Schools need to stop teaching kids malware is like, 'trojans', and 'worms', etc. It's not 1996 anymore.
New malware types:
- Ransomware
- Loaders
- Information Stealers
- Piles of shit that doesn't work
- RATs
Good morning, evening, or night.
Instead of working today we're just going to scream out the window as loud as possible.
Thanks,
This person is lying on their resume and claiming to work for vx-underground. It makes zero sense.
1. vx-underground doesn't have contractors.
2. We don't have a security strategy
3. We don't have any sort of policies... or policy management
4. We don't do risk management, or risk assessments
5. We don't do compliance stuff. We have nothing to comply with
6. We don't do incident response
7. We don't do security awareness training
8. We don't deal with vendors
9. We don't do security monitoring, there is nothing to monitor
10. We don't do any sort of security governance, there is no one to report security governance to
11. We don't do continuous improvement
vx-underground is a free website, not a fortune 500 company.
BREAKING: We've just been informed this was stolen from nixcraft and given to us. Nixcraft, we're so sorry, please don't beat us up after school
Читать полностью…Hello,
Just because you did 1 thing for me 1 time does not make you a core contributor, volunteer, or member. It does not mean you're my friend, it does not mean you can list me as a reference.
Wake up. Stop making this weird.
We've had like, 6 people now say they're part of vx-underground because they personally assisted me like, one time, 3 years ago.
It's called doing someone a favor. It doesn't mean you can put it on a resume.
Also, these companies do background checks, and when they contact me via e-mail, or Telegram, or Discord, and say "do you know this person?" and send me your resume and photo, it makes you look like a giant jackass when I have to say "I have no idea who that is"

Today the United States Department of Justice indicted Russian nationals Elena Afanasyeva and Kostiantyn Kalashnikov for violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Afanasyeva and Kalashnikov remain at large as of September 4th.
Afanasyeva and Kalashnikov are accused of laundering money to covertly fund as much as $10,000,000 to English-speaking social media companies (listed as U.S. Company-1) to sway content in favor of the Russian government.
Interestingly, the indictment states the company which received the funds is described as, "a network of heterodox commentators that focus on Western political and cultural issues". Journalists and researchers have tied this to Tennessee-based company Tenet Media ... because ... it has the exact same message on their homepage verbatim.
This media company employees conservative media commentators Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, Tayler Hansen, Matt Christiansen, Dave Rubin, and Benny Johnson.
The indictment is interesting, discusses the money laundering techniques, disinformation campaigns, and their chat communication medium ... on Discord.
Image 1 is U.S. Company-1 per the indictment. Image 2 is Tenet Media.

We were made aware of the issue when AV companies contacted us regarding our VirusTotal account and the files being corrupted.
tl;dr my bad yall (its free, so fuck you, but seriously were sorry were fixing it)
September 3rd, Lara Trump (daughter-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump) and Tiffany Trump (daughter of former U.S. President Donald Trump) had their X accounts compromised.
Their accounts briefly shilled some sort of crypto stuff. X locked the accounts within minutes.
Today reports surfaced on a cybersecurity incident impacting the London Transport Department
We can assert with a high degree of confidence that this 'incident' is of extreme severity. The immediate presence of the NCA and NCSC drives this point further.
"why do you guys make such weird posts??"
Because we've been discussing malware, collecting malware, writing malware, reversing malware, reviewing malware, reading about malware — anything and everything malware for years.
It has fundamentally corrupted our minds

It was a truly epic gamer move that you were cheating in Call of Duty. We're sorry for your loss.
R.I.P.
Babyvx is currently compiling. However, the compiler is poorly optimized and the estimated time remaining is roughly 6.5 months.

Yes, we can see your friend request and user activity. We will allow you to continue using your Call of Duty account — you're a funny person.
One time a high ranking official for the United States National Security Agency made a post on Twitter about memes.
We sent them a private message. They never responded.
This is the video we sent:
Improving the homelab today — decided to run some cables through the wall to be fancy.

Our malware ingestion system prepended 'file=' to every file being sent to VirusTotal, thus impacting AV vendors down stream. Sent vendors hundreds of thousands of botched malware samples
