TrustedSec has repeatedly spoken out about the importance of giving back, helping others, and making an impact on the community - whether it be them donating to educational programs to schools, creating cybersecurity conferences designed to make a positive impact on the community, sponsoring local events, or donating to people, giving away items, etc.

We spoke with Dave Kennedy, CEO of TrustedSec - he has offered us invaluable resources to aid us in our growth, given us insight into potential ways we can expand (while remaining free, vx-underground will remain free forever).

TrustedSec is also now our largest sponsor.

Thank you Dave Kennedy and friends at TrustedSec for making an impact and doing everything that you do. It is wholeheartedly appreciated it.

It should also be noted that Dave Kennedy asked for nothing in return for sponsoring us - not even a tweet or a logo on vx-underground. He is legitimately just wildin' out and helping nerds for fun

Our account through Donorbox has been suspended citing that they believe we have violated their policy. We have not.

We have used DonorBox for several years now with no issue.

Without their services we will no longer be able to accept donations and survive:(

The big whoopsie has hit.

Earlier this morning nerds began informing us that equity traders were unable to place trades (or clear previous ones) through ICBC (Industrial and Commercial Bank of China).

An emergency notice was sent out stating:

"ICBC is currently unable to connect to DTCC/NSCC. This issue is impacting all of ICBC’s clearing customers, including [censored]. Because of this, [censored] is temporarily suspending all inbound FIX connections and not accepting orders at this time. We are in close touch with ICBC and will advise as soon as the issue is resolved. We are exploring all avenues to clear all 11/8 trades and will provide updates as they become available."

It was speculated that it was ransomware, however it was not confirmed and it was just rumors. If it was a technical issue it is bad. But, now that we know it is ransomware, it is much worse.

Fellow nerd RicardoJoseRF implemented our recent tweets about different 'whoami' methods in C#.NET. We initially wrote them in C++.

It's cool seeing stuff in other languages =D

You're corrupting all of us UK_Daniel_Card & HackingLZ

Correction made: it was $30,000,000 - blockchain nerds believe it is tied to APT Lazarus Group (North Korean government).

Questions we have been asked:

1. Will Boeing pay Lockbit ransomware group? No.

2. Was Lockbit responsible for the ransomware attack against ICBC? Yes

Source: Lockbit ransomware group administrative staff. They also want to explicitly state they are not Russian

Nerds think having Lamborghinis, 'Iced out' watches, and wearing Balenciaga makes them look wealthy.

Wrong.

Real wealth and power is skating on GPUs.
