Abusing Microsoft Copilot: Copilot, copilot my payload

*please read limitations notes on the page. It's important you read that.

tl;dr inconsistent, needs more research, potential avenue to explore

Discussions online today of 17,500,000 people involved in an "Instagram" leak.

This is a clarification from a previous post I made, which I've subsequently deleted, to avoid confusion and add more details.

Normally these sort of "leaks" are a result of API scraping. This has happened in the past with LinkedIn and Trello. Basically someone writes a program that communicates with Instagram and requests information on a user profile. They then loop this through as many Instagram profiles as possible.

New information has come forward, as people have provided me with feedback, suggesting this is a combination of API scraping, a giant list of known stolen Instagram accounts, blah blah blah, and content from a previous leak.

Others have speculated this is someone who is doing mass password resets to try to correlate phone numbers and emails with accounts.

Basically, nobody knows. We can only make educated guesses. Regardless, Instagram wasn't "hacked" or compromised.

These sort of "leaks" resurface and reappear every couple of months, sometimes years, and is basically just a database for scammers and extortionists to do lookups or try to do phishing campaigns.

Hi

vxdb (on Twitter, no idea if he's on Telegram), initially unrelated to vx-underground, will now be a vx-underground staffer. He isn't a malware nerd, but he is terminally online, a degenerate, and continues to help me with stuff (which I deeply appreciate).

He'll be doing some administrative work for me. It is becoming increasingly difficult to do stuff while managing full time employment, a baby boy, and a vx-underground. He won't have access to this account, or vx-underground infrastructure, but he'll be handling other stuff (read below)

In summary, one of the first things we'll be doing is making a social media profile exclusive to g1v3aw4ys. This will eliminate the g1v3aw4y spam from this profile. I have yet to finish the g1v3aw4ys from 2025. Oops.

Thanks to TorGuard, and our monthly sponsors, I am hoping to do more g1v3aw4ys on the other profile throughout 2026. Maybe like, books, or something, I don't know. It won't be big stuff. But ideally like, $200/month of free stuff. Then, during the end of the year, the account does big stuff.

ok ily ttyl bye

I haven't finished g1v3aw4ys because instead of dealing with hundreds of people I've been doing malware stuff, spending time with my baby boy (he's angry, his top teeth are coming out, he WILL bite you), and posting silly pictures of cats.

Sorry.

Lots of negativity on social media the past few days.

Will continually post silly cat pictures until morale improves

A sort of small, sort of long, observation or note, or something.

tldr nerds mad, touch grass

The internet (and humans in general, I suppose) love negativity and drama. There becomes a point though where negativity goes beyond spectacle and entertainment and it bleeds over into public anger and mass hysterics.

While I don't traditionally make political commentary (or try to rather, I'm human, make mistakes, or accidentally present bias), and stray away from political banter, my curated and compartmentalized information security feed has transformed into some pretty nasty dialogue regarding the recent United States governments actions both domestic and abroad. While some of my peers engage in political banter, an upward trend being observed, whereas even the "non-political" begin discussing things, is paramount and is an indicator that a profound event has occured.

This typically results in me saying "huh?" and acting like the cat in the attached image below.

Outside of this bubble I've made, it is chaotic (I'm sure you're well aware of what I'm addressing at this moment). Historically, it is unusual for this degree of anger and frustration to bleed into my bubble, previous and noteworthy "bleeds" include Mr. Rittenhouse, the death George Floyd, Ukraine-Russia conflict (beginning), Palestine-Israel conflicts (elevated, major event occuring), the COVID19 pandemic, January 6th, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, ... and now the recent events occuring.

I think being exposed to this polarization for too long is unhealthy, it makes people angrier, and deepens a divide. It's important to remember that political commentators profit off of outrage, it boosts their engagement and advertisement revenue, thus want to continually stoke the fire and ensure you're perpetually agitated.

I unironically recommend my colleagues and peers to touch grass. Disconnecting and disengaging with the internet hate machine puts things into perspective. Hug your children, pet a kitty cat, eat some junk food, go for a walk, ... do something other than being angry on the internet. There is a difference between being informed and being drawn into the political "event horizon".

Okay, back to kitty cat posting until morale improves and also nerd stuff.

I unironically perceive myself and you nerds as like, a bunch of old ass monks or priests or something, up on like High Hrothgar.

Shits gotta get wild down there with the normies if we can hear it

Hi

I've added more malware and malware accessories to the website you sometimes visit.

Person on YouTube uploads a video that is 114,115 years long (1,000,000,000 hours).

The video is (probably) a One Piece anime review.

I was requested to poke stuff with a stick because of stuff happening in r/PiratedGames

tl;dr xmrig. lame.

Watched police body cam footage of a guy who robbed a bank. He went in with a gun, a slid a piece of paper telling the bank teller to give him all the money.

He received over $1,000 in cash. He was caught moments later. He is in jail and is facing over 20 years in prison.

The ex-mayor of New York pushed a "NYC Token" cryptocurrency and rug pulled over $3,000,000. He doubled his net worth in just a few days.

Nothing will happen to him.

Today I experienced something I had never imagined myself experiencing.

My 9 month old makes a big mess while eating. He is still learning coordination to self-feed. He's improving. I'm proud of him.

Today he made a gigantic mess while trying Jello for the first time. He decided to put it in his hair and also his pants. We're still not sure how he got the Jello so far down his pants ... but he did.

We had to wash him. He was sticky and stinky.

Because he's getting bigger he gets the "big boy tub". In essence, my wife or get in the bathtub with him and bathe him. We set him in the tub and we both wash him. The parent in the tub with him holds him, rotates him around to get the hard to wash spots, or keeps him distracted by playing with him. He loves splashing the water.

Anyway, today when I was holding him he took a massive shit in the tub. I'll spare you the details. I wasn't angry, ... but being a first time parent has been a unique experience none of the books or classes prepared us for.

That's all. I just wanted to share that with someone.

Today Spaniard authorities seized 10 tonnes (metric tons, 22,000lbs, 10,000kg) of cocaine being smuggled into the country from Brazil.

The cocaine is reportedly valued at enough to purchase 3 DDR5 RAM sticks and maybe a few Claude tokens

Lots of drama on the internet today as TESLA announces the self-driving functionality will now require you paying a monthly subscription.

Tesla lovers are absolutely furious.

Tesla stock owners are dancing in the streets

I need help.

My 9 month old son loves Ms. Rachel. For the past 3 days I've been subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. I'm trapped. I'm stuck listening to this lady sing "Wheels On The Bus" for, at minimum, 8 hours a day.

My home is a CIA torture black site. "thE wHeElS oN the BuS gO rOunD n RouNd" ... in the morning... in the afternoon... at night ... when he's trying to sleep or he's sleeping.

I'm at the point where I'll start confessing to crimes I've never committed to make this fucking song stop playing.

Imagine hearing this shit ALL DAY. I'm losing my mind. I've disconnected from reality. I don't know what's real and what isn't real.
