Infosec Memes

Today Lockbit ransomware group issued a message to Kash Patel, the new Director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation. He requested Kash Patel contact him via Tox and offered him a file titled "personal_gift_for_new_director_FBI_Kash_Patel.7z". The file is password protected. We don't know what is inside the file. Here is the message Lockbit passed along via their Lockbit website. "Dear Kash Patel! I wish you Happy Birthday! I also congratulate you on your position as the ninth director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and wish you professional success, because it will be not easy for you. You are surrounded by liars, professional manipulators, respected Kash Patel. The so-called “agents” who are under your supervision are tricky manipulators and the whole point of their manipulation is to do nothing, but you have to do something about it, Mr. Kash Patel. I have been called “extortionist” and “blackmailer” a lot, but I am a worthy son of the American Fatherland, a son of immigrants like you, dear Kash Patel! God bless our Motherland! My whole life, like your life is filled with concern for National Security. My business, from which I have paid so much tax, post-paid pentest, I created only to make us all, in our United States of America, a more secure place to live. A safer, more secure place from the Real Threat — trans-continental pro-state group that attacks critical infrastructure to steal our data for Espionage and Diversion. But these very real extortionists, liars, blackmailers, manipulators, known to you as subordinates — FBI agents, have flooded our country with fakes and declared me as a threat. I am an honest businessman who paid so much tax to Our American Treasury and never did a Tax Refund, letting the black folks do it for me. I decided to give you the best gift of all — an archive of classified information for you personally, Mr. Kash Patel. A guide, a roadmap, and some friendly advice. With access level ONLY for you, under password. This information is for the benefit of the National Security of the United States of America, information for you on how to find the TRUTH, which our brother US President Donald Trump also wants to find. This information is the key against LIES, the cure against FAKES. Please contact me personally, I am so reluctant to publish this information that could not only negatively affect the reputation of the FBI, but destroy it as a STRUCTURE. Because I really want you to be, Honorable Kash Patel, not only the Director of the FBI, but also the Director of the FBI History Museum. To have you tell our STORY — how we defeated the fakes and corrupt FBI agents."

It’s the time of year again for the world famous InfoSec Black Friday GitHub repo from @securitymeta_ ! This has been a huge hit running over 5 year, and has just about everything a cybersecurity person would want. (Plus a few things from me as well 😎) github.com/0x90n/InfoSec-…

Ok I so lol’d over this 😂

The most sophisticated Threat Intelligence team on the planet is the Nintendo Corporation Intellectual Property Legal Team. If ransomware groups used a Super Smash Bros logo they'd be caught in 48 hours.

SOC Wrapped data be like: “You spent 145,301 minutes putting together reports while also being expected to respond to incidents this year.”

Friend - My company gave Amazon voucher as a New Year bonus. What about your company. Me - My company also gave Amazon voucher, I clicked on the link to redeem & now I am trying to complete Anti-phishing course for the 11th time.

it’s so fucking funny that elon musk would be like “twitter is a hardcore coding company now” and then ask engineers to email him code weekly because he doesn’t know how to use github

yikes. it’s painfully obvious elon fired the team that writes the updates..

It’s password awareness Friday. Send us your password and we will tell you if it’s strong.

Honestly just continuing to watch the death of Twitter bringing a return to personal blogs with RSS feeds like it’s the early 2000’s. My @feedly lists are ready.

OMG, this is craziness!

NEW: A senior member of Twitter’s legal team just posted this message in Slack:“Everyone should know that our CISO, Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Compliance Officer ALL resigned last night. This news will be buried in the return-to-office drama. I believe that is intentional.”

@halvarflake Unintelligent

Dear native english speakers, I am looking for a non-ableist word that is similarly harsh as "retarded", without the unwanted ableism. What's a good candidate?

If nothing else Mastodon is introducing people into the whole Open Source tradition of trying to be enthusiastic about something really bad that doesn't work at all because you don't want to be rude to the maintainers and the thing you really want to use doesn't work anymore.
