#VoltTyphoon operational network for 0-day exploitation uncovered.
Very insightful research from the people
@lumentechco .
Kudos for using the insights on this network over a 3 year timespan to inform victims/targets before major impact.

In an international law enforcement operation 👮, the US Department of Justice 🇺🇸, in cooperation with private sector partners, have taken down notorious bulletproof hosting provider Virtualine 💥
➡️ justice.gov/usao-edva/pr/bul…
Operating as AS202412 (Omegatech LTD), Virtualine received upstream connectivity from German 🇩🇪 providers aurologic GmbH (AS30823) and Pfcloud UG (AS51396), as well as French 🇫🇷 PEERXY NETWORKS SAS (AS213382), as bgp .tools shows. This network connectivity is now gone, currently making it impossible for Omegatech to operate 🛑
Omegatech announced 24x /24 IPv4 CIDRs, totaling 6,144 IPs. Out of these, hundreds were seen daily participating in spamming, internet-wide scanning, and botnet C2 hosting ⤵️
🌐 URLhaus tracked over 10,000 malware distribution sites at Omegatech: urlhaus.abuse.ch/asn/202412
📡 ThreatFox logged 2,000+ community-shared IOCs tied directly to Omegatech: threatfox.abuse.ch/asn/20241…
The hoster primarily served malicious infrastructure associated with RATs 🖥️ (e.g., PureRAT and OverlordRAT), rogue ScreenConnect servers 🔌, and social engineering malware campaigns like ClickFix and ErrTraffic 🖱️. While internet abuse for sure can happen, Virtualine was not reacting on abuse reports at all and advertised their "bulletproof hosting services" on the darkweb, as investigation shows 🕵️♀️
The takedown of Omegatech is welcome news. However, its long-term impact remains uncertain. Bulletproof hosters commonly re-brand and resume operations under new ASNs quickly 🔃
Furthermore, Omegatech is just the tip of the iceberg. Other active bulletproof hosters include:
➡️ AS219502 (STORMCLOUD)
➡️ AS207043 (DEDIK-IO)
➡️ AS214351 (FEMOIT)
What do they all have in common? According to bgp .tools, they all receive upstream connectivity from German provider aurologic GmbH (AS30823) as well 🔍👀
If you don't want to worry about the threats posed by bulletproof hosters, just block any CIDRs and ASNs listed on @spamhaus 's Don't Router Or Peer List (DROP):

This is absolutely nuts and only hitting German papers so far: leaked emails show that seven politicians from Germany's far-right AfD travelled to Syria to meet with Assad regime officials... facilitated by Hezbollah AND Russian intelligence.

#ESETresearch uncovered #MythicRatatoskr, an undocumented Go backdoor hiding its C&C server inside the #Yggdrasil mesh network. It was used against a Ukrainian 🇺🇦 grain logistics firm in an intrusion that ended in a destructive #Sandworm attack.

Wrote up my attempt at deobfuscating Luraph-protected Lua: lifting Lua to LLVM IR , then using AI + partial evaluation to strip the VM, and checking it against the original.

🦠 ThreatLabz has identified an x64 variant of GuLoader. The sample uses similar anti-analysis methods as GuLoader x86 samples. However, the following anti-analysis features have been added:
- Huge stack frames in order to break IDA's decompilation.
- Direct syscalls to call Windows native API functions. GuLoader chooses a different syscall address that is chosen randomly.
- The registered Vectored Exception Handler (used to obfuscate the control flow) points to a location within NTDLL's memory region, making the exception-driven control flow appear legitimate.
- Use of the Windows API function TrySubmitThreadpoolCallback to execute callbacks and avoid detection.

This semester I am teaching a new course on Agentic Systems, which explores the full stack of AI systems: from building and optimizing agent harnesses to serving and optimizing LLM serving infrastructure.
Students learn by building, measuring, and optimizing real agents and systems, balancing capability, latency, and cost.
Our goal is not just to teach today's AI technologies, but to prepare students to build tomorrow's.
All lectures, readings, and assignments are publicly available at cs2680.seas.harvard.edu

The final post of my decompilation project is out.
83% of the functions are byte exact. We're hitting diminishing returns. The game runs flawlessly, so we're calling it done here.
For obvious reasons, no code will be shared.

poteto's cursor profile is public. She's used 1.5T tokens in the last 30 days.
Assuming an avg rate of $8/M that's $384k/day or $11m. In the last 30 days. Per year thats $132M.
Let's assume Cursor has some insane deal with Anthropic and gets 90% off. That comes out to $38k/day or $1.1M in Sept/Oct.
$13m will get me 26 sassy staff-level all stars for $500k/yr
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Cursor profile at cursor.com/@lauren shows 1.5T tokens used. Cost estimates at $8/M do not account for prompt caching common in agent coding, where cache reads are billed at ~10% of input rates per analyses of Anthropic pricing. This results in lower effective costs.

CAPCOM had a pretty clear message on how they want to use AI in game development:
AI is the shield, humans are the spear.
AI handles the work that burns people out: checking huge numbers of patterns, validating massive amounts of text, catching inconsistencies, and taking on brute-force verification tasks that don’t scale well with human effort.
The goal isn’t to replace developers. It’s to free them from repetitive work so they can spend more time on the parts of games that actually need human judgment: creativity, feel, and emotional impact.
Their framing is basically:
Human creativity × AI coverage/endurance
That’s the model they see as a competitive advantage for next-gen game development.
