I just committed to running across Nebraska in May 2026 on behalf of an amazing #LNK nonprofit. There are a lot of details to work out yet, but I'm excited. More info to come! Now if you'll excuse me...

Hey ChatGPT, how does one prepare to run 500+ miles over the span of two weeks or so?

How do you plan on handling the #LNK marathon this Sunday morning in Lincoln?

Threat Actors are Targeting US Tax-Session with new Tactics of Stealerium-infostealer

Cybercriminals are exploiting the US tax season to deploy Stealerium malware, targeting citizens through sophisticated phishing campaigns. The attack utilizes deceptive email attachments with malicious LNK files, leading to the execution of PowerShell scripts and the download of a PyInstaller-packaged executable. This payload injects into mstsc.exe and deploys Stealerium, an information-stealing malware that exfiltrates sensitive data from browsers, cryptocurrency wallets, and popular applications. The malware employs anti-analysis techniques, creates a hidden directory, and registers with a command and control server. It steals credentials from various sources, including browsers, gaming platforms, and messaging apps, while also capturing webcam images and Wi-Fi passwords.

I learned this morning that 10th Street will be closed between Van Dorn and K Street on Sunday for the #LNK Marathon. In the past that stretch has only had lane closures. Why the full closure? How the hell do drivers get Downtown?

Detecting Multi-Stage Infection Chains Madness

This analysis examines a complex multi-stage attack exploiting a resilient network infrastructure known as 'Cloudflare tunnel infrastructure to deliver multiple RATs' since February 2024. The infection chain involves multiple steps, including phishing emails with malicious attachments, execution of various file types (LNK, HTA, BAT, Python scripts), and eventual delivery of AsyncRAT. The attackers employ various evasion techniques and leverage public services like TryCloudflare and DynDNS. The report highlights the importance of combining cyber threat intelligence with detection rules to enhance security capabilities against evolving threats. It also provides detailed information on the attack stages, detection opportunities, and associated indicators of compromise.

Hey #LNK folks me again. As part of my office clearing I have another item I’d like to give away if someone needs it rather than take to Goodwill

This time it’s a 27” Acer Nitro 4K gaming monitor. Not much more to say about it, it works good and has nice pixel resolution unlike those garbage 1080p 27” displays

—THIS MESSAGE IS FOR PEOPLE IN #LNK AND ITS ENVIRONS—

I have a Costco standing desk I want to get rid of for free. It is the famed Tresanti brand. It has a drawer, and some working USB-A charging ports on the side. The wireless charging pad on the top didn’t work out of the box but it makes a nice coaster. The top is dry erase glass also. If you want it you can ask and it will be yours. I do not have a truck to deliver because they don’t sell kei trucks in America

March 2025 APT Group Trends (South Korea)

This intelligence report analyzes Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks in South Korea during March 2025. The majority of attacks were classified as spear phishing, with LNK file distribution being the most prevalent method. Two types of LNK-based attacks were identified: Type A, which uses a CAB file with malicious scripts, and Type B, which downloads a CAB file containing a malicious Python script. Both types employ obfuscation techniques and execute multiple stages to perform various malicious activities, including information leakage and additional malware downloads. The attacks often use decoy files to appear legitimate and target specific individuals or groups with carefully crafted emails.
