Not much. I tried to download samples. one place wanted a login and
another needed a password (which wasn't given) on the zip file.

What's the relevance of "near London"?

Why are you averse to acting accordingly?

Have you already been involved with Rust?

The Trojan.OSX.RustAgent is a type of malware written in Rust —
modern, fast, and often used to bypass traditional antivirus detection.
Since ClamXAV quarantined it I suspect that it was 'real'.

Could also be a false positive. Not saying I think it was.

You got it in a spam email, right? Emails are plain text, perhaps with
attachments encoded in base64 (still text). You could look yourself or
upload it somewhere I could look.

That's what ClamXAV appears to think.

The USA has lost much goodwill in the last 10 days!
I hope our Prime Minister is not all touchy-feely with Mr Trump tomorrow

Time will tell. I listened here last night. He certainly hit the nail on
the head!



//On the Senate floor, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) slammed UK PM Keir
Starmer for his
actions returning the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.//

I just LOVE his American drawl! :-)
