Lockbit ransomware group claims to have ransomed eFile dot com.
eFile dot com IS NOT the IRS eFile system. eFile dot com is an IRS authorized entity approved for submitting financial documents to the IRS.
Update:
We found the guy who owns the MALWRE plate and he has received the sticker.
Oh. My. God.
The possibilities for initial access malware just went through the roof.

Читать полностью…We don't know much about pagers, or explosives.

"Everyone has to return to office. I only made $29,300,000 last year. How am I going to afford my new yacht on this salary?" — Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon
Читать полностью…Amazon announced starting in 2025 all workers will be expected to be back in the office.
Amazon employees jumped with joy knowing they will now have to wake up earlier, commute, waste time and money on travel, spend less time with their families, and deal with office politics!
This is actually a good point. Most people playing video games are probably casual, don't want to buy a computer, and just want to relax in the living room, or wherever, and play on a controller.
Also, older consoles are cool and badass. Sega Dreamcast Podracing was badass

Administrative updates:
- VXDB is still syncing with VirusTotal. All corrupt files have been repaired. We are currently refining our malware ingestion process.
- MalwareIngestion collection has been purged due to fears of binaries being corrupted. MalwareIngestion will be repaired and redeployed at a later time.
- New vx-underground merch scheduled to be added to merch store. This will be done at a later time.

Just kidding, that didn't happen. That'd be crazy though.
we're gone for 30 minutes and now people are turning walkie talkies into bombs wtf
Читать полностью…Actually, maybe not. Microsoft has upped the ante. It's all over.
We didn't anticipate Microsoft actually caring 😭
We spotted someone in California with the license plate "MALWRE".

Amazon employees are making six figures. Free coffee is 100% not a make-or-break situation. Half these nerds are probably burning money on Uber Eats because they don't even want to walk to the kitchen
In the United States this is an actual career path. The job title is "Influencer". If done correctly you can get as much as $100,000/video by the Kremlin

- Random old blog from the mid-2000's, author stopped posting 15 years ago.
- Chinese developer forums
Probably one of the largest updates we've done in a long time.
