David Fincher's 1999 cult-classic 'Fight Club', based on the novel written by Charles Palahniuk, has a scene which philosophically reminds us of what we witness every single day in the cyber-ecosystem

We've received a lot of messages today regarding Lockbit ransomware groups Telegram.
We've been in contact with Lockbit ransomware group and several of their affiliates and subgroups since 2019. Lockbit ransomware group does not have a Telegram.
Lockbit is so paranoid he uses his own onion-based file sharing service. He thinks Telegram, Twitter, virtually all social media, is controlled by governments and refuses to use them.
Also, the account some of you send us named FbiSupp is not the real FBI. We have no idea what or who this account is — but the real FBI Telegram accounts are listed on the United States Department of Justice and Justice for Rewards (operated by the United States Department of State) website. These are imposters.
tl;dr being scammed by fake FBI because ??? and scammed by fake Lockbit because ???
After over 5 years of work, we believe vx-underground is now approaching "maintenance mode" — our work will primarily be keeping content up to date.
tl;dr 1,825 days of work

Читать полностью…Today following the CSS injection discovered by cloud11665, internet nerds also discovered you can do CSS injection on the issues tab.
The attached link is defanged. Someone did a CSS injection on a raised issue, which resulted in the issue being essentially hijacked. When the link is clicked it quickly flashes in black & white a Discord invitation link.
This could potentially pose an issue to individuals who suffer from epilepsy.
Link if you're curious what it looks like:

Today on the Microsoft blog the Vice President of Windows and Devices, Pavan Davuluri, released new information & updates on Microsoft Recall citing that they 'have heard feedback' on Microsoft Recall and have decided to make some changes to how it operates.
- You can now choose whether or not you want Recall active during installation. It is no longer active by default
- "Windows Hello" enrollment is now required to enable Recall. A "proof-of-presence" is required to view and search Recall
- Recall is now implementing additional layers of protection – it is decrypted in-real-time with Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS). Data is only decrypted when a user authenticates it. Search index is all encrypted.
They've also introduced more management features of administrators of corporate or enterprise environments.
Thanks to CyberCakeX for sharing this with us.

The aftermath of Internet Degenerates vs. GitHub employees at the Battle of Anime Backgrounds.
Photo taken the 8th of June, 2024. Respect to all the anime photos lost in the battle 🙏
The GitHub CSS Injection which was patched a few hours ago has already been bypassed.
Internet nerds are returning with wrath as they resume anime backgrounds and anime banners
We were asked not to show the bypass code to 340,000 people so it's not patched instantly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Today following the CSS injection discovered by cloud11665, security researcher vmfunc discovered you can also create ReadMe files which force log people out of their GitHub profiles. Oh, and you can make IP grabbers!
GitHub has now become the wild west
Today cloud11665 discovered a CSS injection vulnerability (or super cool customization feature) on GitHub.

Today on 4chan someone leaked the source code (?) to the New York Times. They leaked 270GB of data
They wrote that the New York Times has 5,000+ source code repositories, with less than 30 being encrypted (?). It is 3,600,000 files in total
Note: We haven't reviewed the data
Security Researcher James Forshaw discovered Microsoft Recall uses a 'conditional access trick' he himself noted recently.
You can bypass Recall access restrictions by getting a token on AIXHost.exe and then impersonating it.

May 31st the United States Marine corp released information on a new program to improve Cyber Security Specialist and Signals Intelligence enlistments.
The Marine corp can now enroll someone up to an E-7 rank, with the highest being E-9, based on education and experience.
Interested participants must still pass basic training and meet standard fitness requirements.
The pay for an E-7 rank is $43,500 annually.
Alternatively, individuals with backgrounds in cyber security can apply for jobs in the private sector and make $150,000 - $750,000 based on education and experience, while also being able to work remotely, not wear a uniform, not have to do basic training, and not be stationed on a base.
