Malicious Blender model files deliver StealC infostealing malware

Blender has a convenient but risky feature which experts have found is being exploited by Russian hackers to deliver infostealer malware.

It has long been known that scripts in Blender are unsafe. And usually (at least that's how it used to be) a warning appears when they are enabled.

And, of course, Cloudflare is not synonymous with security.

Maybe it makes sense to add the #Safety/Security tag?

Regarding the presentation and wording of the note, I have only one comment for the authors: can you really tell Russian hackers apart from Ukrainian ones? We ourselves often get confused.

MSN is not a reliable source of information.

Two cats arguing will lead to a broken vase.

Blender runs python stuff so ofc its not safe.. same with any package manager like npm and whatever rust uses..

There is no arguing with that. I completely agree with and support @DaveTheCoder absolutely fair and reasonable opinion about MSN.

In civilized languages (for example, those based on Slavic languages), there is always a clear distinction between the terms for male cats and female cats.

male-cats\female-cats

Ukrainian Кіт\Кішка
Polish Kot\Kotka

and even

Russian Кот\Кошка

Molly

What is the feminine equivalent of a tomcat?

An entire (un-spayed) female cat who is not pregnant or nursing kittens is known as a Molly. If the cat is pregnant or nursing a litter of queens, she is known as a queen.

But this article, of course, contains a lot of nonsense.
