I had hoped he'd get bored after the like, 6 hour marker, I had lots of people complaining. I just messaged him directly and he said he'd stop.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A young person encountered a vx-underground imposter on Discord who was trying to convince them to meet-up in person. They contacted us to confirm whether or not this was true.

This is a reminder vx-underground will never try to meet you in person. We don't go outside.

tl;dr some dude pretending to be a staff member was trying to pick up a chick. we dont go outside, we dont meet people, were scared of grass and sunlight

What the hell is someone going to say to pick up chicks while impersonating someone from our group?

"hai bb, you wanna hookup with a chronically online, morally ambiguous, mid-30s man with a benzodiazepine dependency and who is also (probably) on multi watchlists?"

We've never seen such a colossal oopsie 2 times in a row in a 12 hour stretch. They're probably scaring these people to death — getting notified at 4am they need to pack their stuff and go 😭

THEY DID IT A THIRD TIME.

We didn't think it was possible to do an oopsie doopsie 3 times! This is absolute madness. Someone get California on the horn and tell them to wake up

Holy smokes

What's interesting though is this time it wasn't sent to the entire LA County. It was sent to the wrong areas on Los Angeles, with the wrong message

tldr people in Long Beach received notifications for people near Eaton Fire which said it was for entirety of LA

???

40 minutes ago Los Angeles county officials stated on television they're working with partners to stop the false and/or incorrect evacuation warnings people are receiving WHICH ARE NOT happening from human interaction (???)

They're currently investigating how this is happening

We don't want to get all crazy-whacko-conspiracy-theory, but this sure would be a great time for an adversary of the United States to cause chaos and/or spread misinformation.

This image is a perfectly analogy for most enterprise compromises — a "sophisticated attacker" was NOT a state-sponsored Threat Actor. It was just a fat cat.

Thank you, Vietnamese government representative, for the lovely e-mail.

hacking is illegal and for nerds

Hello,

This is a reminder that if you're a politician representing your country in the UN — you should avoid information stealer malware.

You should also avoid soliciting sex with male prostitutes on social media in private DMs.

Thank you, California government employee, for the cool e-mail and cool pictures
