Being part of a D&D campaign feels great, I really missed it.

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.

Just got a call from this number and on the other line the guy was speaking with someone else "is it working? Yes it's Sean. You may want to hang up the call" From phone number 704-486-2235 Anyone know what this means? #CyberSecurity

Bought a new car, before the tariffs hit us. Pretty awesome.

Didn't feel like cooking so I ordered some Indian. Tandoori chicken really hit the spot.
