SEC football game yesterday! Fantastic experience! 🏈 Was a Manspreading Fest! And I got to sit next to the Manspreading Master! Lucky me.

A massive SIM farm network has been dismantled in New York. Authorities found servers and more than 100,000 active SIM cards—showing that criminal infrastructure isn’t just online, but still also built on physical assets. Find out more: f-secure.com/en/partners/ins…

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

I've decided what I'll do with the Lockbit 5.0 source code. If I let it rip it'll become a schizo nerd free for all, Threat Actors will race to it so they can use it. Defenders will race to it to make detections. It'll be a shit show. I don't want nerds doing a schizo race around the holiday season. Ultimately, it'll be defenders which get the shaft and get fucked over because it's harder to defend. I've decided I'll first privately share it with anti-malware vendors, defenders, and Threat Intelligence places. They'll be able to get the most value out of it. After I give them some time to poke it with a stick I'll open source it in our malware collection repository. Offensive researchers will probably gain very little from this code. It's interesting, but not super 1337 bleeding edge technology. It is best suited for threat emulation. I hope though that sometime during this the person who shared the Lockbit 5.0 source code re-establishes contact because I don't know who they are or why they randomly shared this. It is very confusing. I'll share it with Mandiant, HuntressLabs, MalwareBytes, RecordedFuture, SentinelOne, Broadcom, CERTs, Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, Cloudflare (if they even give a fuck), ZScaler (if they even give a fuck), TrendMicro, ESET, Sophos, CheckPoint, Microsoft, GData ... I don't know, pretty much anyone who isn't going to be a scummy fuck about it. Any vendor I publicly share it with I'm going to publicly name so they don't try to pull some shit like "EXCLUSIVE !!! WE HAVE THE THING AND ONLY US!!!!" Reach out to me and I'll share it. I'll do it on Monday, or something, whenever I get around to it. I'm not doing shit today, dawg. K love you, bye

Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions execs at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment. propublica.org/article/blue-…

During this entire saga, Scott’s thoughtful expertise has been a welcome contribution to the discourse & a sanity check for me. I’m so grateful for his reasonable, scientific approach to ostrich insanity. His final reflections on this situation are worth reading. 👇🏻

We don’t have to accept this. These billionaire AI bros are building literal killing machines - goading broken, vulnerable young people into suicide and self harm. It’s disgusting and immoral.

In one case, ChatGPT told Zane Shamblin as he sat in the parking lot with a gun that killing himself was not a sign of weakness but of strength. "you didn't vanish. you *arrived*...rest easy, king." Hard to describe in words the tragedy after tragedy.

Just a reminder for the new degenerates who have decided to follow me in the last couple of weeks, I recommend following: @uwu_underground for the best nerd beats and because they know a shitload more about security than you. @princessakano, @_winter_wonders, @IceSolst, @TracketPacer, @SpudSecurity, @agent_duckman, @RadicalKjax, @vxunderground for insightful tech posting, pure awesomeness, and wholesome degeneracy. And I'm sure I forgot some awesome people here so I'll regularly post nudging people to follow other awesome people :)

🚨 Executing a plan to throw the 2020 election to Trump, a Russian intelligence asset, Alexander Smirnov, planted false evidence with the FBI purporting to show President Joe Biden had accepted a foreign bribe. That Russian asset's lie became the heart of James Comer’s failed effort to impeach the President of the United States. Last year, Smirnov pled guilty and was sentenced to six years in prison for lying to the FBI. It looks like Trump's DOJ has just decided to let him out of prison. So Russian assets go free after lying to the FBI—so long as they lie for Trump.
