1. i didnt discover this, vmfunc and friends did. im regurgitating their stuff
2. ive been informed discord stopped using persona. they use something else now. persona is still used in lots of places (like apparently roblox)
3. vmfunc and friends are still doing a write up about it and trying to talk to persona about it.

tl;dr persona kyc and openai are frens, using your selfie for verification and sending to ICE (or USGOV in general), using AI to tie to your financial records. see subsequent post for full write-up. its long and not mobile friendly
I'm sorry, CaptMag, I love you, dawg, but I audibly laughed when you initialized your unsigned integers (DWORD) to NULL.
If you want to get really technical, NULL on Windows is defined as zero, so it ... sort of ... makes sense, you are technically setting your unsigned integers to zero, but NULL is supposed to indicate an invalid pointer.
I have no idea how your IDE hasn't been screaming at you about this.
Apparently this account is large enough now where this is important news to people
Yes, people actually received this on Xitter
I'm currently:
- writing over 500,000,000 lines of code a day
- running 400 different agents
- building 9 different apps
My wife and her boyfriend are so proud of me. What's your excuse?

Before my son was born my wife and I read all these books and stuff on babies. We also took these fancy classes.
Literally none of them told us the baby would try to headbutt.
THEIR HEADS HURT. THEY HEADBUTT YOUR FACE
If Palantir was actually compromised DarkWebInformer or S0ufi4n3 would be shouting from the roof tops. They'd tell everyone.
They'd dig up the corpse of Queen Elizabeth II and scream in the skeletons face Palantir has been compromised.
I'm not being rhetorical and I'm not trying to be critical. I see so many people discussing it and hyping it up. I've skimmed the documentation, reviewed some of the skills, but ... it JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME
I'm sitting here like, "why do I need an AI agent to respond to people on Discord or Slack or Telegram for me? What if it makes a mistake? What if someone abuses it?"
I don't understand the purpose and I don't place arbitrary trust into AI stuff. I'm not even being a hater, I can't wrap my head around this thing conceptually.

Last time on Dragon Ball Z: Paragon employees accidentally unveiled the GRAPHITE spyware panel to the world when taking selfies for LinkedIn.
GRAPHITE is spyware sold to governments to perform espionage on targets.
Paragon has officially commented on the matter by stating the OPSEC mistake was a "tiny price to pay, in relation to the contribution of female empowerment".
Paragon, what the fuck are you talking about???
Individuals at Google, META, Discord, and Reddit have anonymously shared information with the New York Times regarding the United States Department of Homeland Security issuing subpoenas on individuals who track and criticize ICE.
The United States government is wanting information in individuals such as private messages, phone numbers, e-mails, etc.
The New York Times confirmed the validity of the subpoenas after receiving several copies which the tech companies received.
If the tech companies decide to comply with the subpoena, the individuals are alerted and have 14 days to fight the United States government in court.
The United States Department of Homeland security did not immediately respond to all questions from the New York Times. However, they assert they have "broad administrative subpoena authority" and the subpoenas are designed to ensure ICE agents remain safe in the field.
Sometimes I think about the time some people from this group called QAnon accused me and ThugCrowd of being a Biden psyop to put people in "FEMA concentration camps".
It's been years and I'm still confused by it.
That guy who made OpenClaw is now working at OpenAI.
What does this mean? Probably nothing.
What does it mean if you're an AI hype bro? This. Changes. Everything. Subscribe to my newsletter

