WASHINGTON (ANP/RTR) - Voormalig directeur van de FBI James Comey is voor de derde keer aangeklaagd door het Amerikaanse ministerie van Justitie. Volgens de aanklacht deelde hij in oktober 2016 geheime informatie over de nationale veiligheid met een verslaggever van The New York Times.
"Daar gaan we weer", zei Comey in een video op Instagram over de nieuwste aanklacht. "Ik ben nog altijd onschuldig", verklaarde hij. Advocaten van de oud-directeur van de FBI hebben de rechter verzocht de zaak te verwerpen, omdat deze juridisch onhoudbaar is.
De drie pagina's tellende aanklacht bevat weinig details, melden buitenlandse media. CNN schrijft dat de tien jaar oude beschuldiging nu boven water komt om te voorkomen dat deze verjaart.
Comey, een uitgesproken criticus van Trump, werd twee keer eerder aangeklaagd. Die zaken gingen over het afleggen van valse getuigenissen en het bedreigen van de Amerikaanse president. De eerste zaak werd door een rechter verworpen, de andere strafzaak is nog lopende.
The critical PHP2Shell vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) have now been successfully exploited in the wild, just days after patches were released and initial exploitation attempts failed. BleepingComputer reports: The malicious activity was caught by Adel Karimi, detection and response lead at Perplexity, whose honeypots recorded evidence of confirmed remote code execution against an Apache mod_php installation running PHP 8.4.26. "This is now confirmed RCE with usable memory disclosure, not just a crash followed by a suspicious process. The response delivered an 800 KiB decoded cookie dump, and a function address derived from that dump using the public exploit's offsets appears in the subsequent execution payload," Karimi shared.
"The evidence demonstrates this chain on the intentionally favorable single-worker mod_php profile; it is not a measurement of exploit reliability on other worker counts, PHP builds, or applications," he added. Karimi's findings were also confirmed by Expel threat researcher Marcus Hutchins, who has been tracking a stream of alleged successful PHP2Shell exploitation reports.
"This is by far the highest quality confirmation of in-the-wild php2shell exploitation I've seen so far. Deep technical breakdown of a successful exploitation attempt against an Apache mod_php installation running PHP 8.4.26," Hutchins said.
