France has found malware on a ferry! RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA!

> A Latvian crew member is in custody facing charges of having acted for an unidentified foreign power, French officials said. But Interior Minister Laurent Nunez appeared to hint that Russia is suspected, saying: “At the moment, foreign interference very often comes from same country.”

Say no more. Say NO MORE.

> France and other European allies of Ukraine allege that Russia is waging “hybrid warfare” against them, using sabotage, assassinations [???], cyberattacks, disinformation and other hostile acts that are often hard to quickly trace back to Moscow [there may be a reason for that, who knows].

Keep your pampers on.

> Intelligence shared by Italian authorities tipped off the General Directorate of Internal Security [DGSI] — France’s special counterespionage and counterterror intelligence service — that software sometimes used by cybercriminals [so it's an off-the shelf?] may have infected computer systems aboard a ferry docked in the French Mediterranean port of Sète, the Paris prosecutor’s office said.

Nothing special yet.

> The so-called RAT software — which allows users to control computer systems remotely — could have been used to take control of the ferry’s computers, the prosecutor’s office said. Its statement did not name ferry.

> Police on Friday arrested two of the ferry’s crew members — one Latvian, the other Bulgarian — who Italian authorities had identified as suspects, the prosecutor’s office said. The Bulgarian was subsequently released without charge after questioning.

> It said search raids were also carried out in Latvia. Latvian state police said they had no comment.

> The ferry is now back in operation after being held in port for security checks to its computer system, the prosecutor’s office said.

Probably running Windows, unpatched.
