@TracketPacer Waiting AI companies to pull an Uber and make tokens affordable to larger enterprises with limitations on their budget, causing this AI bubble to pop, gloriously.
@TracketPacer I know what you are doing, and I hate this esthetic. It's pretty cool how you get your hands on all kinds of gear. Big fan if your content.
@ZackKorman Companies will expect more from even smaller skeleton IT and Security crews as the expectation of AI agents to help with tasks will increase rapidly. Companies that secure AI loads will rise amidst several other cyber tools backed by AI.
Everything will be more depressing.
Today ALPHV ransomware group (who swears they've never rebranded) informed me they've made a new ransomware group with a new and cool and badass name.
I learned a few things.
1. ALPHV follows me on social media. They pay attention to my posts (including kitty cat pictures).
2. ALPHV informed me that they're no longer going to use TOR for ransomware leaks or negotiations because "the FBI can fuck it". Instead everything they do will be stored on the blockchain.
Using the blockchain for malware, and malware accessories, isn't a new malware concept, however it is a relatively ... rare ... or more exotic TTP. If my memory serves me correctly (which it rarely does), the North Korean government has used cryptocurrency blockchains for malware delivery mechanisms and C2 persistence.
They told me they'll be using ICP (Internet Computer Protocol) blockchain.
I initially thought they meant "Insane Clown Posse" blockchain. For a brief moment in time I thought the Juggalos were getting involved in ransomware.
I'm not a cryptocurrency nerd, but they said they use ICP blockchain because ICP can "run smartcontract on server". I have no idea what this means.
What does all of this mean? I don't know. I've been out of the loop on cybercrime TMZ.
