What does a marble fabricator do?
Marble fabricators are responsible for cutting, polishing and installing marble. They work with marble from different countries and at different time periods.

They may work with ancient Egyptian marbles, which are some of the most beautiful in the world; or modern Japanese or Chinese marble that was inspired by ancient Greek and Roman artworks to create new designs for modern homes.

How does a marble fabricator work?
The process of marble fabrication is as follows:

The stone is quarried and then either crushed or polished to remove any impurities.
The slabs are cut into smaller pieces using a diamond saw, which can cut through any material.
The pieces are then loaded onto conveyor belts and transported through the factory floor where they are processed further into finished products such as countertops or flooring tiles.
What is a marble fabricator’s job?
The job of marble fabricators is to create and install marble floors for commercial buildings. They work with different types of marble, depending on what the client wants and requires. The most common type of marble that is used in this industry is Carrara, which has been the focus since it first gained popularity in Italy centuries ago. Other types include white granite (also called cetacean marble), grey limestone (also called alabaster), black travertine and white & grey travertine.

A good marble fabricator will have many skills including:

Experience working with different kinds of flooring materials – including but not limited to wood composite panels; engineered wood products; ceramic tiles; terrazzo tile; prefinished hardwood flooring planks; engineered hardwood floors including solid core & laminated veneers (lumber); laminates such as plywood & particleboard underlayment layers applied over concrete slab subflooring surfaces after installation has been completed using traditional methods such as hand tools or power driven equipment like nail guns/drills
Why should I get a job as a marble fabricator?
There are many reasons why you should consider getting this job. First, it’s something that you can do in your spare time and make some extra money while doing it. Second, if you’re not afraid of hard work and long hours, then this is the perfect opportunity for both learning new skills and making money at the same time! Thirdly, there are plenty of opportunities for advancement within the industry–and if things don’t go well at first (which they won’t), there’s always another company looking for someone just like yourself!

You can make your life better by taking on this profession.
You will be able to work in a variety of settings and with a wide range of people, which will allow you to develop both your interpersonal skills and technical knowledge. A marble fabricator can also expect to earn an above-average salary, as well as benefits such as health insurance coverage and paid vacation time (if applicable).

Conclusion
You might have heard the term “marble fabricator” and wondered what it means. A marble fabricator is a person who creates and installs marble in buildings, homes, and businesses. They’re responsible for cutting precise pieces of marble that can be used in various ways throughout their clients’ spaces.

Press Release

After discontinuing support for ransom payments, insurer AXA was attacked by ransomware.

After discontinuing support for ransom payments, insurer AXA was attacked by ransomware.

A ransomware cyber assault has targeted the Thai, Malaysian, Hong Kong, and Philippine branches of the world’s largest insurance company, AXA.

The Avaddon ransomware organisation claimed yesterday, as reported by BleepingComputer, that it had stolen 3 TB of private data from AXA’s Asian operations.

Additionally, AXA’s international websites were down yesterday for a while due to a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, according to BleepingComputer.

The group claims that the compromised data collected by Avaddon includes copies of ID cards, bank account statements, claim forms, payment records, contracts, claim forms for customers that reveal their sexual health diagnosis, and more.

The group’s statement follows AXA’s revelation that it would no longer cover ransomware extortion payments when underwriting cyber-insurance plans in France.

Asian AXA offices are targeted by a ransomware organisation.
The ransomware organisation Avaddon took responsibility for the attack on AXA’s offices in Asia yesterday.

The group also asserted that there was a DDoS attack ongoing against AXA’s websites hosted in Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines:

The Avaddon ransomware gang initially made the threat to launch DDoS assaults to take down victims’ websites or networks until they get in touch and start negotiating to pay the ransom in February 2021.

When ransomware gangs started deploying DDoS assaults against their victims as an extra point of leverage in October 2020, BleepingComputer became the first publication to report on this new development.

About a week after AXA announced that payment for ransomware extortion settlements would no longer be included in their cyber-insurance policies sold in France, Avaddon announced the attack on AXA’s infrastructure.

Avaddon started dumping part of the stolen data on their leak site yesterday, as seen by BleepingComputer, even if the exact date of the incident remains unknown.

Avaddon also threatened to expose AXA’s priceless records if the insurance firm didn’t get in touch with them and work with them within 10 days.

