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

Furthermore, as demonstrated in the image used by the news station, user xdolence tried using the ls command on Windows 😭

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

Wrong.

Real wealth and power is skating on GPUs.

Malware is like an old can of peas.

It's been on the shelf for 20 years and it's still good

Company executives when they're asked if they've been compromised

Hello, how are you?

Due to increased sponsorships, donors, and nerds purchasing merchandise we are now increasing the volume of malware samples for nerds to reverse engineer, or build rules for, or something.

Have a nice day. Enjoy the rest of your weekend:)

Important updates:

1. We are establishing a 'schedule' to add some structure to our workflow (for the first time in 4+ years). Wednesday and Friday will be when updates are pushed to the website e.g. malware papers, archives, malware samples, etc. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday will be dedicated to us aggregating content, posting nonsense, etc. Saturdays and Sundays we may or may not work, it depends entirely on our mood and what's happening.

2. Due to increased sponsorships, monthly donors, and people purchasing merchandise, we have successfully increased the volume of samples we are uploading to the VXDB. We are now aiming to upload 200,000+ malware samples a month.

3. We are still working on enhancing the website, making it scrapable, and allowing nerds to do mass downloads from the VXDB.

4. We are working on some limited edition merchandise for the holiday season for vx-underground. Additionally, all merchandise will be disconnected throughout the entire month of December.

5. We're going to be doing more giveaways this month. If you have a suggestion, let us know.

Have a nice day (night?). See you all tomorrow:)

tl;dr schedule for adding stuff, more malware samples, still working on website, holiday merch and holiday sales, more giveaways

We are doing another series of book giveaways on Twitter.
