The detention of Khader - whose alleged hacker nickname is Rey - is the latest twist in the case of ShinyHunters. The prolific cyber extortion group, which has a long history of targeting major corporations around the world, is believed by experts to consist mainly of young, English-speaking hackers focused on data theft and extortion.
SH days are numbered.
Exclusive: FBI data allegedly stolen by the hacking group ShinyHunters carries granular detail about scores of bureau officials’ job assignments, including sensitive work against Chinese spies, Russian intelligence, drug cartels, and more, Reuters has found reut.rs/4yZ4jzI
At this point, there were more imposters in the group than the group members themselves.
Google secretly had an analyst @AustinLarsen_ inside TeamPCP’s inner circle, watching the supply-chain hacking spree unfold from the inside.

When we first started in this industry, we were told that physical access is the pinnacle of a compromise.
BREAKING: Terry Liu, the Chinese national arrested this week in Maine, has been charged with illegally modifying the hardware of Customs and Border Patrol computers at the Maine-Canada border.
Liu, who described himself as a native of Guangzhou, China, was caught on camera breaking into CBP computers and replacing processors and memory devices before re-inserting them into government networks.
More details to come...

After 20 years chasing ransomware gangs for other people and organizations, I'm finally doing it doing it under my own company.
Launching Arkem Cyber today. Not another IOC feed, not another framework, original research on the adversary, built for the humans who have to make the call.
Also, I don't have a graphic designer, so forgive the logo. I made it myself, between getting this thing off the ground.
If you're a security leader who's tired of dashboards that can't answer "so what do we do about it?", let's talk: arkemcyber.com

The EU just sanctioned the operators behind #Lumma #Stealer.
“Daugn0” and “Lummaseller” have been officially designated for their roles in developing, distributing, and selling the #LummaC2 infostealer.
Also added:
• BPH #MediaLand LLC and its owner
• Two members of Cyber Army of Russia Reborn
• Bentley/Stern (#CONTI #ransomware)
• Two members of #GRU Unit 29155
The inclusion of the Lumma operators is particularly notable. Looks like the “lummakrysy” drama wasn’t entirely off the mark after all.

Deny thy ransomware and refuse thy leak site
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I'll no longer be a Huntress💍
