  • Interesting. Scabies are also species biased.

  • 10 people per site, per incident, at 50-70 hours/week.

    It's thankless work and the people in control don't typically take on contractors. They underpay the actual IR staff. That's why I left the industry. It's a big buddy-system network. Really fucked.

  • Those are mosquito larvae. Saw them all the time growing up in Florida.

    I don't think humans can get heart worms, but this is why you give dogs heartworm pills. They drink water like this when dogging around in the warm south and get the parasite.

  • Whatever. I worked the fucking case. The infiltrators were Russian. After that, it's a political or financial negotiation.

  • From my perspective, you're not wrong. Information sharing is a thing and all of them have a common interest of diminishing USA hegemony.

  • that corn looks suspiciously like beans.

  • FAMILY.

  • I was talking about UN.

  • I am repeating what I said elsewhere on a different comm:

    I call FULL bullshit on this being Iran.

    I personally worked on the cybersecurity incident that happened to St Paul municipal and water systems last year as the Incident Response Technical lead.

    The threat actors were not Iranian then. They were Russian.

    I personally rebuilt most of their networks, VMware hosts, storage, and servers. The majority of the VMware environments did not have config backups and were running 5 and 6 branches of VMware, only two had 7+.

    Their network was insecure. They had IPSEC VPNs between the various location, but there was no further security in that respect. Their firewalls were not being kept up. AAAAND... I warned them that we thought they were still compromised.

    In fact, the forensics team called them out as being clean on a group call one week into the incident, but while we were on the call with leadership, they got RE-infected.

    I had my team compile a massive set of recommendations for them and I wrote the report. Water Systems specifically. They did not listen to us, apparently. The forensics team also did this.

    They had FBI, national guard (fucking incompetent), and law enforcement (useless) in all meetings.

    If they got into Water, they’ll get back into city and municipal again. I guarantee it.

    This is not Iran. It's the fucking incompetence of city government and Russian threat actors.

  • China doesn't target low-value entities like this. They're going after bigger fish and using much more subversive methods. They deploy people on the ground. Look into the Chinese Police Stations that are all over the USA, Canada, and other countries. Illegal AF.

    China gets people to go work for large corps, government entities, and other places, and has them extract data that way.

    Also, what's with your use of ellipses? I don't understand.

  • I do not. If I were to bet, I would guess it's the same people or related groups to the last incident.

    Russian state policy is to allow any sort of hacking as long as it's not aimed at Russian assets. No penalty. These groups just want their bag.

  • Sure. That...I was half asleep.

  • Phrasing.

  • Bullshit. I personally worked on the incident that happened to St Paul municipal and water systems last year as the Incident Response Technical lead.

    *I'll probably repost a comment similar to this if I see this come up in any cybersecurity comms.

  • Whatcha going to do? Send blue-hats to observe?

  • When I was growing up in the 80s in Tampa Bay, it never got more than 93. I'm flying home next week from Seattle to visit my fam. Not looking forward to it.

  • Takes more than talk to take down a totalitarian terrorist.

  • My friend told me there was a ghoul who lived in a tree in my neighborhood. He took me there to see it. In the tree, I saw a crazy looking hairy beast, sneaking around behind the branches... It kept saying "Hosssssssssss" menacingly.

    Turned out to be his best friend in a gorilla costume. I was only 6. That shit fucked me up.

    My example was a friend told me you get computer viruses if you use disks that were dropped on the ground outside. His logic was he was told you get sick if you eat stuff off the ground. Sickness is caused by viruses. Computers can get viruses. Computers “eat” floppy disks. So if you put a dirty floppy into a computer you will make it sick by giving it a virus.

    Hiro Protagonist is a freelance hacker and pizza delivery driver for the Mafia. He meets Y.T. (short for Yours Truly), a young skateboard Kourier (courier), who refers to herself in the third person, during a failed attempt to make a delivery on time. Y.T. completes the delivery on his behalf, and they strike up a partnership, gathering intel and selling it to the CIC.

    Within the Metaverse, Hiro is offered a datafile named Snow Crash by a man named Raven, who hints that it is a form of narcotic. Hiro's friend and fellow hacker Da5id views a bitmap image contained in the file, which causes his computer to crash and Da5id to suffer brain damage in the real world. Hiro meets his ex-girlfriend Juanita Marquez, who gives him a database containing a large amount of research compiled by her associate, Lagos. This research posits connections between the virus, ancient Sumerian culture, and the legend of the Tower of Babel. Juanita advises him to be careful and disappears.
