Hello, it is update Wednesday!

But, we are enjoying a pause on vx-underground stuff for American Thanksgiving break. No updates will be pushed to vx-underground today or Friday.

20 8TB external harddrives.

These will be cloned with 5.22TB of malware and mailed to nerds.

Please pray for any inspector who decides to mount these on a Windows machine to inspect them 🙏

Haha but fo'real though. If you're running Windows please proceed with caution, if Windows Defender or an AV is enabled - your computer will implode like a dying star.

There are more animes than stars in the observable universe and you nerds want to watch all of them

Students,

We are working to secure another educational course giveaway with a different accredited institution. This course will focus primarily on reverse engineering and malware analysis.

More details will be released as we approach Christmas.

Have a nice day.

WE'RE NOT DOING IT YET STOP E-MAILING US

Yes, we are aware there has been some interesting ransomware activity the past couple of days and more internet nerd drama.

We're on vacation, we'll talk about it next week, or something, whatever.

tl;dr ALPHV ransomware group ransoms big financial place, bad mouths Mandiant

Voice Chat underground 😭😭😭

Some nerd on Twitter named Bjorn Staal is programming out of his mind.

11/10. Solid programming skills (designed to demonstrate quantum entanglement)

Unethical Christmas idea:

1. Purchase cheap USB device, populate it with ransomware payloads

2. Wrap with pretty Christmas wrap

3. Leave it outside, wait for porch pirate to steal package

4. ???

5. Happy Holidays!

In all seriousness, this is probably a violation of the United States Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and it will probably irritate the FBI if they discover some nerd is ransoming porch pirates.

Don't do it!

Word on the street is critical infrastructure in Slovenia has been hit by ransomware

Everything on the vx-underground store is 20% off for the remainder of the year using discount code "MALWARE"

*Except the harddrive

We've received probably 1,000+ e-mails for our Red Team Ops I & Red Teams Ops II giveaway - far more than we expected... a mindboggling amount of e-mails..

For our own sanity, we will close entries for the course giveaway December 1st, 2023.

It's a well established fact the *nix command "sudo" derives from Linus Torvalds's highschool crush Susan Doeringadingmanadaluski

Sorry, GNU/Doeringadingmanadaluski
