Shai-Hulud, that spoopy Git worm thingy everyones been yapping about, was open-sourced.
Unfortunately, GitHub has removed the repo.
This is terrible news.
It can no longer be studied... unless there was someone who collected this sort of thing and has a local copy...
Big news for Blue Team nerds
That nerd who released those Microsoft 0days has created two new repos on GitHub with spooky sounding names indicating they will be releasing two new Windows 0days.
Very cool

Also, shout out to this company for setting their demo volume to 150%. I played the video and yanked my headphones off my head. Who the fuck put together this video?

Hello
I have collected more malware. It's like, ... 200,000 malware, I think. I don't know. I've stopped counting.
It is enough malware for your friends, family, extended family, neighbors, and co-workers.
Please download it. The malware is lonely.

Note: there is a 0% chance they're drone striked. I've only seen a nerd drone striked once. These are just angry normies who don't understand computers and are raging online.

ShinyHunters has successfully hit the big leagues.
ShinyHunters successfully disrupting exams, schooling, grading, government funded research projects, dissertation work, graduations, financial aid, financial loss, potentially immigration complications, and more, has elevated this from "a silly shenanigan" to "major national security incident" and being labeled as an attack on United States critical infrastructure.
If I had to guess, the FBI, NSA, CIA, DIA, CISA, ICE, and DOE are all involved due to the disruption of this.
This isn't the largest extortion campaign I've seen, but this is definitely in the top ten. This is what the kids call a "Certified Hood Classic".
ShinyHunters compromised Canvas (to a currently unknown extent) which resulted in a "this system has been compromised" to over 9,000 universities.
As ridiculous as that sounds, I'm not memeing. It has been speculated it is actually over 9,000 universities.
ShinyHunters is having their ALPHV moment. They're now going to get attention at a serious scale outside of the information security circle.
Poking Windows with a stick exploring really silly and overly complicated malware concept.

Documentation says to use DwmGetWindowAttribute in dwmapi.dll but really just uses GetWindowCompositionAttribute in user32.dll and forwards to win32u.dll for syscall
DwmGetWindowAttribute works on Vista... but its forward to GetWindowCompositionAttribute needs at minimum windows 7...

Good news everyone

What does this mean? TeamPCP, or someone else, has released the fully weaponized worm for you.

I have updates to vx-underground, but in honor of Mother's Day weekend I promised Mrs. Smellington I'd watch the baby so she can do whatever girls do for fun (I actually have no idea what they do for fun)

Happy Mother's Day weekend to all of the Mommy's.
To celebrate the occasion, here is a picture of a cat wearing a hat.

ShinyHunters got access to Canvas infrastructure from ... "Vishing".
Social engineering.
WHY IS IT ALWAYS FUCKING SOCIAL ENGINEERING
Oh, only some are back up. Not all.
Nevermind. Please continue suffering and panicking
I can assert with a high degree of confidence ShinyHunters did not exfiltrate highly sensitive information.
Based on information I've received the primary information stolen from the schools is student names and email addresses. Furthermore, this has been confirmed by various media outlets.
This in of itself isn't bad.
The primary issue with this however is that it would expose children in K-12 online (first and last name). Adults having their full legal name and email address online is something you could (probably) find on LinkedIn or a university directory. Adults will be ignored if data is leaked. K-12 will be a nightmare. Hence, educational institutions must put together a strategy to handle a K-12 potential data leak.
Presumably parents will be outraged and this will inevitably result in a lawsuit against the schools or Canvas.
The much larger issue however is the catastrophic damage ShinyHunters has done to Canvas both operational and reputational.
Exfiltrating data from a compromised host is as simple as initializing a file transfer. The question then: why is Canvas still "in maintenance mode"? The only logical conclusion is ShinyHunters did SOMETHING to prevent Canvas from working as intended.
This places Canvas is a terrible, terrible, terrible position. Their service has resulted in minors having their names (potentially) leaked and educational institutions can't use the platform they pay for. Furthermore, this makes major educational institutions look like a bunch of morons.
Students are paying top dollar for an education and suddenly ... poof ... a good chunk of their work or study material has vaporized because it was stored in a 3rd party platform outside the control of the educational institution.
Basically, the data breach itself isn't bad except the K-12 part. The operational impact is devastating and the fallout will be a nightmare. Canvas employees are probably scrambling, their cybersecurity team is probably having panic attacks, and executive leadership is probably drunk right now screaming at the wall.
On social media parents are outraged and are commenting they want the United States to respond MILITARILY.
They're unironically calling for Hegseth to authorize military action against ShinyHunters and DRONE STRIKE them.
Holy cow
I briefly spoke with "Shiny" online. He wouldn't give me any information on the compromise.
I tried advanced interrogation tactics (silly pictures of cats) and he still wouldn't tell me anything.
smh

One of my good friends was deployed to the Middle East about 17 years ago.
He did a 6 year stint in the military.
He got out and had some mental health issues and had problems integrating back into the world outside the military.
After nearly 8 years of struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and alcohol issues, I'm happy to share he's finally got his head back on straight.
He told me he's attending university for cybersecurity. He got himself a really nice girlfriend who seems very supportive of him. He's got a nice home to call him own.
He's doing really, really good. It all worked out.
Proud of my boy.
