today’s cyberattacks, organizations are increasingly turning to MSPs for 24/7, human-led monitoring and management of their cybersecurity environments. This has made Managed Detection and Response (MDR) a major focus for MSPs with 81% currently offering a MDR service, according to the Sophos MSP Perspectives 2024 report. MSP Elevate helps MSPs to differentiate themselves as a high-value provider to customers by delivering unique business-enhancing benefits, including an exclusive high-value Sophos MDR service offering.

    Managing multiple cybersecurity platforms is a major overhead for MSPs and consumes valuable billable hours. MSPs estimate that consolidating on a single platform would slash their day-to-day management time by 48%*. MSP Elevate includes Network-in-a-Box bundles that enable MSPs to manage the full network stack through the unified Sophos Central platform, freeing-up staff for business generation activities. Furthermore, the single biggest perceived risk to MSP’s businesses is the shortage of in-house cybersecurity expertise*. Sophos’ network solutions respond automatically to threats across the customer environment, enabling MSPs to elevate their customers’ defenses without adding workload.

    “MSP Elevate is the first of many business-driving MSP programs following the powerhouse union of Sophos and Secureworks,” said Chris Bell, senior vice president of global channel, alliances and corporate development. “As a channel-first organization that defends more than 250,000 customers of MSPs, we are constantly looking for opportunities to reward our partners and invest in their success when they grow their business with us. MSP Elevate fuels long-term growth for our partners by providing MSPs with exclusive solution access, discounts, rebates and training to deliver the best possible value to customers.”

    MSP Elevate is a non-exclusive commitment to sell Sophos’ best-in-class cybersecurity solutions available on the Sophos Central platform, including Sophos MDR, Sophos Endpoint powered by Intercept X, and Sophos Firewall. To access the program benefits, MSPs need to commit to a minimum monthly spend for a 12-month period. As a pre-requisite to joining MSP Elevate, partners need to be part of the MSP Flex program, which enables MSPs to offer Sophos solutions on a monthly billing basis.

    “Joining MSP Elevate is a no-brainer. This new program adds further rocket fuel to the MSP growth trajectory we’ve enjoyed with Sophos over the last 17 years. Not all MDR offerings are the same, and I’m excited to be able to offer a superior service based around value and quality of outcomes that will elevate my customers’ defenses and differentiate my business in this increasingly crowded market,” said Craig Faiers, sales director, Arc.

    With 80% of MSPs offering MDR through a specialist vendor for delivery*, partners can choose to have Sophos fully deliver the MDR service or to use Sophos to augment in-house teams, including for the provision of out-of-hours coverage. This is particularly important considering 88% of ransomware attacks start outside of standard business hours, according to Sophos’ Active Adversary report.

    Sophos MDR is the service most trusted by MSPs to secure their clients and currently defends more than 18,000 MSP-managed customer environments against advanced threats, including ransomware. This unmatched breadth of customer coverage delivers unparalleled insights into attacks on MSP-managed environments that are continually leveraged to update customers’ defenses in real-time, optimizing their protection from ever-evolving attacks.

  • MIL-OSI: Altus Group Releases its Q1 2025 Pan-European Dataset Analysis on CRE Valuation Trends

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Altus Group Limited (“Altus”) (TSX: AIF), a leading provider of commercial real estate (“CRE”) intelligence, today released its Q1 2025 Pan-European dataset analysis on European property market valuation trends.

    Each quarter, Altus Group centralizes and aggregates CRE valuation data for the European market, pulling insights into the factors driving commercial property valuations. The Q1 2025 aggregate dataset included Pan-European open-ended diversified funds, representing €29 billion in assets under management. The funds cover 17 countries and primarily span the industrial, office, retail and residential property sectors.

    “We’re encouraged to see the slow but steady growth across all major property sectors for the third consecutive quarter, reinforcing cautious optimism in the European real estate market,” said Phil Tily, Senior Vice President at Altus Group. “The resilience of residential and industrial assets reflects ongoing investor appetite for sectors underpinned by strong cashflows and rental growth. While macroeconomic conditions remain mixed, the stabilization in yields and improved fundamentals point to a maturing recovery cycle across the region.”

    Commercial property values across the Pan-European valuation dataset increased for the third consecutive quarter in Q1, rising 0.8% over Q4 and 2% year-over-year. All sectors are seeing gains, albeit with a mixed set of results from a yield and cashflow perspective.

