On Monday the United States Department of Justice did a press release on the takedown of 8base ransomware group.

Two Russian nationals residing in Thailand, Roman Berezhnoy (33) and Egor Nikolaevich Glebov (39), deployed Phobos ransomware (under the branding of 8base) to over 1,000 public and private entities. Their ransom profits exceeded $16,500,000.

From May, 2019 to October, 2024, Mr. Berezhnoy and Mr. Glebov deployed their ransomware payload most notably to children's hospitals, healthcare facilities, and educational institutes.

The United States government, in conjunction with international partners in Europe (notably, Germany), disrupted over 100 servers related to 8base ransomware group or their affiliates.

Mr. Berezhnoy and Mr. Glebov are facing the following charges:
- Wire fraud conspiracy (20 years)
- Wire fraud (20 years)
- Conspiracy to commit computer fraud and abuse (10 years)
- Causing intentional damage to protected computers (x3) (10 years per count)
- Extortion in relation to damage to a protected computer (x3) (10 years per count)
- Transmitting a threat to impair the confidentiality of stolen data (5 years)
- Unauthorized access and obtaining information from a protected computer (5 years)

Mr. Berezhnoy and Mr. Glebov are facing a maximum sentence of 120 years in prison.

The Doxbin drama has concluded — the administrative staff posted an update on their official channel regarding the defacement.

Good morning chat

Here is "Jeff" my Windows Component Object Model-only (kind of) keylogger.

Thinking about when, in 2015, the Federal Bureau of Investigation employed "Network Investigative Techniques" a/k/a "NIT" to catch pedophiles visiting a CSAM website.

"NIT" acted as drive-by malware and would allow law enforcement remote access to peoples machines (allegedly)

There's been more security issues with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.). We'd discuss it, but anytime we utter a single sentence containing the name "Elon Musk" our comment section turns into a bloodbath.

You're never going to believe this, but this type of guy is the best damn DevOps guy your organization will ever have.

This type of degeneracy will pull 100 hour work weeks, saving your ass, just so they can continue to indulge in degeneracy

Yeah, it's really cringe. But let's be happy the kid is into computers and doing something with his passion

Hi, I've seen a lot of noobies lately discussing their productivity. They're comparing their work ethic or research skills to others.

Everyone has a different "rhythm" when working (research, coding, whatever).

Some people are very consistent (slow and steady).

Some people are sporadic (go fast, crash fast, burn)

Here is mine:
> insane motivation to maldev
> code nonstop / research nonstop
> good work for weeks (3 - 30 weeks)
> crash out (hard)
> hate computer, cant think good
> brain needs rot
> watch YouTube essays on dumb stuff
> brain not good for weeks (3 - 30 weeks)
> brain tired of rot
> have ideas
> repeat entire cycle

This has been my "flow" for about ... 17 years

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
