United States media outlets are saying Donald Trump intends on, honest to God, pardoning Ross Ulbricht. Initially Trump said he'd do it on day 1 — he didn't. Representatives say he still intends on pardoning him

There's a real world chance Ross Ulbricht could discover brain rot

Imagine Ross Ulbricht is freed, discovers TikTok, brain rot, and Discord, and requests to be put back in prison

Conor Fitzpatrick a/k/a Pompompurin, the ex-administrator to Breach forums, violated his parole agreements almost immediately after his plea deal.

He now faces in excess of 20 years in prison. His next court date in is February.

He had quite literally the easiest sentencing ever. He was charged for possession of child pornography, dozens of wire fraud charges, aggravated identity theft, etc.

All he had to do was get a job or education, go to therapy, agree to electronic supervision, and not do crime

Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the infamous Silk Road, has been pardoned by Donald Trump.

We broke the site by testing in prod. We'll fix it tomorrow.

Quality assurance is for cowards

Hello,

We've received a couple of e-mails lately regarding vx-intelligence on Telegram. We are not vx-intelligence. No idea who that is.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ross Ulbricht, congratulations on your Presidential Pardon.

We are praying for you.

We ask God for your loved ones to not expose you to TikTok, AI, or Fortnite. You've been gone too long — your brain won't be able to handle it.

Amen.

P.S. Your BTC stash (which according to court documents has been seized, but is speculated you still have hidden somewhere) is worth several billion dollars. Please give us like, $100, or something, for a pizza party.

Thanks,

Hello,

We fixed it in prod (we're not cowards)

Thanks,

Experimenting with a (maybe new?) string obfuscation technique that uses C floating-point numbers fractionals.

The idea is you'd create a dynamically allocated array of FLOATs. Each ordinal in the array would store 2 ASCII encoded characters in the FLOATs fractional.

As an example, to store the string "LOCALAPPDATA" you'd allocate a FLOAT array. The data would look like:

0.76007900 (L, O)
1.67006500 (C, A)
2.76006500 (L, A)
4.80008000 (P, P)
5.68006500 (D, A)
6.84006500 (T, A)
7.00000000 (NULL)

tl;dr unnecessarily convoluted crap

We'll see some cool proof-of-concept, or someone happy to share something they learned (even if it's well known by others), and the comments we see people leave are so rude.

Like, damn bro, just fuckin' be happy for someone that they're learning, or growing, and sharing ideas

Even if it is a well-known idea, or the code is rewritten in a different programming language — whatever happened to just coding for fun?

Updates to vx-underground (too many to list on Telegram)

Once someone gets into malware they transform into 1 of these 4 types.

Hello,

We have another mistake in our code. QA is for cowards. We'll fix it soon.

Thanks,
