Casio has been compromised.

It's all over for Instagram flexers.

Elwood Edwards, the voice of "You've got mail!" from AOL passed away November 5th. He was 74. Sadly, Mr. Edwards was only paid $200 despite being a voice to millions of people across the globe.

In his later years he worked as an Uber driver for extra income.

RIP Elwood.

Over my cold dead body.

Hey Alexa, play "Money In The Bank" by Lil Scrappy.

Just kidding. We don't own an Alexa, or any of that IoT bullshit. God forbid it's compromised and some TA dumps 500 terabutts of peoples conversations in .mp3 format

Registering on a website and trying to calculate the probability of it being compromised (use a burner e-mail or the real e-mail)

tl;dr 1st lesson of cybersecurity, verify your identity to bishopfox without detonating malware on your machine (we failed)

A Russian ransomware affiliate we know sent us this video.

Very cool.

Thank you for educating us on your culture. 🙏

Someone sent us an e-mail saying they have some malware samples they can send us.

We eagerly replied and thanked them.

They replied saying the samples "are for sale" and asked how much we'd pay for them.

The current street value of malwares (decent quality) is $1,200 for 7,500,000 malwares.

A curated set of high quality malwares is roughly 15,000 malwares for $3,000.

It's hard to get high quality samples unless you're an AV and/or EDR vendor.
