My malware generated & cyberpunk themed album 'VX' is now live & the first 200 downloads are free. I hope you all enjoy, it has been quite a ride making this album. Huge shout out to @vxunderground whose massive malware collection was a huge part of this.

Truly humbled to share I had the honor of being a guest on the legendary @DarknetDiaries. We talked about some wild stories, the epic screw ups, and others adventures. Really grateful for the chance to tell a few tales and hope it resonates with some.

I like to imagine that there is a guy at the Pentagon who’s whole job is creating cool mission names, but they don’t tell him the full mission scope, so he just picks two words that sound cool.

Terror cells utilizing video game platforms for communication is hardly new. Cells at one point utilized Xbox Live chat to a point where analysts were called in to help identify their abuse and this also happened on various blizzard games for planning activities or signaling.

I really want to emphasize just how bad ass @birchb0y Stuart and Jonathan were at tearing this apart and performing this analysis . Truly some of the most amazing crew I've had the honor of working with.

All these accounts out here talking big jokes about the bringing back VB6 experience and UI. Meanwhile I actually was the VB6 malware guy in the 90s and early 2k.

I haven't talked much about Smite this year because I've been really focused on my personal life. However I think both, us as a community AND HiRez should use this as a great opportunity to wipe the slate clean of each other and reset. I still ❣️Smite with my whole soul

Yet another day where some 15+ year old font display bug ensures we still have jobs despite millions of dollars in cybersecurity tech.

Hahahahhahahaha . Unironically a good idea. It's so unbelievably stupid and it works. Depending on explorer layout, the .exe might not be visible. Filename.mp4 + ??? spaces + .exe. Hahahahahaha UNC6032 is wild as hell

If you're fundamentally against AI and are especially against AI models learning on conversations, images, voices, and behaviors then why are you still using Discord and Twitter?
