Today Microsoft announced they're changing the way they name and label threat groups. The new naming convention now aligns with "the theme of weather"
The new names are absolutely ridiculous and we are having a difficult time taking it seriously

Today someone stole 3,600lbs (1632kg) of Gold from the Toronto Pearson Airport. It is valued at roughly $100,000,000.
The police currently have no suspects. Unrelated to malware of course, but such a ballsy heist is impressive.

ALPHV ransomware group modus operandi has changed. The recent victim postings tone has changed significantly. They do not come across as calm and professional as ALPHV traditionally has.
Someone is new to their group and much more vocal.

There is a direct correlation between hours of anime watched and reverse engineering skills.
The longer someone watches anime, the better they are at reverse engineering.
Scientists do not know why.

Andy Greenberg's book "Tracers in the Dark: The Global Hunt for the Crime Lords of Cryptocurrency" is an incredible book. It reads well. It allows a reader to understand the flaws in cryptocurrency and truly emphasizes the incredible research by people like Sarah Meiklejohn.
This isn't an advertisement for him - this book is genuinely an amazing read. Shoutout to Andy.