    Key highlights by sector include:

    • Residential: The residential sector was the top performer in Q1 with a 1.5% value increase over Q4 2024. The improvement continued to be driven by comparatively strong cash flow fundamentals with above-average rent growth for the second consecutive quarter. The Netherlands was the strongest market in Q1, supported by increased market rents.
    • Industrial: After leading performance in Q4 2024, the industrial sector saw modest growth in Q1 2025, up 0.8% over Q4 2024. Yields held steady over the quarter, but a further strengthening of cashflows and an increase in market rents and contract rents helped industrial values rise marginally for a fourth consecutive quarter. While values improved across all industrial market, Italy and Spain had the largest gains in Q1.
    • Office: Office values rose 0.8% in Q1 2025 over Q4 2024, up for three consecutive quarters. Yield improvement and strengthening cash flows contributed to the rise in values. France saw the largest valuation gains, whereas Germany and the U.K. experienced declines in value this quarter.
    • Retail: The retail sector also saw modest growth in Q1, with values rising 0.5% over Q4 2024. Rising yields held back values for shopping centres in Q1, while declining yields boosted values for high street shops and supermarkets. Retail warehouses continue to be the top performing asset within the sector over the past year.
    • Other: Outside of the main sectors, student accommodation assets surpassed hotels and led performance this quarter, with values rising by 3.0% over Q4 2024.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: Using a Mythic agent to optimize penetration testing

    Source: Securelist – Kaspersky

    Headline: Using a Mythic agent to optimize penetration testing

    Introduction

    The way threat actors use post-exploitation frameworks in their attacks is a topic we frequently discuss. It’s not just about analysis of artifacts for us, though. Our company’s deep expertise means we can study these tools to implement best practices in penetration testing. This helps organizations stay one step ahead.

    Being experts in systems security assessment and information security in general, we understand that a proactive approach always works better than simply responding to incidents that have already occurred. And when we say “proactive”, we imply learning new technologies and techniques that threat actors may adopt next. That is why we follow the latest research, analyze new tools, and advance our pentesting expertise.

    This report describes how our pentesters are using a Mythic framework agent. The text is written for educational purposes only and intended as an aid for security professionals who are conducting penetration testing with the system owner’s consent.

    It’s worth noting that Kaspersky experts assign a high priority to the detection of the tools and techniques described in this article as well as many similar others employed by threat actors in real-world attacks.

    These efforts to counter malicious actors use solutions like Kaspersky Endpoint Security that utilize the technologies listed below.

    • Behavioral analysis tracks processes running in the operating system, detects malicious activity, providing added security for critical OS components such as the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service process.
    • Exploit prevention stops threat actors from taking advantage of vulnerabilities in installed software and the OS itself.
    • Fileless threats protection detects and blocks threats that, instead of residing in the file system as traditional files, exist as scheduled tasks, WMI subscriptions, and so on.
    • There are many others too.

    However, it’s worth noting that since our study discusses a sophisticated attack controlled directly by a malicious actor (or a pentester), more robust defense calls for a layered approach to security. This must incorporate security tools to help SOC experts quickly detect malicious activity and respond in real time.

    These include Endpoint Detection and Response, Network Detection and Response and Extended Detection and Response solutions as well as Managed Detection and Response services. They provide continuous monitoring and response to potential incidents. Usage of threat intelligence to acquire up-to-date and relevant information about attacker tactics and techniques is another cornerstone of comprehensive defense against sophisticated threats and targeted attacks.

    This study is the product of our exploration and analysis: how we as defenders can best prepare and what we should expect. What follows is part one of the report in which we compare pentesting tools and choose the option that suits the objectives of our study. Part two deals with how to communicate with the chosen framework and achieve our objectives.

    An overview of ready-made solutions

    Selecting pentesting tools can prove a challenging task. Few pentesters can avoid detection by EPP or EDR solutions. As soon as a pentesting tool gains popularity among attackers, defensive technologies begin detecting not only its behavior, but also its individual components. Besides, the ability to detect the tool becomes a key performance indicator for these technologies. As a result, pentesters have to spend more time preparing for a project.

    At the same time, many existing solutions have flaws that impede pentesting. Ethical hackers, for example, frequently use Cobalt Strike. The Beacon agent uses a specific opcode sequence in platform version 4.9.1. To avoid detection by security solutions, opcodes must be changed, but that breaks the agent.

    Immutable opcode sequence for Cobalt Strike agent

    Another example is Metasploit’s Meterpreter payload, whose signatures appear in Microsoft’s antivirus database more than 230 times, making the tool significantly more difficult to use in projects.

    The Sliver framework is an open-source project. It is in active development, and it can handle pentesting tasks. However, this project has a number of drawbacks, too.

    1. The size of a payload generated by the framework is 8–9 megabytes. This reduces flexibility because the ideal size of a pentesting agent that ensures versatility is about 100 KB.
    2. Stability issues. We’ve seen active sessions drop. The framework once lacked support for automatically using a proxy server from the Windows configuration, which also complicated its use. This has since been addressed.

