My good fellas, I'm in the mood of quoting classics. Leo Tolstoy said that every happy family resemble one another - and every unhappy family is unhappy in it own way. But this situation reminds me more of Folgers ads classic. The one with brother and sister meeting for Christmas. Though we almost settled who is who there is still much space for imagination because this family has a really own way of relationships. One of Brigitte daughters said in an interview that situation in her family has taught her to accept everything. I can't even imagine what this poor girl had to walk through. So I will just gather them altogether and leave to your judgement. Emmanuel Macron Brigitte Macron Jean-Michel Trogneux Jean-Jaques Trogneux #SnatchInvestigation #Macron #Trogneux

Hello my good fellas. One of our friends has found an interesting material worth to be shared. Dark Apocalypse of Unknown REvil MVD Officers When you commit a crime try not to violate more than one Law in one time. Advice is a time-proofed but when you are an MVD officer things can go weirdly. Things can go more weirdly if you are a top-ransomware actor wanted by international LE and russian MVD officer in one time. Try to avoid it as best as you can! To all future generations of little MVD officers – try to interest yourself in REAL crime – bribes-bribes-bribes: roofing of whore-houses, protection of migrant slaves from Tadjikiston – man, you can do anything you like – why you decided to be a malware coder?
11/23/2012 in Moscow arrested programmer who created Winlock that evades all known protections against winlocks. Hacker himself with nickname “up0” was known before by his such loud viruses as Trojan.WebMoney and Trojan.FoBoZ.
 
Source
“I’m alive motherfucka they let me go after 30 minutes, could not prove anything; I encrypted HDD in RC4, deleted all cookies and history, they could not prove that I’m upO. 
Hot-hack.ru was hacked by SBU, they gave ip-addresses to “K” – that’s why they visited me”. 7/28/2017 Nummer posted on Exploit: "Now upO in cooperation with me will consult you about Law. Anonymously and easy. Experience – 5 years as investigator." What happened between 2012 and 2017 – a lot of malware – and unique expertise in Law with consulting of fellow forum members, occasional “data lookups” known as probivs (through ex-fellow Mossad) and pioneering of all winlock market since the start to the modern day – to ransomware as we know it now, all postulates were built by upO/LeBron. Then was his first RaaS: GandCrab in a partnership with other hilarious person [omitted]. And finally Revil. I will give an opportunity to speculate about possible links between upO and Unknown to OSINT-faggots (and some opinions are already known and published). What we are interested in – how Unknown story ended.
7/8/2021 "In Moscow oblast was arrested head of Yegoryevsk police department – Oleg Ermakov and his 25-years old son - detective officer of the 4th department of MVD Russia (providing security for sensitive facilities and escorting special cargo) – Aleksandr Ermakov – they were accused in preparing an assassination attempt on a businessman [Kaynov Aleksey Germanovich]".
[Remember, when Unknown disappeared from forums] Long story short: Ermakovs decided to buy an apartment in Moscow, the apartment was encumbered with collateral where were registered minors [according to russian law registered minor has an interest in property and nothing is possible to do with property before their interest is fulfilled]. Kaynov promised to help to close this deal for 2% of cost of the apartment. They paid him money but Kaynov did nothing, more – as it became clear later – Kaynov scammed original owners of apartment on 2.5 mln of rubles [that money were paid by Ermakovs]. This occasion made Ermakovs to decide fate of Kaynov or simply – to murder him. As Aleksandr Ermakov perviously had problems with his investments in some business of gloves and COVID-masks that he solved finally through chechens [someone with name Daud] – Ermakovs decided that this time they can deal with the problem same way. But chechens only took money and did literally nothing. Later they explained their disobedience because FSB got to know somehow about them. So Ermakov Sr decided to use his LE position and to press Kaynov through police (e.g. to check his business objects) and to return all money from Kaynov to him (including money that he spent on his murder) [1, 2]. Ermakovs were arrested – Ermakov Sr in his own house [I recommend to watch this video] – where he hid some cash in a hide in a military thermos ($5 mln and 2 mln of rubles). Also he had a bunker in his house with food supply to survive something scary. What happened with money? Yes, some of it was ransomware money: ~300 mln of rubles and property were confiscated to the State The source.

Have a good Friday my beloved fellas. This is a pretty old material thus illustrating that there is no progress in important spheres. Common degradation and lazy-mindedness are covering all the processes even in the scale of a state. Macron Leaks: the anatomy of a hack It was a huge story that broke in the very final hours of coverage of France's presidential election campaign. But whoever dumped the leaked Macron emails online, did not by themselves turn them into a global topic of discussion. That job was left to a network of political activists, aided by bots and automated accounts, and then ultimately signal boosted by the Twitter account of WikiLeaks. BBC Trending has spoken to the main activist who took the data dump from a fringe message board to the mainstream - and we've pieced together the story of how the hack came to light. #Macron #WorldNews

And another warning, that lead to nothing. Critical Infrastructure Organizations Warned of Snatch Ransomware Attacks
Prior to ransomware deployment, the Snatch threat actors spend up to three months on victims’ networks, searching for valuable data to exfiltrate and identifying systems they can encrypt. They also attempt to disable security software.
Another point of view. #AboutSnatch #CyberSecurity

