We now know who the prolific hacker “IntelBroker” allegedly is. These court filings always seem like a tutorial on how to be a better cybercriminal: Only accept payment in the most private cryptocurrencies and don’t intermingle personal and online accounts and IP addresses. #Cybercrime #Arrests #BreachForums #Hackers #ShinyHunters #DarkWeb

If you've followed me for a while you know I love old illustrations from magazines or newspapers about #hacking and #hackers. I especially love this one I stumbled across that was attached to an article about the "Pakistani Brain" virus, which infected boot sectors and left text that included the string "Welcome to the Dungeon"

hi #permacomputers, #hackers, #bricoleurs

Starting to tinker with old/disused smartphones to self-host. However, upon buying a couple second-hand phones, I'm often faced with Google's FRP protection: you can only use the phone by connecting to the previous owner's google account. Factory reset doesn't solve this.
Do you have any trustworthy resources on bypassing this? terminal tools? forums?
Seems essentials to increase phone's lifespan.

thankssss

#Hackers backing #Tehran have targeted U.S. banks, defense contractors and oil industry companies following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities—but so far have not caused widespread disruptions to critical infrastructure or the economy.

Somehow I made it the whole way. Looking at it now, it looks like instead of a four year degree, mine took like 14 years.

Libxml2 proudly parades its "no #security embargoes" policy like a badge of honor, because who needs secrecy when #hackers can have a head start? 🚀 In classic open-source fashion, it's a shining example of #innovation and #chaos, proving once again that security is just a state of mind, right? 🔓✨

"We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals.

You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals."

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned over the weekend of escalating cyberattack risks by Iran-backed hacking groups and pro-Iranian hacktivists.

This warning was issued as a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin, cautions the Iranian conflict is causing a "heightened threat environment" in the United States, with "low-level" cyberattacks targeting networks in the U.S. likely.

“ Hackers aligned with Iran have claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on President Trump’s Truth Social platform, according to the cyber nonprofit Center for Internet Security (CIS).

The Iran-aligned hacking group 313 Team took credit for a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on Truth Social within hours of U.S. strikes on several Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday, a CIS spokesperson confirmed.”

I still think the Hackers movie, while terrible at showcasing real tech limitations etc, was great at showcasing the /feeling/ of punk-hacker culture
