#zero-day vulnerability

Photo by Ike louie Natividad Introduction The digital ecosystem was jolted this week as two of the world’s most influential tech giants, Apple and Google, took the extraordinary step of issuing emergency security updates. These out-of-band patches, released outside their typical scheduled cycles, were deployed to combat zero-day vulnerabilities that are already being actively exploited by…

A cyber attack group – GroundPeony, targeting the Taiwanese government, was discovered in March 2023; it used several tactics, such as tampering with legitimate websites for distributing malware, URL obfuscation, and multi-stage loaders. Further investigations revealed that a China-nexus attack group was responsible for this attack that used CVE-2022-30190 which was commonly known as Follina.…

Part 1

The story takes place long after the first events and homo sapiens diclonius are near extinct except for a few dicloni kept at the Diclonius Research Insitute. The government desperate to breed a new race of dicloni to use as bioweapons.

Aspara, our protagonist, is the only female diclonius of the current generation to bear and raise a young diclonius. Initially cold towards her offspring, she develops a strong attachment to it and forms a motherly bond.

However, all that changed when the facility decided to take the child away for experimentation. She begins a rampage and escapes the facility to find her child. Because of the threat she poses to society, they send another diclonius to contain and capture her. A diclonius named "Zero."

"Zero" or "Rei" in Japanese, and codename "Zero-Day Vulnerability" is a genetically modified male diclonius. His purpose is to reproduce with a Queen diclonius and create a new race of dicloni. He is considered a failure though because of the discovery of him being infertile and unable to infect with his vectors.

He has been kept in confinement for most of his life before being sent out to hunt Aspara. While in confinement, he meets Ichi.

Ichi is a successful diclonius capable of reproduction and infection. He is often seen around the institute and is one of the better treated dicloni though he is still experimented on. Ichi is sent to check in on Rei since he is good at calming other dicloni. They form an unlikely friendship.

Later on though, Ichi would make friends with Aspara and after learning her situation, he would her her escape and leave the facility himself as well.

idk oc brainrot also this was fun trying to emulate screenshots from the anime

so far ive decided he's an antagonist and is the diclonius research institute's weapon, will he switch sides or have character development? have not decided

Hackers exploit 0Day vulnerability in WhatsApp to transfer spyware | CVE-2019-3568