nerds were goofing around on the internet and accidentally found mass surveillance technology owned by openai, persona-id, and working with the us gov
guess i gotta do a tl;dr on this mfer
Was surfing the internet and found some kid who is sharing his malware proof-of-concepts online. His work is primarily recycling and recreating existing techniques for him to study or to demonstrate the ideas to others.
Is his code good? No, God no. It is littered with errors, poor naming conventions, and extremely dangerous control flow. I love it him for this, unironically.
This kid having bad code shows he isn't using AI to work. He is legit. He is putting himself out there, demonstrating what he can do (or can't do), and showing he isn't afraid to get criticized.
I love seeing people grind and put in the work. It's the pain that makes you good. Taking shortcuts doesn't achieve anything.
I don't know if it he is on social media stuff, but you're doing good stuff, "CaptMag". Keep putting in work. You'll go far. I see you, gang.
When people ask what I do for a living I have no idea how to explain to them I collect, develop, and reverse engineer malware.
I usually say, "I do stuff with computers".
Then I immediately change the conversation and hide.
FLARE released a paper on a Linux botnet using IRC as a C2.
WHAT YEAR IS IT???
Then I remembered Threat Actors can't use Discord as a C2 because they probably want ID verification
Meanwhile on X, I volunteered to run TorGuard VPNs social media. They're a big donor to vx-underground.
In one day I got in trouble. I made a joke we're laying off the engineering department and apparently it's not cool to joke about laying people off
Okay, so Kim Dotcom made a post online saying he has information about Palantir being compromised.
I am extremely skeptical of these claims.
My initial post escaped my core audience (as is tradition) so I am going to be a little more verbose and explain stuff.
Compromising a large institution such as Palantir is not something some random guy down the street can do. Palantir is large and has many moving parts. In other words, Palantir does not store all of it's information on one computer and in a crusty old hard drive somewhere.
Palantir (presumably) has data segregated meaning not all data is one place. Different types of data is going to be stored in different locations (in the cloud, or physically on-premise). Hence, a compromise of Palantir which would unveil ALL DATA would require two things:
- Extreme skill
- Extreme patience
This sort of compromise is not something that happens in a day. This sort of compromise is something which would take weeks, months, or maybe even years depending on the objective. Historically, when large compromises toward large institutions occur it is almost exclusively performed by state-sponsored Threat Groups (hackers funded by governments), or in some more rare scenarios, financially motivated Threat Actors (ransomware, extortionists).
If Palantir was compromised, it would be EXTREMELY unusual for a state-sponsored group or financially motivated group to make it exclusive to one individual person. Rarely do state-sponsored Threat Groups notify influencers, or journalists, ... or anyone really of their objectives. They're funded by governments. Governments do not care about clout. IF a state-sponsored group does notify someone, they typically do mass e-mails to journalists (for misinformation, disinformation, or fearmongering, some sort of strategic objective, they don't do it to look cool).
If it was performed by a financially motivated Threat Group they will almost immediately discuss it online in their domain of choice. For example, many Threat Actors who compromise places may sell access on forums such as Exploit, TierOne, or Breached (or whatever is adjacent to Breached). Alternatively, ransomware groups post about it on their personal website to try to extort or intimidate victims. However, no discussion of Palantir has appeared in any of these places.
Okay... so no signs from financially motivated Threat Actors... and it would be really unusual for a state-sponsored Threat Actor to make it exclusive to one person... is there anything else weird about this? Yes.
If Palantir was compromised it would be unusual for ANY group of Threat Actors to notify anyone immediately after a compromise. By notifying Kim Dotcom, or whoever, they're sounding the metaphorical alarm. Palantir is going to immediately order a DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) and begin an internal audit. Things are going to be locked down. If someone compromised Palantir why would they burn access so quickly? Why would they notify someone so quickly? They're leaving an audit trail.
There is a lot of speculation, little evidence, and things not really making a whole lot of sense.
Is it possible Kim Dotcom is telling the truth? Yes.
Is it likely? No.
Is it possible Kim Dotcom THINKS it's real, but it's NOT real? Yes, that is more likely to be true. It would not surprise me if he is (intentionally, or unintentionally) participating in a misinformation campaign.

Mark Zuckerberg a/k/a shape shifting lizard man, has patented spooky internet ghost technology. Amazing.
By training off your data, AI can emulate your existence on social media after you've died.
Ever miss Grandmas schizo racist posts? Your heroin addict cousin getting into arguments with family members because he owes them money? Want to be constantly reminded of your friend tragic death?
With Meta spooky internet ghost technology this is possible! Yay!
I read about OpenClaw.
I still don't understand the purpose. Can someone seriously explain to me the purpose of this AI assistant? I reviewed the different "skills" it offers and it makes literally zero sense.
This can be used to automate ... messages to other people? Like on Slack, or Discord, or Telegram? Check the weather? Do stuff with Stripe? I don't understand the purpose.
Why would I need something to automatically deal with instant messaging clients? Am I missing something? Even if you don't NEED it, why would you WANT it?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
The Windows COM (Component Object Model) at first glance seems like a nightmare, primarily because it's so poorly documented, but once you get the hang of it, it makes complete sense.
Once you get the hang of it you see all the possibilities for malware or evasion. It's a rich environment with tons of super cool and unexplored concepts. You feel like an archeologist exploring the decaying insides of the Windows Operating System.
Another problem, in my opinion, is Windows does such a piss poor job explaining how it works. They provide these massive fuck off documents, but most of it is noise and will rarely apply to what you're actually wanting or needing.
Overall I give the Windows COM three (3) cat pictures because it's such a cool technology. However, I will subtract three (3) cat pictures because newer components of Windows irritate me.
Dawg, you're selling fucking spyware to governments to spy on people who criticize the government or oppose them. What the fuck does female empowerment have to do with this? What the fuck kind of virtue signaling misdirection bullshit is this

I did not link directly to the article because it is paywalled (as is tradition). If you're a person who bypasses paywalls, or have a subscription to the New York Times, can you read about it here:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/technology/dhs-anti-ice-social-media.html
Yes, this is why RAM prices are expensive
Yes, I am part of the problem
No, I don't care. If the normies can make dumb AI dance slop I can consume silly kitty cat AI slop.
Being an AI hype bro and a crypto bro at the same time is like mixing Fentanyl with Xanax
Both will ruin your life and probably kill you
I've updated my personal website malwaresourcecode.com.
I've added new ways to do the following:
- CaplockString
- CopyMemory
- StringCompare
- StringConcat
- StringLength
- ZeroMemory
You're probably thinking, "why do i give a fuck about this? this all standard crt stuff". The answer is: "idk lol". I like exploring different ways to do things. It is interesting to me.
I'm currently working on a way to download files from a remote host using NdrClientCall3 (RPCs with IBackgroundCopyJob) and ended up falling down a weird rabbit hole.
Maybe you'll find it mildly interesting, maybe you're rolling your eyes because it is kind of goofy to find seven different ways to zero fill a buffer.
But is it goofy I have 18 different ways to hash a string? Yes, it is still goofy, but I admire it for some reason.
Cheers,
