Tried to buy a Ledger Nano X from an authorised seller here in Thailand (Shopee), hoping it was a bugged one so I could take a look for myself... He wouldn’t sell it though 😂 Wonder how they’ll do the inspection though… X-Ray all the current stock in the said Malaysian warehouse?

they need to indict his watch dealer too lol… all the seized Rolex watches are fake/replicas… except the one the he gifted to his partner (a women’s Datejust)!
Replying to @mattjay
The criminal information doc is light on specifics - doesn't name the victim companies or detail nature of stolen trade secrets. But does list all the watches the FBI collected from him... We can connect some dots based on what they do as a company.

35 year old Chinese man arrested in Bangkok, driving around populated areas with a SMS blaster with a 3km radio sending 1,000,000 phishing SMS per hour. "Phone users within range received a message stating: “Your 9,268 points are about to expire! Hurry up and redeem your gift now”. This was followed by a URL for phishing website."

Streisand effect in full swing, the repo is #1 top of GitHub trending today 😂 github.com/trending
Last week, our project Docker-OSX's Docker Hub account received a DMCA takedown notice from Apple to remove our Docker images from Docker Hub. The images have over 750k pulls. The GitHub page has 40k GitHub stars. It is a security research project that is geared towards Linux users (and now Windows) being able to participate in Apple Bug Bounty. Apple is obviously well aware of the project, as our project has been active for over 4 years. You can read the DMCA notice here: bleepingcomputer.com/news/se… via @billtoulas from @BleepinComputer The project: github.com/sickcodes/Docker-… Clause 7. b. of the Apple Security Research program explicitly permits breaching Apple licenses including, copying, decompiling, reversing, create derivative works, etc. security.apple.com/terms-and… The DMCA notice simply asked Docker Hub to cease hosting our automated Docker builds, that are automatically created from Dockerfiles in the GitHub project. Anyone can build the Dockerfile locally. Yes, it will download the latest macOS installer for each version. Yes, the Docker builds therefore contain macOS (recovery) installer file. Should I create a second set of Dockerfiles, that will download the macOS installer at runtime in order to comply with the DMCA? This will shrink the image size significantly, and every `docker run` will therefore use the very latest macOS installer for that major version. bleepingcomputer.com/news/se…

For some reason sickcodes/docker-osx and all images and tags were deleted from my Docker Hub account today. Anyone at @Docker know why? No email or notification as to why. The repo has 750k downloads, 500 stars, 40k GitHub stars. I wonder if @Apple DMCA’d the Docker repo...?

Apple reported the Docker-OSX repository to Docker Hub saying that it violated Apple copyright and Docker Hub moderated the repository. Will update later today when I have more information and next steps.

Trending on Hacker News for no reason again 😂 Security Researchers can use Docker-OSX to run macOS containers on Windows & Linux to perform security research. I jailbreak my phones with it (on Linux) GitHub Stars: 37k! Downloads: 700k! Link to HN thread: news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

8,500,000 mission-critical machines must be manually fixed, many of those machines are customer facing. Bitlocker ones even worse outlook. Many of these machines will simply be written off. Worse than the worst ransomware attack ever... incalculable business impact.

I love how they call @CrowdStrike a malware company 😂
JUST IN - Global cyber outage. Cybersecurity platform CrowdStrike is "down" worldwide, causing global IT problems, Microsoft crashes, 911 outages across several US states, and disruptions in international airlines, banks and media outlets.

Proton blames a user for using their iCloud email to sign up to ProtonMail. Proton required a second email during sign up. Shift blame to Apple for then doxing the user, yet Proton is the one who gave up the user’s privacy. Proton gives this secondary email up, on command now.
The name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can't decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email.

Yes, the user was an alleged terrorist. But that’s not the point. Switch that word for human rights activist, dissident, victim of crime, state actor, etc.

Proton Mail has done this before, and they’ll do it again.
Another one bites the dust. Proton Mail is compromised. Revealed user data thus negating their mandate. Adjust accordingly.
