#NCP

Hey you bee experts, I have a question.

A bumblebee / honeybee collective set up shop in a birdhouse we have attached to the front of our house, right by the walkway up to our front door.

Of course, I am thrilled and don't want to disturb them (we need bees!), but any danger with it being here, so close to our main walkway? Danger to delivery folks, posties, etc? Should we attempt to move it (get an expert to do so?)

Also partner asks "can we get honey from it?"

Very warm Friday morning, may reach 105F today. A Bumblebee (sp?) was working the Lavender (French?) on the patio.

Some good news... I just saw a #bumblebee friend buzzing around the snapdragons. I hope more of them show up soon.

So, May 27th, and no #bumblebee sightings here in my little acre of York County #Maine. I thought I heard one or two buzzing around before the latest round of rain, but now it's been a few days of warm, dry weather, and all I'm seeing are little bees. Usually the bumblebees are all over the lilacs, which are now past peak. I hope they show up soon, but I'm a bit worried about my little friends.

Photos are from the past two years -- the first one is from May 21, 2024 , and the second one is from May 11, 2023.

On parlait la semaine passée des faux Keepass poussés via publicité Google malveillante (malvertising)...

Voici un autre exemple tout chaud, spotté par BleepingComputer : une fausse version de l'outil open-source Zenmap (Nmap), ainsi qu’un faux WinMTR, sont utilisés pour livrer le malware Bumblebee.

Cette fois via "SEO poisoning" sur Google & Bing. (C’est une technique qui consiste à manipuler les résultats des moteurs de recherche pour faire apparaître en tête de page de faux sites — souvent très bien imités — afin de piéger les internautes)
Ici, les attaquants ont cloné les pages de téléchargement de Zenmap (l’interface graphique de Nmap) et WinMTR (outil de traceroute réseau), deux utilitaires très utilisés par les pros de l’IT.

Les sites en question (zenmap[.]pro, winmtr[.]org) semblaient parfaitement légitimes.
Mais les installeurs .msi proposés contiennent en réalité un loader du malware Bumblebee, furtif et non détecté par la majorité des antivirus (VirusTotal donne quasi tout vert).

Ce que fait Bumblebee :

• Installe l’outil promis… mais avec une DLL infectée.

• Ouvre une backdoor : profilage de la victime, puis possible déploiement de ransomware, infostealers, ou d’autres malwares.

• Idéal pour une attaque en deux temps (initial access + mouvement latéral).

Research shows differences in foraging behaviour between #bumblebee queens and their workers. Queens are crucial to the survival/success of a colony and so tend to forage more cautiously and learn more quickly than worker #bees.

I loved taking this photo. I had to tune into the wind and the movement of the #bumblebee
It was #flow :)