    The Havoc framework and its Demon payload are currently gaining popularity: both are evolving, and both support evasion techniques. However, the framework currently suffers from a lack of compliance with operational security (OPSEC) principles and stability issues. Additionally, payload customization in Havoc is limited by rigid parameters.

    As you can see, we cannot fully rely on open-source projects for pentesting due to their significant shortcomings. On the other hand, creating tools from scratch would require extra resources, which is inefficient. So, it’s crucial to strike the right balance between building in-house solutions and leveraging open-source projects.

    Payload structure

    First, let’s define what kind of payload is required for pentesting. We had decided to split it into three modules: Stage 0, Stage 1 and Stage 2. The first module, Stage 0, creates and runs the payload. It must generate an artifact, such as a shellcode, a DLL or EXE file, or a VBA script, and provide maximum flexibility by offering customizable parameters for running the payload. This module also handles the circumvention of security measures and monitors the runtime environment.

    The second module (Stage 1) must allow the operator to examine the host, perform initial reconnaissance, and then use that information to establish persistence via a payload maintaining covert communications. After successfully establishing persistence, this module must launch the third module (Stage 2) to perform further activities such as lateral movement, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and credential harvesting.

    Three payload modules

    The Stage 0 module has to be written from scratch, as available tools quickly get detected by security systems and become useless for penetration testing. To implement the Stage 1 module, we settled on a hybrid approach: partially modifying existing open-source projects while implementing some features in-house. For the third module (Stage 2), we also used open-source projects with minor modifications.

    This article details the implementation of the second module (Stage 1) in detail.

    Formulating requirements

    In light of the objectives outlined above, we will formulate the requirements for the Stage 1 module.

    1. Dynamic functionality, or modularity, for increased resilience. In addition, dynamic configuration allows adding techniques via new modules without changing the functional core.
    2. Ensuring that the third payload module (Stage 2) runs.
    3. Minimal size (100–200 KB) and minimal traces left in the system.
    4. The module must comply with OPSEC principles and allow operations to run undetected by security controls. This means we must provide a mechanism for evading signature-based memory scanning.
    5. Employing non-standard (hidden) communication channels, outside of HTTP and TCP, to establish covert persistence and avoid network detection.

    Choosing the best solution

    While defining the requirements, we recognized the need for a modular design. To begin, we need to determine the best way to add new features while running the tasks. One widely used method for dynamically adding functionality is reflective DLL injection, introduced in 2008. This type of injection has both its upsides and downsides. The ReflectiveLoader function is fairly easy to detect, so we’d need a custom implementation for a dynamic configuration. This is an effective yet costly way of achieving modularity, so we decided to keep looking.

    The PowerShell Empire framework, whose loader is based on reflective PowerShell execution, gained popularity in the mid-2010s. The introduction of strict monitoring and rigid policies surrounding PowerShell marked the end of its era, with .NET assemblies, executed reflectively using the Assembly.Load method, gaining popularity. Around this time, toolkits like SharpSploit and GhostPack emerged. Cobalt Strike’s execute-assembly feature, introduced in 2018, allowed for .NET assembly injection into a newly created process. Process creation followed by injection is a strong indicator of compromise and is subject to rigorous monitoring. Injecting code requires considerable planning and tailored resources, plus it’s easily detectable. It’s best used after you’ve already performed initial reconnaissance and established persistence.

    The next stage of framework evolution is the execution of object files in memory. An object file (COFF, Common Object File Format) is a file that represents a compiled version of the source code. Object files are typically not full-fledged programs: they are needed to link and build a project. An object file includes several important elements ensuring that the executable code functions correctly.

    • Header contains information about the architecture, timestamp, number of sections and symbols, and other metadata.
    • Sections are blocks that may include assembly code, debugging information, linker directives, exception information, and static data.
    • Symbol table contains functions and variables, and information about their location in memory.

    Using object files allows you to avoid loading a CLR environment into the process, such as when using a .NET assembly and the Assembly.Load method.

    Moreover, COFF is executed in the current context, without the need to create a process and inject the code into it. The feature was introduced and popularized in 2020 by the developers of the Cobalt Strike framework. And in 2021, TrustedSec developed the open-source COFF Loader that serves the same purpose: the tool loads a COFF file from disk and runs it. This functionality perfectly aligns with our objectives because it enables us to perform the required actions: surveying, gaining persistence within the system and initiating the next module via an object file – if we incorporate network retrieval and in-memory execution of the file in the project. In addition, when using COFF Loader, the pentester can remain undetected in the system for a long time.

