We don't know much about pagers, or explosives.
But what we do know a little about is malware and we can promise you there is not some 1337 technique that magically transforms a regular battery into an incendiary device.
tl;dr modified pagers, science or something
"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

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!
It's corporate propaganda to say tech workers want to return to the office.

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

Large update. Read the papers, download the malware, reverse the malware, whatever. Even writing about all the additions is a lot of work.
Note: Assume all builder binaries are malicious, explore them with caution. APT paper titles truncated or modified in this post.
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.
- New vx-underground harddrives will be available for sale later.

Thank you to the people who continue to send us strange things
Our collection includes stickers, shirts, pants, smashed network equipment, pins, autographs from FBI's most wanted, artwork, and pet pictures.
We appreciate the pet photos. We love animals.
We decided to test OpenAI's image creation functionality by requesting it produce a meme about malware authors
The image it created is funny — although not in the classical sense. It's such a catastrophic failure it has become funny
The longer you look at it, the funnier it is
New vx-underground artwork
Image 1. Drowning in SPAM
Image 2. Malware compression
It'll be open source, you can build it yourself, or you can reverse engineer it, whatever. It's not malware.

Today a Threat Actor operating under the moniker 'Fortibitch' released 440GB of exfiltrated Fortinet data. The Threat Actor claims the leaked data is a result of a failed extortion attempt. 'Fortibitch' wrote Fortinet allegedly wrote to them they'd rather 'eat poop than pay a ransom'.
Fortinet later confirmed the validity of the compromise to BleepinComputer — writing that customer data was stolen from a "third-party cloud-based shared file drive."
Additionally, 'Fortibitch' gave me a shoutout, referencing a previous vx-underground post debating the correct pronunciation of VXUG, by writing "smelly from Vi-Eks-Yu-Gee".
Subsequently, they addressed me as "-2 IQ degenerate nerd", referencing me mocking myself and my many failures I have apologized for.
Finally, they called me the "Texas Femboy Kisser". While I do not kiss femboys, or people from Texas, this conversation piece is indicative of a group of people I am familiar with.
Hello to you too, 'Fortibitch'.
tl;dr tl;dr this guy fuckin' nailed it and we believe him to be an expert figure on hardware hacking and big brain sciency magic stuff

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

Best places to find information on obscure parts of Windows internals:
- UnknownCheats, random guy with anime profile picture reversed it, only got 2 upvotes
- Random old blog from the mid-2000's, author stopped posting 15 years ago.
- Chinese developer forums

🚨BREAKING 🚨
The CEO of RecordedFuture confirms to us that they cannot wipe $400,000 of debt off our Mastercard credit card. Also, Triage will remain free.
Unironically, 90% of core viewing demographic would (in some shape or form) prefer it to be malware just so they could rip it apart and throw tomatoes at us.

We're experimenting with a vx-underground Windows Desktop e-reader. It's a simple .NET application that connects to vx-underground, lists papers, and allows you to view them without having to visit the website.
Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seems kinda cool. Also, slightly easier to explore
