"People asked why I've stopped being cybercrime TMZ and discussing Threat Actor drama and gossip. The reason why is because I have a son. Previously when I was chatting with people from FBI Most Wanted and sending cat pictures to the FBI Cybercrime Division I was reckless because I could afford to be reckless. I wasn't afraid to do risky and/or dumb stuff on the internet. Now that I have a son I'd be concerned for him to grow up and be like "Daddy talks to cyber terrorists and the FBI kicked in our door for sending too many cat pictures". I'm old and lame now.

"Ugh. This is so misleading. This is also fear mongering. Shellbags are used by Windows (as the name suggests) for the Windows shell. It allows the machine to store and/or save shell data so if the folder is revisited the shell state can be restored. In other words it remembers your preferences. Shellbags are user specific they're storing on HKCU (Hive Key Current User) hence they do not require administrative privileges to delete.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this giveaway because it strays away from our traditional cybersecurity and/or educational stuff but it's so absurd I agreed.

"I'm kind of confused. I asked Winston for the file hash. He did indeed share the file hash. The file hash itself is flagged as REGIN. REGIN was believed to be state-sponsored malware written by the NSA in conjunction with GCHQ to achieve geopolitical strategic objectives. The malware was discovered and noted as being potentially state-sponsored in late 2014. I don't know if it's fair for him to write "I found malware" because this malware is XX years old and well documented. The post lead me to believe he had personally found something like this in the wild. Hash:"

Some people felt the giveaways are primarily from low-tier places individuals or organizations. I had some ask why I am not performing giveaways from more "prestigious" organizations like OffensiveSecurity or CISCO. The reason why is because these large organizations don't give a fuck about me and they (probably) don't give a fuck about you. They want money. They're large for-profit"

"Interestingly on websites which list "must follow cybersecurity X accounts" vx-underground is nowhere to be listed. Based on the profiles listed I have a sneaking suspicion some people paid to be listed. I also think (in some capacity) vx-underground is pseudo-black-listed because this profile is not very PG family friendly. Some of the "cyber" influencers listed have a whopping 12000 followers and self-describe themselves as thought leaders. Very interesting. I would describe people like @cyb3rops or @IceSolst or Andrew Thompson (can't remember his X handle sorry) or the nerd from TrustedSec"
