Secret Blizzard has a track record of targeting various sectors to facilitate long-term covert access for intelligence collection, but their primary focus is on ministries of foreign affairs, embassies, government offices, defense departments, and defense-related companies across the world.

The latest report comes a week after the tech giant, along with Lumen Technologies Black Lotus Labs, revealed Turla’s hijacking of 33 command-and-control (C2) servers of a Pakistan-based hacking group named Storm-0156 to carry out its own operations.

The attacks targeting Ukrainian entities entail commandeering Amadey bots to deploy a backdoor known as Tavdig, which is then used to install an updated version of Kazuar, which was documented by Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 in November 2023.

We cordially invite you to participate in the 5th International Symposium on Frontiers in Molecular Sciences Regulatory Mechanisms of Biological Function and Drug Discovery based on Protein Structure/Function Analysis, to be held in Kyoto, Japan, from August 26 to 29, 2025. The symposium will present outstanding research results that elucidate the molecular mechanisms of biological function and regulation, and it will also facilitate drug design based on molecular biology, biophysical characterization, in vivo environmental homeostasis, organ interactions based on sensory systems, physiome, and AI-assisted analysis of protein structures and functions.

The venue will be the Inamori Hall, Liberal Arts and Science Building and the Kyoto Institute, Library and Archives (Rekisaikan), both affiliated with Kyoto Prefectural University, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine and the Kyoto Prefectural Government, located in Kyoto City. The venue is conveniently located approximately 20 minutes by subway or car from Japan Railway (JR) Kyoto Station, which is also easily accessible from Kansai International Airport (KIX) by JR (approximately 1 hour 20 minutes) or limousine bus (approximately 1 hour 30 minutes).

CHANDLER, Ariz. – The radiation-tolerant RTG4 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with lead-free flip-chip bumps from Microchip Technology Inc. in Chandler, Ariz., have earned the Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) Class V status from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

These radiation-tolerant FPGAs are for critical space programs. QML Class V is the highest level of qualification for space components for human-rated, deep-space, and national security space programs.

RTG4 FPGAs offer more than 150,000 logic elements, and come in flip-chip package construction where flip-chip bumps connect the silicon die and the package substrate for extended the longevity.
