Earlier this morning we broadcasted a message wanting information on the ransomware attack against Katholische Hospitalvereinigung Ostwestfalen (KHO), a healthcare network in Germany. This attack resulted in the shutdown of over 1,800 hospital beds, 23 specialist departments, and over 800 healthcare professionals being unable to work.

We spoke with many professionals in Germany and coordinated a conversation with Lockbit ransomware group administrative staff.

We discovered, and confirmed in more ways than one, this was not an attack performed by Lockbit ransomware group. This was an attack performed by a group of unknown individuals using the leaked Lockbit Black ransomware builder, which was leaked in April, 2023. This is why the KHO healthcare network has not been listed on the Lockbit ransomware group website.

Lockbit ransomware group administration expressed their frustration to us - they were unhappy someone was using their leaked builder and using their branding.

Just found a really cool Tomato garden on Shodan

Shamelessly shitposting and regurgitating memes because its the end of the year and we're on a Kung Fu Panda bender

Rockstar Games 4 horsemen of the apocalypse have arrived.

They have all banded together to actively work on compiling GTA V in hopes of improved mods and porting it elsewhere.

Rockstar Game's lawyers right now

Met someone who told us a nice story

When they were younger, and not tech savvy, their personal computer was hit by ransomware. They thought it was a "computer glitch" and continued to use the computer for another year or so, ransomed wallpaper and all

Hahahahahaha

Would rather be maimed with a hot knife before using "yeet_expr" and "do yeet"

(Yes, it's real)

Partying tonight

Shitposting++;

Crazy night last night at vx-underground HQ. Woke up on the side of the road covered in VBS macros and spam e-mails. Weird.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who sent us New Year greetings. We love you and appreciate it.

"Bring the old site back!"

No, it was an HTML file which grew in excess of 45MB. We manually edited a lot. The new site is fully dynamic. We no longer suffer maintaining the sites organization

Tell us the problems, we will correct them, but we will never go back to static HTML
