Aisuru, the botnet responsible for a series of record-smashing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks this year, recently was overhauled to support a more low-key, lucrative and sustainable business: Renting hundreds of thousands of infected Internet of Things (IoT) devices to proxy services that help cybercriminals anonymize their traffic. Experts say a glut of proxies from Aisuru and other sources is fueling large-scale data harvesting efforts tied to various artificial intelligence (AI) projects, helping content scrapers evade detection by routing their traffic through residential connections that appear to be regular Internet users. First identified in August 2024, Aisuru has spread to at…

In this blogpost, we uncover the first known cases of collaboration between Gamaredon and Turla, in Ukraine. Key points of this blogpost: In February 2025, we discovered that the Gamaredon tool PteroGraphin was used to restart Turla’s Kazuar backdoor on a machine in Ukraine. In April and June 2025, we detected that Kazuar v2 was deployed using Gamaredon tools PteroOdd and PteroPaste. These discoveries lead us to believe with high confidence that Gamaredon is collaborating with Turla. Turla’s victim count is very low compared to the number of Gamaredon compromises, suggesting that Turla choose the most valuable machines. Both groups…

Increased consumption of energy has led people to find ways to promote sustainability, reduce environmental impact, implement green technology, and save on costs too. With advanced technology, the use of many energy-saving gadgets is an efficient way to promote that. These energy-saving devices, such as Solar-Powered Gadgets LED lighting, and Power Strips, help to reduce environmental pollution from the use of tech in homes. Their impact on preserving natural resources and lowering your costs, such as electricity bills have made these devices a must in this era of rapid smart tech in homes. According to a Global News Wire article based…

In the desert outside Abu Dhabi, construction crews are breaking ground on a project that sounds almost like science fiction: a solar power plant that never sleeps. For decades, the flaw in renewables has been obvious to even their strongest advocates. The sun sets, the wind stills, and suddenly clean energy needs backup. Fossil fuels, with all their costs to health and climate, have filled the gap. But what if that gap could be closed — not with gas or coal, but with sunlight stored in vast batteries beneath the sand? That is the wager the United Arab Emirates is…

The One Canadian Clean Economy Task Force is made up of members representing companies across critical minerals, batteries, clean transportation, clean buildings, forest products, clean electricity, and clean technology.  As its name suggests, the task force’s forthcoming recommendations will…

We’ve all been there: standing in the middle of a store, clutching a flashy, expensive gift, and agonizing over whether to blow our monthly budget or play it safe. No, I don’t mean just during holiday shopping; I’m talking about the countless celebrations we cherish throughout the year, like birthdays, anniversaries, and spontaneous get-togethers. But here’s the thing—celebrating life’s meaningful moments doesn’t have to feel like emptying your savings. Here’s how I’ve come to embrace the art of creating memorable experiences without breaking the bank.   Crafting a Personalized Touch One of the most fulfilling ways I’ve found to bring…

The opinions expressed here by Trellis expert contributors are their own, not those of Trellis.​ You’ve probably heard of the rebound effect — the phenomenon where savings from increased efficiency (such as lower energy bills) are then spent on other goods that ultimately reduce the expected environmental benefit of the original efficiency efforts. In your own life, though, you’ve probably seen that it doesn’t have to work this way. Maybe you’ve set aside the money saved from lowering your energy bills by upgrading to smart thermostats or other sustainable home projects, such as installing more efficient appliances. These savings can function…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN) runs a highly successful electric vehicle and electrify everything expo each year — we have attended several times, exhibited our aging Tesla, and written up the experience — see here for our writeup of last year’s event. So, when I heard about ZEN’s latest project, I had to share the good news with CleanTechnica readers. Noosa Council (based on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia) is funding a new independent service by ZEN to help local businesses rein in rising energy costs and make the most…
