@itsalyxbaby @NeilNevins My youngest co-worker is legitimately 26 so no since I don’t work with children this isn’t something I’d be able to just ask someone at work about.

@NeilNevins Don't people have co-workers?

I showed up early to a 5K in December and another runner in his early 20s started stretching next to me. We just shot the shit for like half an hour. I gauged that he would have been in high school during Covid and I asked what that was like.

@PubWanghaf Hello, based department? You’re gonna love this one.

@vxunderground I knew my man Smelly would deliver, thanks bro

Yeah, so pretty much this cpuid.com malware is a pain in the ass. I'd have to spend a good bit of time trying to bonk it with a stick and reconstruct some of it. Whoever developed this malware actually cares about evasion and made some intelligent decisions when developing this malware payload. This appears to only impact HWMonitor 64bit. It appears (based on user reports) cpuid became malicious around 7PM EST, April 10th, 2026. However, it is possible it was much earlier than this, this is just when people began noticing and discussing it online. From an extremely high-level overview, it appears the ultimate goal of this malware is data theft, specifically browser credentials. However, I could be wrong in that assessment, but I'm fairly confident in it. I'm guessing this is the end goal because when I emulated it I can see it messing with Google Chrome's IElevation COM interface (trying to dump and decrypt saved passwords). However, between this it does a bunch of other stuff too. 1. They (an unknown Threat Actor) compromised cpuid.com to deliver malware from HWMonitor. It impacts the actual installer as well as the portable installer. It downloads stuff from supp0v3-dot-com, the same domain used from a previous malware campaign targeting FileZilla in the beginning of March, 2026 initially reported by MalwareBytes. 2. HWMonitor comes packaged with a malicious CRYPTBASE.dll. CRYPTBASE.dll is a legitimate Windows library, but they made a fake one to blend in (malware masquerading). This DLL is responsible for connecting to their C2 and downloading the other malware stages. 3. It tries to detect emulation and prevent reverse engineering by checking for the presence of specific registry keys on the machine. However, they failed doing this and didn't account for everything. Notably, they only check for VirtualBox (whomp, whomp). 4. It downloads a .cs file from a remote C2 and then compiles it manually on the machine by invoking .NET stuff. This is an interesting strategy. It does all of this via Powershell (LOLBIN nonsense). 5. The .cs file it compiles is a .NET binary with NTDLL exports. The main HWMonitor binary performs process injection using this compiled .NET binary. This is an interesting strategy. 6. Almost everything it does is performed in-memory. I would have to do through this and manually bonk all of this stuff with a stick and determine precisely how it operates. However, I don't think that is necessary because at this point we know this is malware and we know it's trying to steal browser credentials. +2 points for IElevation COM Interface credential dumping +1 point for inline Powershell CLI DLL compilation +1 point for .NET assembly NTDLL export proxying -1 point for botched anti-emulation +2 points for website compromise and supply chain attack +1 point for memory persistence -3 points for recycling the same C2 from March, 2026 campaign Overall I give this malware a B-. This is pretty good malware.

@tsarlet2 You forgot “making a ride time that’s only theoretical as it requires more years than the universe will exist for in order to run”

This split exists in Rollercoaster Tycoon too, you're either playing it to kill guests in interesting ways or building the cool ride you wish existed at your local Six Flags Or you're Marcel Vos and you build a park for optimal genocide rates or a giant calculator respectively

@AHarthcock @METALmimi_Mah People still awake at 6am vs people waking up at 6am

@METALmimi_Mah 🧟: night shift leaving work 🧍: morning shift coming in

テキサスのメタラーさんとメールでやり取りしてるんですが、夜勤やってるんだって言ったら 「こっちでは夜勤は"Graveyard shift"って言うんだw」との事😂 この上ない表現過ぎて笑いましたww

@kinokochan99 @VlynnQ @mori_no_kuma85 The fact police intervention isn’t allowed boggles my mind. In Western countries, emergency services are empowered by law to save a child’s life if they’re trapped inside a vehicle due to neglect. The police would get in trouble if they didn’t intervene, in fact.

@VlynnQ @mori_no_kuma85 日本も車内に閉じ込められて亡くなる子どもは多いです。日本も法律で警察が介入出来るようにして欲しい。70℃の熱さの中で子どもが死ぬのは残酷過ぎますね😭

スーパーの駐車場で車内に置き去りにされてギャン泣きの子どもと遭遇した。助手席のチャイルドシートにベルトもせずギャン泣きの子供。多分1歳未満。たまたま母がいたので手分けして子供を見守りながら店員に店内アナウンスを頼んだ。その間に子供はチャイルドシートから飛び出し後部座席に落下↓

@PaulSkallas The real reason I’d never take a bike to work besides arriving sweaty and having to immediately shower is my route to work and home is very hilly and while a car can easily take a 10% hill, a bicycle cannot.

