We have many people asking us how to begin their journey into malware development. Here is a step by step guide to get started!

1. Stop asking how to get started
2. Learn to code (NOT PYTHON)
3. Do something
4. Expect failure

Have a nice day.

Hello. We hope everyone has had a good weekend thus far.

We have interviewed the administrator, or founding member, of Lockbit ransomware group.

Have a nice day.

You can read the interview here: https://papers.vx-underground.org/papers/Other/Interviews/LB0-10-30.html

We have submitted 1,848,218 malware samples to Recorded Future's Triage.

It took approx. 9 months for ~2,000,000 samples to run through their automated sandbox. We have 34,000,000+ left.

2034 is going to be a good year!

Tomorrow we release Black Mass

Earlier today Instagram pushed bad code to prod. Thousands of users accounts are inaccurately stating their account is suspended.

From our headquarters underneath the Vatican, happy Halloween!

Mark Sokolovsky, a Ukrainian and the alleged author of Raccoon Stealer, was arrested in the Netherlands in March, 2022 with the accidental help of his girlfriend

They fled Ukraine together. She documented everything on Instagram

She posted this photo 2 days prior to his arrest

tl;dr if you're an internationally wanted cyber criminal, avoiding a mandatory draft, and illegally immigrating into NATO territory, do not document everything on social media.

100% of malware on Windows contains code. We could solve the malware problem tonight if Microsoft simply removed code from Windows
