Today's Story Highlights

New Attack Technique Hides Spread of RATs in Asia
SentinelOne last week announced that it has detected a technique being
used in Asia to infect systems with remote access Trojans that ensures
that the payload remains in memory throughout its execution and doesn't
touch the victim's computer disk in an unencrypted state. Attackers
remain hidden from antivirus and next-generation technologies that focus
only on file-based threats.

White Hat Finds Security Threats on Facebook's Corporate Net
A white hat hacker last week announced the discovery of more than a
half-dozen security flaws in some software Facebook used on its
corporate network. While performing penetration testing third-party
software in a network appliance Facebook used, Orange Tsai discovered
seven vulnerabilities that attackers could use to compromise a system,
as well as a backdoor script left by someone else.

Bodhi Linux 3.2 Promises Clearer Path to Enlightenment
Bodhi Linux 3.2.0 is an update to the Bodhi Linux 3.x series and
features key kernel and desktop improvements. It is a different kind of
Linux distro. Its developers refer to it as the "Enlightened Desktop,"
because it draws its energy from the Enlightenment desktop.
Enlightenment started as a project to build a window manager for X11 in
1996. It grew into a desktop environment in its own right.

Chromebooks May Get Avalanche of Android Apps
Google appears to be on the verge of executing a long-speculated plan to
integrate Google Play's vast collection of more than a million Android
apps into the Chrome operating system. A series of screen shots recently
posted on Reddit show Chrome OS users able to access the Google Play
store on a Chromebook. Users were able to find extensive references to
ARC, or App Runtime for Chrome, embedded in the source code.