Hello my good fellas. I liked the headline. US Government in Snatch Ransomware Warning Affiliates use tools such as Metasploit and Cobalt Strike for lateral movement and data discovery, sometimes spending up to three months inside a victim network, the advisory added. They often also attempt to disable antivirus in a rather idiosyncratic way. Snatch threat actors use a customized ransomware variant notable for rebooting devices into Safe Mode, enabling the ransomware to circumvent detection by antivirus or endpoint protection, and then encrypting files when few services are running. The whole point of view. #AboutSnatch #CyberSecurity

Gérald Moussa Darmanin (born 11 October, 1982) is a French politician who has been serving as Minister of the Interior in the governments of Prime Ministers Jean Castex, Élisabeth Borne and Gabriel Attal since 2020. A former member of The Republicans, Darmanin has been a member of La République En Marche! Since 2017. Darmanin was born to a working-class family with Algerian and Maltese roots.His father, Gérard Darmanin, managed a bistro and his mother, Annie Ouakid, worked as a cleaner. His maternal grandfather, Moussa Ouakid, born in 1907 in the douar (a camp of Arabic tents or small rural village of few little houses) Ouled Ghalia, in the Ouarsenis, in Algeria, was a Chief Warrant Officer in the French Army and decorated with the Médaille militaire. Private data leaks in comments. #SnatchInvestigation #Darmanin #SnatchDataBreach

Hello my good fellas. We've been out of the public life for a while due to loads of work. We were preparing for you a new French company that has been under attack for over a year, but we decided to come back and check how they are doing after our visits. Well, as expected... Despite the fact that we published an announcement about this company in October 2023, nothing has changed in the security system and network perimeter of this company. So we have prepared for you 1 TB of selected information directly from France, fresh as a morning croissant. So the new top chart leaders of our project are company Neovia crew. France as usual breaks all records on the amount of the lost data. The funnies thing is that the company we introduce today specializes in IT services. Oh, gosh.
Néovia is an IT services company that has developed an innovative concept for its employees, placing them at the heart of its strategy. For more than 10 years, it has brought together the best of the IT services company and the freelancer. The Neovia concept was born out of an observation of the dysfunctional management policies of traditional IT services companies.
Anf of course, according to Manifesto this data will be accompanied with French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin data leaks. It will be less than 24 hours before we familiarize you with this very fascinating information. Stay tuned. #Neovia #SnatchDataBreach

How very interesting. The Conservative former leader Iain Duncan Smith repeated those calls, telling Sky News: “This is yet another example of why the UK government must admit that China poses a systemic threat to the UK and change the integrated review to reflect that.
“No more pretence. It is a malign actor, supporting Russia with money and military equipment, working with Iran and North Korea in a new axis of totalitarian states.” In a statement on Tuesday morning, the MoD said: “The defence secretary will make a planned statement to the House of Commons this afternoon setting out the multi-point plan to support and protect personnel.”
A spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry said Beijing opposed and fought all forms of cyber-attack and it rejected using the issue for political ends to smear other countries. #UKEstablishment #UKDataBreach #StateDataBreach

Hello my good fellas. Do you know what the word for the wise is? It is some exposed personal data that gives talented ones a key to further doors. Grant Shapps is unlucky. Waiting news about others from the UK Establishment. The Ministry of Defense said the breach occurred at a third-party payroll system holding bank details of as many as 272,000 serving armed forces personnel and recent veterans. In a few cases, addresses may also have been exposed. Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said officials had “immediately taken the system offline” and launched an investigation into the breach and possible failings by the contractor, SSCL, which describes itself as “the largest provider of critical business support services for government.” “We cannot rule out state involvement,” Shapps told lawmakers in the House of Commons, though he said the government did not yet have evidence to make that conclusion. #GrantShapps #UKEstablishment #StateDataLeak

My good fellas, i came across amusing information i'd like to share. It's about history of the passwords. Ancient civilizations used various methods to verify the identity of individuals. These methods included physical tokens, such as seals or badges, which were used to grant access to restricted areas. Some societies relied on knowledge-based authentication, where individuals had to provide specific information or answer questions to prove their identity. From this point of view, will you ever make your privileged knowledge worth of "123456"? In the early days of computers passwords provided a layer of protection against unauthorized access and were initially used to authenticate users. The first digital password was actually invented in 1961 by MIT computer science professor Fernando Corbato who needed a way for several users to work on the same computer. In the time since, passwords have become an integral part of our digital lives and we now use them everyday. Read all. #Passwords #Educational

