Today Kaspersky issued a goodbye letter to it's American customers.

We are going to miss Kaspersky.

Kaspersky was always a solid AV product and the research they conducted was always excellent.

Throwback to when some nerd found a tomato garden on Shodan

Today it was reported by AT&T (via email to customers) that an individual involved in the recent AT&T data breach has been arrested.

The only thing keeping vx-underground HQ from metaphorically burning to the ground is grotesque quantities of alprazolam

Wikipedia has introduced dark mode into their website.

After nearly two weeks of radio silence from Lockbit ransomware group they've returned with a Telegram account, a Briar account, a Signal account, and an XMPP account

They also immediately threw shade at RansomHub by accusing them of being a rebrand of ALPHV.

The real Lockbit ransomware group Telegram channel and their first fancy little message. Interesting times we live in, seeing them pivot to Telegram.

We see some nerds getting super hostile to women in tech — especially if they're conventionally attractive and/or have a high number of followers on social media

If you're feeling upset: scream at your Mom, heat up some pizza rolls, and put on some anime

It's going to be okay.

This post is going to be controversial. But we believe it is necessary. Threat Intelligence nerds, Blue Team nerds, and Law Enforcement nerds following us on sock accounts – don't have a conniption.

Dear Threat Actor(s) who contact us,

We advise you do NOT use the leaked Babuk builder and source code. Babuk is notorious for failing to decrypt files (especially large files), and corrupting data. If you (or your group) decide to do ransomware ... for the sake of literally everybody involved (you and/or your group, the victim, Threat Intelligence, Digital Forensic & Incident Response firms, Law Enforcement, etc) DO NOT USE BABUK. Don't go anywhere near Babuk. If someone recommends Babuk, slap them around with a large trout.

Thanks,

Blah blah blah, helping criminals, blah blah blah. But seriously, Babuk causes EVERYONE problems. It is a colossal piece of shit.

1. Everyone discusses politics. This is a shitpost, malware, and chill zone.

2. We are (mostly) United States based and the current political landscape closely resembles a SouthPark skit

Example:

Today CrowdStrike pushed out a botched update.

It has resulted in outages in Banks, Airlines, Emergency hotlines, ???

It's 6am on a Friday and CrowdStrike cooked the internet

As we continue to do our daily news check up, we can confirm that CrowdStrike has performed a colossal oopsie and has done catastrophic damage.

We have never witnessed an oopsie of this magnitude

CrowdStrike has performed the largest ransomware attack in history.

Accidentally.
