The most entertaining federal criminal charges I have ever read www.courtlistener.com/docket/71145...

My BSidesLV keynote is here. It touches on several difficult topics in our industry. Topics best discussed in person. As our industry spends this week in Vegas, please share this talk with your peers and discuss in person. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CD9...

whacked an immovable object with an irresistible force today just to see what would happen

Today I learned that the feds made a tierlist of prison sentences and that kiberphant0m is D-tier www.ussc.gov/sites/defaul...

Crazy that governments impose website age restrictions on their citizens before they provide Internet compatible government ID for their citizens, and everyone's stuck providing selfies that get hacked and recycled for fraud.

Unit 221B thanked by DOJ in 1st guilty plea of the Snowflake hacker gang. Last year they threatened me for no reason, so we broke their opsec. The Army member, "Cameron Wagenius", leaked Trump call logs from AT&T and faces 27 years. He was easy to find. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/forme...

Just put them in jail

Welcome to the USA. Enjoy your stay.

They put the "AI Mode" button in that exact spot in the hopes you accidentally click it and inflate some executive's usage report.

Recent press highlights from SLEUTHCON: Covering Allison Nixon's talk on "The Com": cyberscoop.com/the-com-subc... Highlights from Thibault Seret's talk: www.wired.com/story/cyberc... #Cybercrime #Cybercriminals #cybersecurity #SLEUTHCON

The Com’s chaotic, sprawling network, composed of mostly teenagers and young adults, are committing their crimes primarily for notoriety amongst their peers on the internet, @nixonnixoff.bsky.social said during a presentation @sleuthcon.bsky.social. cyberscoop.com/the-com-subc...

"Dude are you ok?" "I don't think he is..."

Maxar collected images of Russian aircraft feeling nervous

Woooo Sleuthcon!!!

Nothing's computer! insideevs.com/news/757681/...

There's a 2021 stealer log for a telemessage employee's hootsuite login. Other websites in the same stealer log (looks like websites the same machine visited) include readcomiconline[.]to and kissanime[.]ru. For national security reasons, Anime was a mistake

Politicians pushing around infosec people opens the door to companies that make insecure shit doing same. And then they wonder why China has all our secrets. No gov is going to tell us what to do, not the last one, not this one, not the next one if there's a next one www.eff.org/press/releas...

this thread is really funny

Does anyone remember this from the 90's? Can someone bring back this delivery style, but instead use it for cease & desists?

Bad AAPL

Do we need a new NSA Director now? I hope they accidentally invite a journalist it would be so funny

I have been a fan of the "Stupid Hackathon" for years and it is honest to god better than CES futurism.com/vape-tamagot...

Journalists should change their name on Signal to "Note to Self" and see what happens

SCIF = Signal Chat Is Fun

new policy for classified signal groupchats

The Snowflake hacker that was threatening researchers just consented to extradition. I don't know why he would consent, given that his group extorted and leaked the most vengeful President in American history (and worse, threatened me), but it's a win! cyberscoop.com/connor-mouck...

Advanced persistent friends

A 21-year-old U.S. Army soldier linked to last year's Snowflake attack spree allegedly tried to sell stolen data to a foreign intelligence service after searching for information about how to defect to Russia. Hat tip to @nixonnixoff.bsky.social @austinlarsen.me cyberscoop.com/army-soldier...

The no-opsec Army guy who was part of the group that leaked Trump's call logs (and worse, threatened me) google searched how to defect to Russia and "can hacking be treason" 💀💀💀💀 He was never going to get away.

Today I've discovered an animal called "Skeleton panda sea squirt" exists. A sessile, filter feeding tunicat.

📄 New Intelligence Notification calls attention to violent online communities threatening children. The document focuses on the rise of online grooming cult groups dedicated to extremely violent child abuse. Read more in our press release ⬇️ www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/...

The SEC Twitter account hacker was a cybersecurity major in college, and also wants to let people know that the hack was actually his victims' fault. x.com/vxundergroun...

Not like I understand why this information is classified, but this made me curious to check out doge[.]gov and look for the NRO. It has very few people with long tenure, so a hostile gov wouldn't need to headshot that many to destroy NRO if they wanted to. Oh I guess that's why its classified

KUSK is a super aggressive law firm and there is a rare job opening. I got to work with them on some cases that involved bringing civil lawsuit pain to people who act like criminals. It was a highlight of my career. Anyone who gets to work with these people is incredibly lucky.

🚨 Operation Talent 🚨

@bschorr.bsky.social Thanks for taking the past few days like a champ because you probably saved your company a ridiculous amount of money by listening to your users. They better give you a raise

Holy shit @kathryntewson.bsky.social got the Microsoft AI people to actually listen and realize the ideas they're shoving on everyone are stupid and makes Word unsafe for work. Wild that MSFT views this as a mistake. I thought they didn't care! www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9X6...

Some good news today. A court agreed with gov appeal that the sentence for pompompurin (cybercrime and CSAM charges) was too lenient. Recidivism was a factor and court says autism, or being too soft and white for prison, isn't an excuse. I haven't seen a court address the subject in this way before.

I have discovered that Chinese social media imposes a pet tax on its users. American social media needs to respond with pet tariffs.

NCMEC doesnt care about child labor and thats weird. Its exploitation.

google docs sucks now

The real cybersecurity threats from china have always been the ones that didnt ask your permission.

This is what happens when cybersecurity is politicized. Actual practitioners should continue to focus on the real threats coming from china, like theft from american companies, and not fake threats conjured by rich people who see an opportunity to steal www.darkreading.com/threat-intel...
