Hacking Like Da Vinci
summary
Draws a direct analogy between Da Vinci’s measurement-driven craft and modern attackers who precisely mimic real emails and apps, then shows concrete cases: a mobile campaign delivering FluHorse via malicious APKs built with Flutter that impersonate toll, banking, transport and dating apps (each legitimate app has >1M downloads), steal credentials and forward SMS 2FA; nation-state use of nine different wipers in 2022 and a BB wiper in 2023; and resurgence of USB infection via a USB worm that rides a conference thumb drive to a UK hospital and spreads globally.