For nearly a decade, that’s been “123456” and “password”—the two most commonly used passwords on the web. A concerted effort to get rid of passwords began roughly two days after the password was invented. Passwords are a pain—you’ll get no argument here—but we don’t see them going away in the foreseeable future. But there is a solution that may help. Passkeys aim to make all of your accounts more secure by using passwordless login in place of traditional passwords since each passkey is a unique digital key that can’t be reused. Passkeys are generated cryptographic keys managed by your device (usually your phone). They’re easy to create—you don’t need to do anything, your device handles the details. Your passkeys are stored on your device and usually protected by either biometrics or PINs. Since passkeys are generated key pairs instead of passwords, there's nothing to remember. If you are familiar with GPG keys, they're somewhat similar in that there's a public and private key; the website you want to log in to has a public key and sends it to your device. Your device compares that to the private key it has and you're signed in (or not if the keys don't match). While passkeys aren't a radical departure, they're still an improvement. If millions of people suddenly stop using 12345678 as a password, that's a win for security. Think of passkeys as credit cards next to the cash (passwords) in your wallet. It's possible that one day passkeys will work everywhere and there will be no passwords, no password managers. In the mean time we think it's better to stick with a password manager, even if all you're doing with that manager is storing passkeys. #CyberSecurity #Passkeys

Using the pseudonym P4x, the cybersecurity researcher took the servers hosting North Korea’s websites and email services offline with distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. While North Korea is largely disconnected from the global internet, it still maintains some digital connectivity and operates a handful of websites that rely on internet routing via China and Russia. However, this digital infrastructure is notoriously fragile and prone to outages, rendering it vulnerable to outside attacks. Currently, the 38-year-old Colombian-American is the chief executive officer of open-source software development firm Hyperion Gray but has previously done some work with the Department of Defense and U.S. intelligence agencies. In an interview with NK News, Caceres discussed his motivation to take down the DPRK’s internet, what he learned from the experience, and the lessons he believes governments, companies and individuals should take in responding to North Korean threats. #NorthKorea #CyberSecurity #Hackers

If a hacker is able to access a vessel what does that mean for the ship and crew? Back in 2017 shipping giant Maersk fell victim to a global cyber-attack which saw operations disrupted for more than two weeks, equipment having to be destroyed, and $300 million being spent to ensure recovery. The threat of cyber-attacks are unfortunately no element of the past with many still taking place today, seeing seafarers succumb to phishing emails and providing sensitive information. One of the main elements that can be accessed is the manipulation of navigation systems. This can see the hacker either sending false navigation information to the crew, seeing the vessel sail off course, or sending false information regarding the vessel’s location to the shore-side team. Communication systems are another area which are heavily targeted, if there is no communication onboard the vessel reports are unable to be sent out, communication between vessel and onshore cannot take place, and critical situations are unable to be reported. This very interesting topic have become a really intriguing for S.N.Atch team. Just saying. #Shipping #CyberSecurity

Best Practices for Defending Against Droppers To defend against droppers and mitigate their impact, everyone should consider
Best Practices for Defending Against Droppers To defend against droppers and mitigate their impact, everyone should consider these practices: ✔️ Email Security: Implement robust email security measures to filter out phishing emails and malicious attachments. ✔️ Regular Updates: Keep operating systems, software, and security solutions up to date to patch vulnerabilities that droppers might exploit. ✔️ Endpoint Security: Employ advanced endpoint protection solutions that can detect and block suspicious activities, including droppers. ✔️ User Education: Train employees and users to recognize phishing attempts and to exercise caution when downloading files or clicking on links. ✔️ Network Monitoring: Monitor network traffic for unusual patterns or suspicious activities that may indicate the presence of droppers. ✔️ Zero Trust Security: Adopt a zero-trust security model that distrusts all incoming connections and verifies each request, even from trusted sources. #Dropper #Cybersecurity

Hello my good fellas. Have you anything to deal with droppers? ▪️What is a dropper in cybersecurity? A dropper is a type of malware that is designed to deliver and install additional malicious programs onto a victim's computer system. ▪️How does a dropper work in antivirus protection? In antivirus protection, a dropper is detected through behavioral analysis and blocked before it can execute on a computer system. ▪️What are some common indicators of a dropper infection? Some common indicators of a dropper infection include the sudden appearance of new, unwanted programs on a computer system, slow computer performance, and unexpected pop-up ads. Droppers start their infection process by disconnecting the user's system from antivirus databases, then dropping their payload - usually a virus, worm, or other malware - onto the user's computer. While doing this, droppers make sure to evade the system's antivirus software or any malware detecting systems without alerting the user. Typically, they operate quite discreetly, often masquerading as safe and credible software to elude detection from regulators and security scanners. This stealth mode operation is what makes them particularly resilient and dangerous. The fact that they can disguise themselves as harmless software makes it virtually impossible for users with no technical knowledge to avoid them. What makes droppers even more potent is the Barbwire theory. According tho the theory, instead of breaking into a computer network using one point of access, the attacker tries various points of access simultaneously, further increasing their chances at timed, successful infiltration. So, a dropper limits the chance for mitigation because it not only attacks from different angles but also verifies the infection success, making it multiple times more efficient than regular malware. In terms of cybersecurity, the threat posed by droppers is tremendous. For businesses, the infiltration of a dropper can lead to significant data compromise, where sensitive information such as financial details, client databases, and internal communication can be intercepted or stolen. Even worse, attackers can use dropped malware to gain unauthorized access to admin controls, thereby altering system configurations and causing further internal disruptions. #Dropper #CyberSecurity
