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

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

> more ransomware attacks against critical infra
> more problems found in microsoft recall
> more malware campaign findings shared
> more company databases leak
> more twitter dm spam

Security Researcher Alexander Hagenah has developed a proof-of-concept which programmatically extracts data out of Microsoft Recall

Microsoft said it would be safe, but as is tradition, it was beaten with a stick before it was even fully deployed

https://github.com/xaitax/TotalRecall

Security Researcher James Forshaw discovered Microsoft Recall uses a 'conditional access trick' he himself noted recently.

You can bypass Recall access restrictions by getting a token on AIXHost.exe and then impersonating it.

vx-underground harddrive purchasers: we have received 10 harddrives for cloning. However, Western Digital has some how lost the other 10 (???)

Today on 4chan someone leaked the source code (?) to the New York Times. They leaked 270GB of data

They wrote that the New York Times has 5,000+ source code repositories, with less than 30 being encrypted (?). It is 3,600,000 files in total

Note: We haven't reviewed the data

This is the 2nd time this week proprietary information has been leaked onto 4chan. A few days Club Penguin files were stolen from Disney's internal network and leaked onto 4chan.
