Yesterday, or whenever, DICK's Sporting Goods, an American store that sells sports stuff, filed an SEC 8K. Based on reports – sounds like they've been hit by ransomware
We've never seen such a mute public response to a large ransomware attack. Literally no one seemed to care 😭
Starting September vx-underground will charge $100 for every 100 Yottabytes of data used on the website.
We apologize for the inconvenience
Big brain time.
Daniel Rhyne was employed as a core infrastructure engineer for an unnamed company. He intentionally changed domain controller credentials in an attempt to extort his employer out of $750,000.
He's now facing 30 years in prison.

This actually isn't the first time this has happened from Facebook. Last time this happened it was users commenting on celebrity profiles.
The issue was resolved within a few hours.
Anyway, Happy Birthday!

Our recent poll shows that somewhere between 25% - 35% of our follower base (72,000 people+-) have absolutely no idea what we do.
They only follow us for the memes and news.
tl;dr we collect all materials malware related for researchers, gossip with cyber criminals, and meme
We missed our own 5 year Twitter birthday.
Yay! We're 5 (on Twitter!)
Our memory is a little fuzzy, but we can't recall a time where someone used ... the windows command line interface ... to change creds to "TheFr0zenCrew!" then asking for $750,000.
It's unfathomably galaxy brain — a truly epic gamer moment.
Today Facebook users noticed a botched modification to the Facebook recommendation algorithm. Users are reporting their feeds are being flooded with "Happy Birthday" posts ... from people and to people they don't know.
tl;dr Facebook is now "Happy Birthday" and advertisements

$2,266 for the official vx-underground channel?
You might as well spit in our face and shit in our shoes. We've worked tirelessly for 5 years and you think we'd sell our souls for $2,266?
The disrespect is crazy 😭😭😭
Dear large enterprise companies using our website,
Contact your boss, or your bosses boss, and tell them to give us some of their large enterprise company money. We offer everything for free, if you're going to profit off our work, at least throw us a few bucks
Thanks,
Hello,
Please do not lie on your resume and claim to be 'employed' at vx-underground. It is very awkward when we have to inform your potential employer that you're lying.
Also, it's weird, don't be a booger.
Thanks,
Thank you to our friend ddd1ms for the NAS hardware donation.
We are no longer storing the vx-underground archives on an old creeky external harddrive.
We now have 48TB of RAID storage, or something, something fancy. It's really cool. Thank you so much.
Regarding Pavel Durov, the apprehension of the CEO of Telegram:
tl;dr is he responsible for the crazy stuff people do?
There is a difference between freedom of speech and freedom of consequences. Indeed — Mr. Durov provides a platform used by journalists and individuals communicating under tyranny. However, because Mr. Durov is the CEO of a large communications platform, his organization is subject to different territories judicial rulings. Virtually every single country on the planet has regulations in place which define the responsibilities of the entity (i.e. organization) and the roles they must introduce to prohibit illegal behavior. Some countries are more restrictive, others are more 'lax.
It is no surprise really France (and surely other countries beyond France) believe Mr. Durov must be held responsible for the behavior of its end users. This is not a debate of 'free speech' as it falls within the scope of liability of end user behavior.
Example: we are aware Wagner Group openly recruits people on Telegram. Should Wagner group be allowed on Telegram? Many countries despise this group, whereas other countries like this group and praise their actions (we are sure our western colleagues may find that shocking). If they are allowed to use Telegram, to what end can they operate? Is Mr. Durov responsible for their actions which violate laws in different regions? This is not a rhetorical question. Each country, people from different geographical locations, philosophical beliefs, religions, and personal experiences will answer this question differently.
Moreover, because some people have condemned Telegram for being a drug market — this is nothing new to social media platforms. It is common place for many social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to find people advertising drug sales. The primary difference is Telegram is less likely to cooperate with western governments and Telegram does not fall within the reach of western governments. Meta (e.g. Facebook, Instagram) cooperates with law enforcement on both a local and federal level for nearly every single country on the planet.
We have no comment on the debate on E2E encryption. We use Signal. We'll let someone privy to privacy stuff to take that lead.
This is just our pseudo-educated (still ignorant) comment on a very complex problem which will continue to plague companies as things become more global.
