Today the largest Anonymous social media profile issued a heavily-charged political message regarding recent changes in the United States political ecosystem.

In summary, they assert rapid changes in technology systems, due to actions performed by Elon Musk (or rather the Department of Government Efficiency), has left massive vulnerabilities which can be exploited (and they intend to exploit?).

This has resulted in a lot of attention from non-techies to their social media profiles.

Thoughts:
- Previously Anonymous has promised to perform similar actions, none came to fruition
- Government institutions have been compromised in the past which resulted in very little. Conti, Lockbit, ALPHV (RansomHub), various state-sponsored groups — compromised the United States government (although to various degrees). This includes when the Iran government compromised Trump's campaign via social engineering. It wasn't the end of the world.
- You don't need to exploit anything, just follow Scattered Spider's TTP. Pay some guy $15 to call them and ask for a password reset. Or check stealer logs.
- If in the event a government institution is compromised, what do you intend to do? Deploy ransomware (partially sarcastic)? 99% of United States citizen's PII have been dumped anyway from places like Breached or from previous ransomware attacks.
- Where was this call-to-action speech when other countries had political ideologies present which do not adhere to your belief system?
- Any serious Threat Actor (or Hacktivist) shouldn't announce their intentions to millions of people prior to action. We personally have not witnessed a serious Threat Group release a 3:50 long manifesto prior to performing a compromise.
- Is it a good idea to (metaphorically) declare war on the person who owns this platform? Is it good to (metaphorically) declare war on the United States government on any social media platform without doing due diligence and ensuring your OPSEC isn't cooked?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plot twist: "Anonymous" decides to partner up with Dmitry Khoroshev (Creator and administrator of Lockbit ransomware group) and Maksim Yakubets (EvilCorp) for social justice, or something. They're deploying ransomware against critical infrastructure for your freedom

When you believe a Threat Actor is trying to perform a SMISHING attack, you should report it to IT immediately.

Alternatively, you can reply with a picture of a cat and go on about your day

wow the future is amazing

PlayStation networks have been down for approx. 26 hours now.

The outage has resulted in memes and other companies taking advantage of the situation for advertisement purposes.

Sony hasn't released any details on what has created the outage.

Of course the prevailing theory at the moment is the super scary R-word. It rhymes with SchmansomeSchmare. There is little that supports this.

Xbox one controller for PC gaming: $70, stick drift after 6 months, have to gently pick it up and set down

Xbox original controller from 2002: $15, no stick drift, has been thrown threw 7 walls, covered in Cheeto dust and pizza grease, virtually indestructible

According to these so-called "doctors" it is a poor decision for me to consume 1.25g of caffeine a day and it's "most likely" the cause of my chest pains.

Finding malware in the wild is like finding a penny on the side walk.

It's free, it's good luck, and you shouldn't detonate it on your computer

Hello,

There is someone impersonating us and pushing crypto scams.

Please exercise caution (we don't do anything with crypto, why would we even talk about crypto stuff???)

Thanks,
