Hello, how are you?

Today is the day of rest. We hope all of you have had a good week and a good weekend thus far.

Next week we will be updating the archives, adding more papers, and adding more samples.

We'll see you Monday.

Love you ♥️

Today was not a good day for the day of the rest.

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

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.

Shout out to Telegram for advertising an infostealer on our Telegram channel. That is cool and badass

(we don't make any money from the advertisements placed on our Telegram page)

Who the hell do you think we are, Telegram? Now people are seeing an 'OG' username advertisement 😭

May 31st the United States Marine corp released information on a new program to improve Cyber Security Specialist and Signals Intelligence enlistments.

The Marine corp can now enroll someone up to an E-7 rank, with the highest being E-9, based on education and experience.

Interested participants must still pass basic training and meet standard fitness requirements.

The pay for an E-7 rank is $43,500 annually.

Alternatively, individuals with backgrounds in cyber security can apply for jobs in the private sector and make $150,000 - $750,000 based on education and experience, while also being able to work remotely, not wear a uniform, not have to do basic training, and not be stationed on a base.

no such thing as a bad program, just a bad author
