Instagram is on its way to hitting abillionusers this year and with that kind of popularity comes a lot of traffic. But lurking among all of many, many harmless comments that get posted each day, there's also the occasional post instructing Russianmalwarehow to get in touch with its controllers. Because of course there is.
The Slovak IT security company ESET Security released a report yesterday detailing a cleverly hidden example of such a post. And its hideout? ABritney Spearsphoto. Among the nearly 7,000 comments written on the performer's post was one that could easily pass as spam.
The malware was situated in a Firefox browser extension pretending to be a security feature and it would search for hidden links in order to connect back to its control server. And the comment, now deleted, was actually a web address that required a fairly complicated, multi-step process to decipher.
In this case, the malware went through all of the comments on Spears' Instagram photo and computed a number, or a "hash," for each one, while it looked for a specific hash. When it found the comment with the right hash, it would check it out for particular characters, grab the letters that came after those characters and turn them it into alink. That link would then let the malware connect to its controllers. Such a method allows the controllers to change where it meets up with the malware without having to change the malware itself.
ESET Security said they thought this particular post was just a test and linked the malware scheme to a group called Turla, a cyber espionage group that the company says has targeted governments, government officials and diplomats for some time.
So, while that weird comment on your latest selfie might look like junk, it could actually be a conduit for some Russian malware and the subject of some upcoming breaking news. Happy posting.

In contemporary Japanese culture, otokonoko (男の娘 Otoko no ko, "male daughter" or "male girl"), or otoko no musume, are men who cross-dress as women.[1]
The term originated in Japanese manga[2] and Internet culture in the 2000s, but the concept reflects a broad range of earlier traditions and examples of male drag-wearing in Japan, such as onnagata in kabuki theater, and in the career of cross-dressing entertainer Akihiro Miwa. Otokonoko is a play on the word 男の子, also pronounced otokonoko and meaning "boy". Associated with otaku culture, it has given rise to dedicated maid cafés, fashion stores and a range of popular media. It is often combined with the cosplay of female fictional characters by men.[1]
The concept of otokonoko does not correspond to a particular sexual identity or gender identity. Otokonoko may be of any sexual orientation.[1][2]
By extension, otokonoko also refers to a genre of media and fiction about cross-dressing men, aimed at a male audience. It is part of the spectrum of shōnen entertainment (targeted at young boys) and seinen entertainment (targeted at young men), and often contains erotic or romantic elements. Otokonoko characters have also begun to appear in mainstream Japanese popular entertainment such as manga, anime and video games.[1]
