April 8th, 2024, a Threat Actor operating under the moniker "USDoD" placed a large database up for sale on Breached noscriptd: "National Public Data". They claimed it contained 2,900,000,000 records on United States citizens. They put the data up for sale for $3,500,000.

National Public Data is a background check and person lookup and verification company located in Coral Springs, Florida. The company offers API data lookups to other companies. In summary – they're a lowkey databroker.

Last week we were informed USDoD intends on leaking the database. We requested a copy in advance to confirm the validity of the data.

We reviewed the massive file – 277.1GB uncompressed, and can confirm the data present in it is real and accurate. We searched up several individuals who consented to having their information looked up.

1. The database DOES NOT contain information from individuals who use data opt-out services. Every person who used some sort of data opt-out service was not present.

2. People who did not use data opt-out services and resided in the United States were immediately found. It showed their:

- First name
- Last name
- Address
- Address history (3 decades+)
- Social security number

It also allowed us to find their parents, and nearest siblings. We were able to identify someones parents, deceased relatives, Uncles, Aunts, and Cousins. Additionally, we can confirm this database also contains information on individuals who are deceased. Some individuals located had been deceased for nearly 2 decades.

Correction: USDoD was a broker and/or middleman for the initial posting. We were instructed to explicitly state that credit for the compromise is to be given to an individual operating under the moniker "SXUL".

Today Snowflake, a digital storage provider who was recently surrounded in controversy from the TicketMaster breach, put out a joint statement with both Mandiant and Crowdstrike.

tl;dr Snowflake was not breached

Mandiant and Crowdstrike are both heavy-hitters in the DFIR industry and have worked the largest network compromises on the planet – from ransomware incidents to state sponsored threat actors. So, we applaud Snowflake for hiring not one but two DFIR consulting firms. That is a pretty penny spent and it appears Snowflake took the rumors and speculation very serious. That is cool and badass.

Per the report – although Snowflake was not breached, customers of Snowflake have been a 'trending' target, and some customers failed to follow the recommended best security practices written by Snowflake.

Snowflake, in conjunction with Mandiant and Crowdstrike, identified various customers who may have also been targeted and have notified the customers.

People who understand the meme

vx-uwu is back

We do vx-uwu every so often because a few years ago a joke surfaced of a vx-underground member saying "I'm gay". It bothered some people, for whatever reason, so we decided it would be funny to roll with it – be extra gay, cute, anime-uwu, etc, to antagonize them.

tl;dr uwu

Game reverse engineers and cheaters hate this 1 simple trick (impossible to bypass)

Today on 4chan someone leaked internal documents from Club Penguin.

It is 137 documents which include product planning, proof-of-concepts, internal e-mails, and some documents on other projects such as Tron.

All of the material appears dated, it is probably valuable to lost media nerds.

tl;dr don't read TikTok dms ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Today is was announced an unknown Threat Actor(s) had discovered an exploit in TikTok which allows users to hijack accounts.

Details are scarce – however it has been noted that the payload (as it is being described) is delivered through TikTok direct messages. The payload is executed when the direct message is read. However, it does not require any external files be executed, the user does not need to respond to the message, etc.

No details have been unveiled on whether or not this is platform specific (i.e. Android or iOS).

The unknown Threat Actor(s) have compromised Paris Hilton, CNN, and Sony. It is claimed other high-profile and/or celebrity accounts have been compromised, but no other 'high-profile' accounts have been disclosed other than the ones previously noted. The TikTok security team is aware of the issue and has confirmed the legitimacy of the exploit with Forbes.

TikTok representatives stated to Forbes that a small number of users were compromised. No exact numbers were given. TikTok representatives have not stated if the exploit is still valid, how users can protect themselves, or what the attackers have done with the compromised accounts.
