Underground ransomware group, a relatively new group which first appeared roughly March 21, 2024, has claimed to have ransomed Synology.
Synology is a Taiwanese corporation that specializes in network-attached storage appliances. Many nerds are familiar with them.
Underground ransomware group claims to have exfiltrated 51GBs of data. Upon review of leaked data snippets it appears they've primarily exfiltrated data off of user workstations. It is also in German. We aren't going to translate German into English (it's Saturday) – so we can't weight in on the validity or the value of the data.
Interestingly, the date of the data shows 2023-07-18. We aren't sure if they've had access to Synology for several months, or they've simply grabbed older data.
Unlike most traditional ransomware groups they also have a Telegram channel.
These government e-mails, which can used for social engineering, can be sold for as low as $1 – in some cases they're free because of how many are available.
tl;dr their problem is your problem because they will use it against your company or end users
(we're not the fancy smart looking dude in the suit)

Other members of vx-underground listen to weird techno music that sounds like it belongs in an anime. Other members, such as Bradley, don't listen to anything so they can focus (he is probably a serial killer)
Note:
* No Threat Actor(s) have taken credit for the compromise
* Individuals reviewing the data suspect the parent company, Psyclone Inc, may have been the initial access point. Evidence supporting this is debug data present in The Post Millennial database dump as well as adjacent website HumanEvents going offline – however this still remains speculation.

Have a nice day.
Thank you to the people who enjoy calling us 'fart faces' and 'stinky' from compromised government e-mails. It's fun:)
It's also painstakingly obvious that less-developed countries run rampant with stealer malware and it poses a serious security threat

Читать полностью…Yesterday evening The Post Millennial, a Canadian conservative news website, was compromised. The landing page was defaced, displaying the transgender flag, as well as making a satirical post mocking conservative author and social media commentator Andy Ngo.
The Threat Actor(s) responsible for the compromise leaked information on 39,850 subscribers to the website. The leaked information includes:
- Gender
- Name
- Display name
- Nick name
- E-mail address
- Phone number
- Address
- Password
- Subscriber details (payment information)
- 'Daleted' – a boolean field incorrectly spelled
and more...
Passwords are in plain text. Payment information does not display credit card information. Payment information displays preferred payment method (e.g. PayPal, Credit Card, Debit Card) and currency used (e.g. CAD, USD). Some fields are optional such as telephone number or address. Additionally, this leak unveils some information on government representatives across the globe – including United States government personnel. This displays their contact information in plain text.
Also, the Threat Actor(s) leaked information on authors for The Post Millennial editors. We are not sure on the validity of this data, unless this website has 761 editors. Editor information disclosure shows:
- Username
- IP Address
- Phone number
- Country
- Email address
- Name

In Honor of World Password Day we would like to inform all of you that the password is "infected"
Thanks

He made approx. $8,300,000. Don't throwaway your life for ransomware.
2 weeks ago McAfee reported a variant of Redline stealer using Lua.
This is 100% some nerd from Roblox who decided to go into the stealer game 😂😂😂
