This Christmas Eve we're relaxing at HQ, enjoying the Christmas classics, and drinking hot chocolate (and also cat).

A true blessing.

Song: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

This is relevant to us because one of the bunnies is actually a malware researcher

Every single one of you is invited to our Christmas feast.

We only have 1 turkey.

It'll be difficult to split it between all 380,000 of you. We also don't have enough cups, plates, or silverware.

We also don't know where you're all going to sit... But you're invited!

Xitter doesn't pay 'content creators' well. Next time you accuse someone of baiting for engagement (or monetary reward) — look at this chart we've attached.

During our Christmas gifting session Xitter paid us $162.25. This gifting spree had an engagement rate exceeding 6%, over 5,000,000 views in total, our profile stats jumped 400%.

Our largest paycheck ever was from memeing Crowdstike during their level 9000 shitstorm driver implosion. It was $367.39.

You would need x10 our following and/or engagement to make $3,000/month. In other words, you'd need roughly 3,000,000 followers with an engagement rate of 5% — 150,000 likes and/or comments PER POST with a majority being subscribed to Xitter Blue.

Alternatively, as we've been told, a good way to ensure a Xitter paycheck, while having a low follower count and/or engagement rate — is to be a conventionally attractive Asian woman and have Elon Musk follow you on Xitter.

Today 404mediaco released an article on Anthaney O’Connor. Mr. O’Connor reported someone to law enforcement for possessing CSAM.

However, while law enforcement was conducting their investigation, they discovered Mr. O’Connor also possessed CSAM. Additionally, he was actively developing a virtual reality video game to perform sexual acts with children. The video game had both real and AI generated pornographic images of children in it. Mr. O’Connor intended to sell and distribute this video game for $200.

It wouldn't be a Christmas unless a company did something horrifically stupid.

This year concludes with Activision. Activision decided to release some promotional artwork which was created using Artificial Intelligence.

tl;dr massive game studio doesn't use their artists

AI artwork was really cool and impressive for about 3 weeks. Then it was immediately abused by low-lifes and cheap bastards to cut corners and make money.

Now AI artwork looks like a big stinky pile of shit drizzled in corporate greed

Sometime in 2020 a guy named "Shikata" recommended we make the vx-underground slogan be: "spread the infection."

It was such a god awful, abomination of a slogan, I never forgot about it. It's been almost 5 years.

This sweater is super cool.

If we were younger, more attractive, had a sense of fashion, and capable of dressing ourselves — we'd purchase this.

Poopy posting nonstop until the new year

Black Mass Volume III is coming soon. We aim to continue our malware book dominance on Amazon

Cyberhaven, a thing we've never heard about before until about 2 minutes ago, that does something with cybersecurity and lists it's biggest customers on it's website, was compromised. It resulted in a web-browser-based supply chain attack.
