On the contrary, PowerShell has a very regular and predictable command syntax for all built-in commands and strongly encourages identical styles for self-written scripts (helped immensely by the highly functional built-in parameter handling). This totally avoids the hotch-potch of styles seen in some other environments. If stuck, there's also consistent and comprehensive help available.</p>

OTX Bot<p>BERT Ransomware Group Targets Asia and Europe on Multiple Platforms</p><p>A newly emerged ransomware group called BERT has been targeting organizations across Asia and Europe since April. The group employs simple code with effective execution, impacting sectors such as healthcare, technology, and event services. BERT's ransomware operates on both Windows and Linux platforms, using PowerShell-based loaders, privilege escalation, and concurrent file encryption. On Linux systems, it can support up to 50 threads for fast encryption and forcibly shut down ESXi virtual machines. The group's tactics include disabling security features, terminating specific processes, and using standard encryption algorithms. BERT's variants have evolved, streamlining their encryption process and expanding their targeting activities. The Linux variant shows similarities to the REvil ransomware, suggesting possible code reuse.</p><p>Pulse ID: 686bb6597ce02f8f4a33b453<br>Pulse Link: <a href="https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/686bb6597ce02f8f4a33b453" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">otx.alienvault.com/pulse/686bb</span><span class="invisible">6597ce02f8f4a33b453</span></a> <br>Pulse Author: AlienVault<br>Created: 2025-07-07 11:58:17</p><p>Be advised, this data is unverified and should be considered preliminary.
