MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 29, 1951: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. They were executed at Sing Sing in 1953. The Rosenberg’s sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol were adopted by Abel Meeropol, the composer of “Strange Fruit,” (made famous by Billie Holiday). The sons maintained their parents’ innocence. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, decoded Soviet cables showed that their father had, in fact, collaborated, but that their mother was innocent. They continued to fight for the mother’s pardon, but Obama refused to grant it. The Rosenberg’s sons were among the last students to attend the anarchist Modern School, in Lakewood, New Jersey, before it finally shut its doors in 1958. </p><p>The Modern School movement began in 1901, in Barcelona, Spain, when Francisco Ferrer opened his Escuela Moderna. It was one of the very first Spanish schools to be fully secular, co-educational, and open to all students, regardless of class. His ideas were so popular that 40 more Modern Schools opened in Barcelona in just a few years, while 80 other schools adopted his textbooks. In 1909, there were mass protests and a General Strike against Spanish intervention in Morocco. The state responded with a week of terror and repression, during which they slaughtered over 600 workers and falsely executed Ferrer as an instigator of the protests. His execution led to worldwide protests. Modern Schools started to pop up outside of Spain, inspired by his original Escuela Moderna, including 20 in the U.S. </p><p>For more on the Modern School movement, read my article: <a href="https://michaeldunnauthor.com/2022/04/30/the-modern-school-movement/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">michaeldunnauthor.com/2022/04/</span><span class="invisible">30/the-modern-school-movement/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/deathpenalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deathpenalty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/execution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>execution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rosenbergs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rosenbergs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/espionage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>espionage</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ussr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ussr</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/soviet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soviet</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SingSing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SingSing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obama</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strangefruit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strangefruit</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/modernschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>modernschool</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/abelmeerepol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abelmeerepol</span></a></p>

OTX Bot<p>Operation FishMedley targeting governments, NGOs, and think tanks</p><p>ESET researchers have uncovered a global espionage operation called Operation FishMedley, conducted by the FishMonger APT group, which is operated by the Chinese contractor I-SOON. The campaign targeted governments, NGOs, and think tanks across Asia, Europe, and the United States during 2022. The attackers used implants like ShadowPad, SodaMaster, and Spyder, which are common or exclusive to China-aligned threat actors. The operation involved sophisticated tactics including lateral movement, credential theft, and custom malware deployment. Seven victims were identified across various countries and sectors. The analysis provides technical details on the malware used, initial access methods, and command and control infrastructure.</p><p>Pulse ID: 67dd406f6ba9eecd280aa95e<br>Pulse Link: <a href="https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/67dd406f6ba9eecd280aa95e" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">otx.alienvault.com/pulse/67dd4</span><span class="invisible">06f6ba9eecd280aa95e</span></a> <br>Pulse Author: AlienVault<br>Created: 2025-03-21 10:33:19</p><p>Be advised, this data is unverified and should be considered preliminary.

OTX Bot<p>Windows Shortcut Exploit Abused as Zero-Day in Widespread APT Campaigns</p><p>A Windows .lnk file vulnerability, ZDI-CAN-25373, has been extensively exploited by state-sponsored and cybercriminal groups. The vulnerability allows hidden command execution through crafted shortcut files, exposing organizations to data theft and cyber espionage risks. Nearly 1,000 malicious .lnk files abusing this vulnerability have been identified, with APT groups from North Korea, Iran, Russia, and China involved in the attacks. Targeted sectors include government, finance, telecommunications, military, and energy across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia.