@vigilamus @blu_iello @kos_data Bro you’re Turkish you’re not even human

@blu_iello @kos_data you're romanian right? I've been to Romania a few times it's not a virtual interaction, I know you guys, I even know how you're justifying theft

Today Is International Romani Day. Percentage of Romani people in the Balkan countries:

@MatthewMaulding @Playerinthgame Yeah don’t fucking grow almonds in a desert

@Playerinthgame I mean, in essence you're correct. But almonds take something like 1900 gallons of water per pound. I'm sure some discussion can be had around that, no?

If you think datacenters are useful wait till you find out about food

@ConsoomerLs It didn’t happen but I wish it did

Looks like they regretted firing him.

@FireThePyro My favourite part is the Soviets quietly bought them as well

telling people that NASA didn't spend a shitload of taxpayer money in the sixties designing pens that work in space and they just bought them from somebody that did the work himself is one of my favorite joy-killing exercises

@RealPostFolder Notice how she isn’t dating any of them?

There's a narrative among women that if a man really wanted to date, he could. This isn't true, most young men would like to date. The harsh truth today is that the average man isn't good enough for the average woman. You can assign blame wherever you want

@MoralDynamics @JJ_McCullough Can’t wait for them to abolish elections to “protect democracy”

@JJ_McCullough People underestimate the degree to which this Canadian sentiment is reflective of the ethos of feudalism Our loyalist country is heading back to that governance system—and many love it : (

There’s a certain idea that you hear a lot from the Canadian media that basically any random ass undemocratic thing that happens in Canadian politics is perfectly fine because that’s just “our system” and you should shut up and accept it. The voter should be understood to have zero influence over anything of actual consequence in terms of who runs this country, while the politicians should get to do whatever they want. Because that’s “our system.” I feel like a lot of this stuff has a very gaslighting quality to it. When people make these blunt “our system” arguments they’re basically telling Canadians to not trust their own instincts of right and wrong or just or unjust. They’re told “this is just the way things are done here and if you complain you’re an ignorant simpleton.” These arguments are ALWAYS made in the direction of giving more power to politicians and less power to voters. I’m getting sick of it.

@ashitagawa_hrak The cheese violence will continue, good Sir.

おいイタリア人。 今寿司にチーズをかけようとしてるその手を止めろ。 そしてゆっくり下がるんだ。 さもなければこのスパゲティは2つ折りだ。 おいアメリカ人、お前もだ。 座ってろ。

@openHR_za @troyhunt At YVR there’s a separate line for US citizens from the rest of the world, where this sign is, so the sign isn’t as silly as it looks at first glance. Once you go down the hall there’s an International Line and a USA line.

Can anyone design us a “we’re not a US company” crest? 🤔 Extra credit for making it clear we’re Australian.

@Chris__X__ He’s our first Ottoman President Gilded everything Retarded, constantly scheming sons Slavic harem Elaborate head gear At war with Persia Messes up address to Heathens Losing face for military blunder which is turning into economic disaster Let’s face it, he’s an Ottoman Sultan

Our President has 5 kids, 3 baby mamas, lives in government housing, has an immigrant wife, and they still don't like him. What does this guy have to do to get some love from the left? 😅

@Francis_F_Koala @osaka_seventeen Well, the nice part about spending 44 minutes on a Tokyo train is that's definitely more than one train. So you get to spend some time walking as you transfer. Even if it's underground passage, still better than just standing still, right?

@osaka_seventeen 東京の電車の44分は地獄。15分が限界。何も成し遂げなかった東京都知事の小池さんの責任は重い。

アメリカの通勤44分と埼京線、山手線の44分は違うと思うな……

@Maguro_Maznaga Good evening my Japanese friend!

そういえばアメリカからのリプライいきなり減ったなあ、なんでだろ

@pochigoro_tama @Hongnumongol99 I feel like the Japanese announcements should just be next station, transfer and maybe safety announcements, and English should include etiquette announcements like not talking loud or eating. I can’t imagine any Japanese person would ever consider eating on a subway for example.

@Hongnumongol99 新幹線を利用した際マナーに関することを長々とアナウンスしてましたが、あれこそ英語で放送したほうがいいのではと思いました。まともな日本人なら別に言われなくてもわかってるよという内容だし、欧米系の乗客が多かったので。

日本の電車や新幹線、放送ありすぎ。うるさい。 日本語だけでいいのに、中国語やら、うるさい。まじで要らない。 日本人は、多言語放送を国際化、と勘違いしているなら、まじでやめてほしい。静かになりたいよ。世界のどの国でも、自国語と英語のみ。媚びる為の中国語は不要だ。
