"most your malware collection is hash busted and polymorphic junk, why do you keep it?"

Shoutout to all the friends and colleagues in Brazil. It sucks Twitter is blocking Brazil. We love you all and welcome you to our Telegram area. Telegram is cool and badass.

Ignore the advertisements from Threat Actors on the channel (they advertise here a lot)

Good morning from Ameriburger.

Unrelated to this phishing e-mail — we're still receiving e-mails from compromised government e-mails saying things like "smelly is stinky". It's been months since we publicly meme'd about that and it's still going on 😭

In August we ingested over 1,000,000 malware samples. September our estimated malware ingestion figures will be closer to 18,000,000 samples.

By December we will likely pass 100,000,000 malware samples — making us the largest free public malware repo by a significant margin

We will gladly assist in distributing this large malware collection to reseachers, universities, and (sigh..) cybersecurity companies.

We rely on your donations to survive. We'll go back to shitposting soon.

Cheers,

Skip this post if you don't feel like getting irritated and/or frustrated and/or angry.

July 18th, 2024 Columbus, Ohio was a victim of Rhysida ransomware group — a group believed to be related to the now 'forked' and defunct Conti ransomware group.

August 8th, 2024 Rhysida ransomware group began slowly releasing the 6TB of exfiltrated Columbus, Ohio government data onto their Tor domain. As time progressed, it was evident the city of Columbus, Ohio were unlikely to pay the $1,600,000 Rhysida ransomware group wanted.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther stated to local media outlets that Rhysida has unsuccessfully exfiltrated data and they successfully stopped the attack. Subsequently, a cybersecurity researcher operating under the moniker 'Connor Goodwolf', refuted the mayors statements — essentially acting as a whistleblower.

Connor Goodwolf spoke with Columbus, Ohio media outlets regarding the Rhysida ransomware group attack, proving Rhysida has not only successfully compromised the local government, but also exfiltrated sensitive information on residents of Columbus, Ohio. This information included social security numbers of police officers, people who are victims of domestic violence, etc.

Mayor Andrew Ginther decided to have the City of Columbus, Ohio sue Connor Goodwolf. Additionally, the city is seeking a restraining order against Goodwolf, making it a crime to disclose more information on the Rhysida breach, and requesting a permanent injunction against Connor Goodwolf. The lawsuit against Connor Goodwolf states Mr. Goodwolf places the community in danger stating he is spreading stolen data which is illegal. The lawsuit continues to say 'nobody' had access to the exfiltrated Rhysida ransomware group data because it was published in a manner where access was difficult to achieve.

tl;dr columbis ohio city attorney Zach Klein and mayor Andrew Ginther are idiots, so stupid its embarassing and painful to even read about

Compressing 1m malware samples 🙏

Xitter is now banned in Brazil due to X refusing to take action on content which Brazil deemed illegal.

Following the ban, Justice Alexandre de Moraes imposed a fine of R$50,000 (Approx. $9,000) per day for any person accessing Xitter illegally (such as using a VPN).

We've changed our mind.

We will no longer be keeping all the malware junk we ingest. We will trim the fat and keep only quality malware. Instead of 18,000,000 samples a month, we'll likely bring in approx. 3,000,000 a month.

This breaks our hearts, but it's too much junk :(

History has taught us time and time again it is often a very poor decision to piss off nerds.

When will governments learn they're angering the very people they rely on to make their technologies work?

We're going back to bed. Nobody do anything crazy while we're gone.

Hello to the person who decided to name themselves 'gay4smellyvx' on Call of Duty.

Thank you for the meme submission, foilmanhacks