    To interact with the agent in this study, we decided to use BOFs (Beacon Object Files) designed for Cobalt Strike Beacon. The internet offers a wide variety of open-source tools and functions created for BOFs. By using different BOFs as separate modules, we can easily add new techniques at any time without modifying the agent’s core.

    Another key requirement for Stage 1 is a minimal payload size. Several approaches can achieve this: for instance, using C# can result in a Stage 1 size of around 20 KB. This is quite good, but the payload will then have a dependency on the .NET framework. If we use a native language like C, the unencrypted payload will be approximately 50 KB, which fits our needs.

    Our payload requirements are supported by the Mythic framework. Its microservice architecture makes it easy to add arbitrary server-side functionality. For example, the module assembly process takes place inside a container and is fully defined by us. This allows us to replace specific strings with arbitrary values if detected. Furthermore, Mythic supports both standard communication protocols (HTTPS, TCP) and covert channels, such as encrypted communication over Slack or Telegram. Finally, the use of C ensures a small payload size. All of these factors make the Mythic framework and the agent interacting with it to execute BOFs an optimal choice for launching the second module.

    Communication model

    In the communication process between the agent and the framework, we need to focus on three elements: payload containers, C2 profile containers, and the translation container. Payload containers hold the agent’s source code and are responsible for building the payload. C2 profile containers are responsible for communicating with the agent. They must receive traffic from the agent and send it to Mythic for further processing. The translation container handles the encryption and decryption of network traffic. We’ll be using HTTP when interacting with Mythic, so the C2 profile will be a web server listening on ports 80 and 443.

    Communication flow between the agent and the Mythic framework

    Loading an object file

    To load and execute an object file, the agent must read the .text section and replace all zeros with relative addresses of external functions and static data. This is known as symbol relocation, which addresses references within a particular section of the object file. Furthermore, the agent places these symbols in memory, for example, after the code section.

    To find external functions, we’ll have to analyze the libraries specified in the linker directives of the object file. To do this, we used the functions LoadLibrary, GetModuleHandle and GetProcAddress.

    The diagram below clarifies how an object file is loaded and memory is allocated for its components.

    Object file representation on disk (left) and in memory (right)

    The downsides of the solution

    The method described above has a number of shortcomings. Because object file execution is blocking, multiple tasks cannot run simultaneously. For long-term tasks, other methods such as process injection are necessary; however, this is not a critical flaw for the second module, as it is not intended for long-running tasks.

    Several other shortcomings are difficult to mitigate. For example, since the object file is executed in the current thread, a critical error will terminate the process. Furthermore, during the execution of the object file in memory, the VirtualAlloc function is used for section mapping and relocation. A call to this WinAPI might alert the security system.

    Implementing additional functionality during development and compilation can help complicate analysis and detection for more efficient pentesting and a longer agent life cycle.

    Conclusion

    Mythic’s features make it a convenient pentesting tool that covers the bulk of pentesting objectives. To utilize this framework efficiently, we created an agent that extends ready-made solutions with our own code. This configuration gave us suitable flexibility and enhanced protection against detection, which is most of what a pentester asks of a working tool.

    Patrick Harvie challenges Tory energy spokesperson

    More in Climate

    The Conservative Party’s denial of the climate emergency puts their own short-term political agenda ahead of our environment, says Scottish Greens Co-Leader Patrick Harvie.

    The Conservative acting shadow secretary for energy, Andrew Bowie, told the Guardian that he believed the UK’s net-zero by 2050 target was “not based on science”, and accused globally respected climate scientists of being “biased”.

    The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which houses the world’s leading climate scientists, has previously issued “a dire warning about the consequences of inaction” and called for faster action to reduce climate emissions.

    Scottish Greens Co-Leader Patrick Harvie MSP said:

    “We all know that many Tories have “had enough of experts”, but their contempt for scientific evidence is now profoundly dangerous.

    “The climate crisis is the single greatest threat to future generations, and we don’t have time to waste listening to failed Tory ministers, singing from Trump’s songbook.

    “Scientists from right around the world have warned of the need for urgent action to cut our greenhouse gas emissions or we risk facing the full force of climate breakdown. These targets on their own won’t do that; they need to be backed up with action, which Tories, SNP and Labour have failed to do.

    “Governments and polluters have had knowledge of their climate-wrecking behaviour for decades and since then have chosen to protect corporate profits rather than our common future.

    “Scotland has a crucial role to play in tackling the climate emergency. We have the knowledge, skills, and resources for a green industrial revolution, to create jobs and build a fairer society, but we need real ambition from the government to make that happen.

    “Labour and the Tories have failed to deliver, and the SNP are slowing down climate action when they should be speeding up. We need real change for Scotland, and only the Scottish Greens are ready to deliver.”
