Exciting news.
1. Thanks to JaffaCakes118 and Neiki we are now collecting roughly 20,000 unique malware samples a day. Some days we break 30,000 samples. Thanks to them, petikvx, and virussign we are now ingesting over 1,000,000 samples a month. Yay!
2. This is actually pretty expensive. Ingesting, compressing, archiving, and distributing this much malware, on top of the normal traffic vx-underground receives, brings our current monthly web traffic average to 270TB – or 3.24PB of web traffic a year. Thank you to our friends at Cloudflare who have helped us so much with this traffic load.
3. Thank you to everyone who donates and sponsors us. This isn't an easy task while charging $0.00. Thank you to our largest financial contributor, Malcoreio and our largest monthly donor, TorGuard. A special thanks to our largest individual donor HackingDave.

We had to convert USD and real-world value things into Robux because some of our younger audience members don't seem to comprehend the vastness of this stolen money.
They do however seem to understand Robux because that's the only exposure they've ever had to economics.

A few days ago Fortune magazine did an article about Ferrari disclosing an attempted cybersecurity breach via social engineering.
tl;dr social engineering using ai / deepfake voice
Sometime earlier this month (July, 2024) a Ferrari executive began receiving unusual text messages from an individual impersonating Ferrari Chief Executive Officer Benedetto Vigna.
Interesting, the impersonator called the (unidentified, target's name was not disclosed publicly) executive. The caller is suspected to have used AI and/or deepfake technology to mimick Benedetto Vigna. The unidentified executive stated the tone, the language, and the accent were perfect. However, some of the language seemed unusual. The executive then asked the impersonator: "Sorry, Benedetto, but I need to identify you. What was the title of the book you had just recommended to me a few days earlier?"
The individual, unable to answer the question, terminated the phone call.
This is one of the first major, and publicly disclosed, social engineering attempts via AI / deepfake technology that we're aware of. The Threat landscape is slowly shifting (as is tradition).
A few days ago we were alerted to Roblox 'cheaters' (we're using that term loosely) being impacted by malicious code in their 'cheat tool'.
tl;dr malicious script is malicious
The tool being used by Roblox nerds, Wave Executor, executes scripts. In the event a user intentionally, or accidentally, executes a malicious payload, then of course it is going to be malicious.
If you ran a malicious powershell script would you be surprised it was malicious? If you copy-pasted a malicious Python script into IDLE and executed it, would you be surprised it's malicious?
The screenshot circulating is not indicative of some ultra-1337 Roblox cheat exploit – the user, or proof-of-concept developer, detonated a malicious script. The primary security threat posed to Roblox nerds is, as previously stated, nerds accidentally detonating malicious scripts. We don't expect a script-runner tool designed for Roblox to attempt to determine whether or not something is malicious.
Just be careful copy-pasting code into your script-thingy – or don't, whatever.

Today the United States, the Russian Federation, and Germany did a prisoner swap.
Most notably:
Roman Seleznev a/k/a Track2, is being returned to the Russian Federation. Seleznev was a prominent member of carder-dot-su. Seleznev developed automated systems for systemic identity theft and credit card fraud. He is estimated to have stolen over $50,000,000
Vladislav Klyushin, is being returned to the Russian Federation. Klyushin was a notorious hack-to-trade fraudster. He and his group compromised organizations to get perform pseudo-insider-trading which resulted in profits over $93,000,000.
Videos released today via the Kremlin shows President Vladimir Putin greeting prisoners as they set foot on Russian soil once again. Here is the clip of Roman Seleznev shaking hands with Vladimir Putin.

We are happy to announce that finally, after harddrive purchasers waiting 4.5 months, we have received all of the harddrives from the manufacturer.
Moving forward we're going to completely redo how we handle shipping goods because 4.5 months is ridiculous.

We gotta start making more money some how because we're about to be sharing so many samples daily it'll literally cripple us financially 😂😂😂

Love you, see you tomorrow:)
Based on this message we received, and another subsequent message sent to us, it appears some people believe we are transgender (we're a group, so it's kind of confusing), and us praising Gojira at the Olympics means we are satanic pedophiles (???)

We got a DMCA strike for sharing footage of the Gojira performance.
Lame.
Anyway, back to malware stuff
We're witnessing people complain in droves because of us praising the recent appearance of Gojira at the Olympics.

This isn't breaking news. But when we saw this we lost our minds.
France is cool and badass.
