500 drones each the size of fire trucks just busted through my living room ceiling

There was a shooter in Wisconsin, United States. The shooter killed 2 people and left 6 injured.

The shooter is getting flamed online. Partially for the shooting, partially because the shooter published his manifesto on a Google doc and forgot to make it public.

Thank you to the person who called us homosexuals from a compromised Italian government e-mail.

We haven't received an e-mail from a compromised government e-mail in a few months.

Today Lockbit ransomware group released a lengthy statement threatening Christopher Wray, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Except... Christopher Wray resigned yesterday.

Announced his resignation***

Resign is misleading, implies effective immediately.

Lockbit ransomware group is advertising Lockbit 4.0.

We requested access to join their platform and, because we can't pay, we are offering them 9 (nine) limited edition cat pictures.

Will this work? Will Lockbit get mad?

> Lockbit ransomware group bought Lockbit4-dot-com through Cloudflare!

Wrong. They advertised the domain but left it available for purchase. Someone bought it. No idea who could have done such a thing.

Word on the street is whoever purchased this domain may cover the website in limited edition kitty cats. This is just rumors and speculation though.

Bernardo Quintero, the founder of VirusTotal, is releasing a book noscriptd: "Infectado: Del Spectrum a Google, el camino de un emprendedor accidental" (in English, Infected - From Spectrum to Google, the path of an accidental entrepreneur)

It's written in Spanish, we're devastated.

Things are starting to add up — why did Lockbit ransomware group issue a threat to Christopher Wray, the current director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation? Why has it taken Lockbit ransomware group so long to release this 'Lockbit 4.0' they keep discussing? Why has it taken them so long to do... almost anything?

In August, 2024 a person named Rostislav Panev was arrested in Israel as he is believed to be a core member of Lockbit ransomware group — the programmer responsible for the development of the Lockbit payload.

Today in Israel it was announced Mr. Panev is deemed extraditable to the United States and his official hearing is schedule on January 5th, 2025 in the Jerusalem District court.

🚨BREAKING 🚨

Lockbit ransomware group has confirmed our suspicions. Hacking is illegal and for nerds!!
