Читать полностью…There have been multiple instances now where we end up speaking with Chief Executive Officer's at large, and well-known, cyber security company's.
Ultimately during the course of our conversation we end up responding with kitty kat pictures.
Each time they're confused 😂😂😂
Imagine being the big-boss of some place and unironically having to deal our dumbasses because we're the only morons willing to collect malware material at this scale😂😂
We've sanitized the vx-underground malware ingestion releases for May, 2024. All samples are now named correctly. We're now processing June and July 2024.
It's literally only malware 🥺
I got social engineered into giving an interview for BreachedForum.
They impersonated CyberScoopNews. It seemed strange the journalist was using a Gmail, but I never thought I would be tricked into a vx-underground interview.
Solid impersonation, silly goof.
10/10
We're so back.
We're correctly labeling our malware collection and filtering out the non-malicious files
vx-underground was created to store malware source code, samples, and papers that I liked.
Since 2019 nothing has really changed except I got a team of friends, some help, and some malware source code, samples, and papers.

On Tuesday, August 20th, 2024, the United States Department of Justice did a press release on the most intelligent person in world history.
Jesse Kipf, 29 of Somerset, Kentucky, USA, owed a total of $195,758.65 in child support. Jesse, being a true intellectual, decided to the best decision was to compromise the United States Hawaii Death Registry System, using stolen credentials from a physician in a different state outside of Hawaii, and insert himself into the Death Registry. Additionally, he used his own name, Jesse Kipf, to assert his own death and certified his own death using the name Jesse Kipf
tl;dr Jesse Kipf died, death was certified by the deceased Jesse Kipf and corpse of Jesse Kipf was verified by the deceased Jesse Kipf (recursive death certification and verification?)
The death certificate was signed by a different physicians stolen signature.
He was sentenced to 6 years and 7 months in prison for being a true intellectual.
Our advice to anyone who is trying to grow a project, or community, or whatever, is to be consistent.
Our first year we barely had 1,000 followers. We celebrated when we broke 100 followers because it was surreal thinking 100 people cared about this crappy little website.
Administrative updates:
Bad news:
Following our migration we're still having problems with users receiving ACCESS_DENIED when attempting to view or download files
Good news:
We have 100+- papers in queue. We broke a personal record and ingested 450,000+ new malware samples.
POV: Your grandson downloaded a Fortnite mod from a YouTube comment section and now you're being extorted for $999 (but you get 50% off if you pay in less than 72 hours)
Читать полностью…Administrative updates:
- Daily malware ingestion average is 400,000
- Infrastructure difficulties with our VXDB — migrating is illegal and for nerds
- Paper additions temporarily suspended
- SosMula of City Morgue agreed to give us his autograph
Have a nice day

10/10 for person controlling the account
This image was stolen from a Malwarebytes' post. This was the stock photo they used when discussing the National Public Data drama.
