Important to have proper back-end security on Magento webshop sites.,
hundreds of which have been compromised lately:
https://sansec.io/labs/2019/05/10/magento-2-hacks/
because the cybercriminals automated these hacks to quite an extent:
https://twitter.com/gwillem/status/1138818632409145344

In such cases it is best to have additional security measures taken,
cloudhosting and hiding your back-end to attackers,

an example: cloudflare//support.coudflare.com -> http://sitemeer.com/# http://HTTPS://www.interviewcoder: in 8443
IP 83.217.93.87: 8080  or 8880 https app deployment on Cloudflare,
in this case check shodan.io not for weaknesses but in stead for stabler security (pol)

jquery-ui-dialog   1.10.4   Found in -https://hairsuite.nl:8443/static/version1559290779/base/Magento/base/default/jquery/jquery-ui.js

Fake news or real existing cyber-threat against the Russian astralinux-grid?

Quote
Beyond patching, it's recommended to disable modelines in the vimrc (set nomodeline), to use the securemodelines plugin, or to disable modelineexpr (since patch 8.1.1366, Vim-only) to disallow expressions in modelines.

Check if you have modelines enabled by opening vim and entering

:set modeline?

If vim returns nomodeline, you are not vulnerable.
If you are vulnerable or want to ensure your security with this issue, add these lines to your vimrc:

set modelines=0
set nomodeline

Kaspersky about OS hardening and steering away recently from Microsoft to Astralinux...

Read: https://securelist.com/features-of-secure-os-realization/77469/

Quote
To improve security, tools that make it more difficult to exploit some vulnerabilities,
including those inherent in the system due to its insecure original design, can be built into the system.
Examples include: Grsecurity, AppArmor, Hardened Gentoo, Atlix, YANUX, and Astra Linux, etc.

Weird is that none of the MS evangelists here reacts. Well in this respect.
Why the Russian Federation may have taken such actions to harden their grid-base,
switching from MS-Windows towards military strength astralinux for their critical systems?

Seems the world again comes "split in two, or maybe three or four (Anglo-US, EU, Russian Federation, Mainland China).

Remember the song lyrics: "The Russian spy and I, we both wonder why, the world is split in two"?