The gang asserts to have obtained 3 TB of AXA data, which includes:

client medical records (including those containing sexual health diagnosis)
customer claims payments to consumers’ bank accounts scanned records content only available to hospitals and physicians (private fraud investigations, agreements, denied reimbursements, contracts)
Identity cards, passports, and other forms of identification

AXA: Access to data by a Thai partner only, “No Evidence”
AXA responded when approached by BleepingComputer as follows:

A recent targeted ransomware assault on Asia Assistance affected its IT operations in Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines.

As a result, someone was able to access some data handled by Inter Partners Assistance (IPA) in Thailand.

“At this time, there is no proof that any additional data was accessed in Thailand beyond IPA.”

“The incident is being investigated by a dedicated taskforce that includes outside forensic experts. Partners in business and regulators have been informed.”

According to an AXA spokesman, “AXA takes data privacy very seriously and will take the appropriate procedures to notify and help all corporate clients and people impacted” if IPA’s investigations reveal that sensitive data of any persons have been affected.

The incident’s timing is interesting in light of this week’s FBI and Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) alerts on ongoing Avaddon ransomware assaults aimed at enterprises from a wide range of industries in the US and around the world.

Attackers who use ransomware on enterprises continue to expand and interrupt many operations while demanding extortionate ransom payments.

The DarkSide cyberterrorist organisation recently requested $5 million to reactivate the Colonial Pipeline infrastructure.

Additionally, just this week, BleepingComputer reported that a $20 million ransomware demand was made on Ireland’s Health Services.

After taking data, the Android spyware BRATA wipes your smartphone.

Published

After taking data, the Android spyware BRATA wipes your smartphone.

The most recent version of the Android malware known as BRATA now includes several new and dangerous features, such as GPS tracking, the ability to use numerous communication channels, and a tool that wipes all evidence of malicious activity from the device by performing a factory reset.

Kaspersky originally identified BRATA as an Android RAT (remote access tool) in 2019 that mostly targeted Brazilian users.

A Cleafy report from December 2021 highlighted the malware’s appearance in Europe, where it was observed to target customers of online banking services and steal their credentials with the help of con artists posing as bank customer support representatives.

Cleafy analysts kept an eye out for new features in BRATA, and in a new research released today, they show how the malware is still evolving.

versions with modifications for various audiences
The most recent iterations of the BRATA malware currently target e-banking users in China, Latin America, the UK, Poland, Italy, and Spain.

With various overlay sets, languages, and even different apps to target particular populations, each version focuses on a different bank.

In all versions, the developers employ comparable obfuscation strategies, such as enclosing the APK file in an encrypted JAR or DEX package.

The VirusTotal scan below shows how effectively this obfuscation avoids antivirus detections.

On that front, before moving on to the data exfiltration process, BRATA now actively looks for indicators of AV presence on the device and tries to erase the discovered security tools.

 

New capabilities
The keylogging functionality, which is a new feature in the most recent BRATA versions, was discovered by Cleafy researchers and adds to the existing screen capturing capabilities.

All new variations also include GPS monitoring, however analysts are unsure of its precise function.

The performing of factory resets, which the actors do in the following circumstances, is the scariest of the new malevolent features.

The fraudulent transaction has been successfully finished after the compromise (i.e. credentials have been exfiltrated).
It has been discovered by the programme that it operates in a virtual environment, perhaps for analysis.
The kill switch used by BRATA is a factory reset, which wipes the device and increases the risk of a victim experiencing an unexpected and permanent loss of data.

Finally, BRATA now supports HTTP and WebSockets and has provided new channels for data exchange with the C2 server.

 

A direct, low-latency route that is perfect for in-the-moment communication and live manual exploitation is provided by the choice of WebSockets for the actors.

Additionally, because WebSockets don’t need to send headers with each connection, less suspicious network traffic is generated, which reduces the likelihood of being discovered.

Basic safety precautions
BRATA is only one of several sneaky RATs and Android banking trojans that target users’ banking credentials that are out there.

Installing apps from the Google Play Store, avoiding APKs from dubious websites, and always scanning them with an AV programme before opening them are the best strategies to prevent being infected by Android malware.

Pay close attention to the permissions that are requested during installation and don’t allow those that don’t seem necessary for the app’s primary functions.

Finally, keep an eye on your battery life and network traffic levels to spot any sudden spikes that can be caused by malicious processes that are running in the background.
