Cybercrime Wire For Nov. 20, 2024. International Game Technology Hack. WCYB Digital Radio.

💻 INITIATING SEQUENCE...
This isn't just a song; it's the quiet before the storm. "The Setup" is a cinematic descent into the digital shadows, chronicling the methodical, patient stages of a cyber-attack. Every lyric is a tactic, a whisper from the MITRE ATT&CK framework mapping the long-con game of acquiring infrastructure, compromising accounts, and staging capabilities.
Feel the tension build with hypnotic arpeggios and a driving sawtooth bassline that hits like a root command. We built this track on a foundation of crisp electronic drums and vast, atmospheric pads, creating a digital landscape for the smooth, ethereal vocals to glide through. It's the soundtrack for your late-night coding session, your next CTF competition, or that moment you realize you're a ghost in the machine.
If you're into the dark, driving energy of artists like Perturbator and Gesaffelstein, the cinematic scope of a Trent Reznor score, or the world of Mr. Robot, you've found your new anthem.

Flippin' a switch in a data sea
Gotta acquire infrastructure, quietly
Spin up a server, rent a domain name
Playin' a ghost in a digital game
Got the access, a key without a door
Just a crack in the code, and I'm wanting more

'Cause this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show

Got a list of names, a simple, tempting lure
Compromise accounts and now I am secure
Establish new ones, a friendly, fake face
Blending right into the digital space
Hijack a router, make their systems mine
Compromise their infrastructure, right down the line

Yeah, this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show

I can develop capabilities, writin' my own new code
Or obtain a zero-day, lighten the whole load
A custom payload, a virus sharp and bright
No need to build when I can buy the fight

Oh, this is the setup, the long-con game
Before they ever even know my name
I'm building the stage, letting the shadows grow
This is the quiet... the quiet before the show!

Now I stage the capabilities, ready for the sign
All the pieces are in place... everything's aligned.





The Setup

Initial Access
By: Russell Nomer

The network's quiet, the fortress stands tall 
You think you're protected, behind a firewall 
But a lock only works if the key can't be found 
I'm standing at the gates on digital ground 

I'll send a little lure, a carefully crafted spear 
A Phishing link, an attachment, playing on your fear 
Or you'll just surf the web to a site you thought was clean 
A Drive-by Compromise, a malware scene 
I'll change your favorite blog, rewrite the trusted script 
With Content Injection, now your safety's ripped

Initial Access! The first foot in the door! 
Eleven techniques, and I'm coming back for more! 
Initial Access! Breaching your cyber core! 
This isn't the end, this is the start of the war! 

Your Public-Facing App, with a flaw you overlooked 
That External Remote Service, now I've got you hooked 
A little USB I "lost" right on your lobby floor 
Replication starts, opens up another door 
Or maybe something physical, a sneaky little box 
A Hardware Addition that circumvents your locks

Initial Access! The first foot in the door! 
Eleven techniques, and I'm coming back for more! 
Initial Access! Breaching your cyber core! 
This isn't the end, this is the start of the war! 

Sometimes it's not a direct attack, the methods can be sly 
Through a Trusted Relationship, or a Supply Chain buy 
I'll use Valid Accounts that were stolen, weak, or new 
And that insecure Wi-Fi Network? Yeah, that was me, too... 

 Eleven ways to get inside... 
Nowhere left to hide... 
I'm in.

Privilege Escalation

The heist is on. 🤫 Step into the smoky, late-night world of "Diabolical Discovery," the latest track from Russell Nomer's groundbreaking MITRE ATT&CK series.
After the absurdity of "The Credential Cartel," the mood shifts to a cool, clandestine Spy Jazz thriller. This is the sound of a master thief casing the joint—a spoken-word noir monologue over a swinging bassline, brushed drums, and a lonely muted trumpet. It's the ultimate soundtrack for mapping the network, identifying the targets, and planning the perfect crime.

[INTRO]
(spoken) “The door's unlocked, ain’t this divine?
Let's make a list of everything that's about to be mine.”

[Verse 1]
First... the System Information... know the vintage of the cage.
Then the Process Discovery... see the actors on the stage.
I'll find the Permission Groups, see who thinks they're in control.
And check the running Device Drivers... just to own them, body and soul.

[Verse 2]
Now let's expand the view... map out the whole estate.
Remote System Discovery... sealing every victim's fate.
Find the juicy Network Shares, the secrets they all hide.
And check the Domain Trusts... there's nowhere left to slide.
The Cloud Infrastructure's next... I see their silver lining.
And all the while, my silent Network Sniffing is defining...

[Bridge]
...the path to victory. Every weakness, every prize.
Through the lens of thirty-three techniques, I see through their disguise.
I'll discover their whole world, from the desktop to the throne.
And every single byte of it is going to be my own.

[Verse 3]
One final inventory... before I start the real fun.
Gotta find the Security Software... and disable every one.
Check the Password Policy, see just how the tumblers fall.
And with some Log Enumeration... I'll prepare to erase it all.

[Outro]
The inventory's complete.
And now... the heist begins.
[End]

Diabolical Discovery

The heist is over. The data is yours. Time for the victory lap. 💃🕺
The MITRE ATT&CK saga hits the dance floor! Russell Nomer's 13th track, "The Exfiltration Hustle," transforms the art of stealing data into a sleek, Nu-Disco anthem. After the industrial fury of "Digital Domination," we're making a clean getaway with a sound that fuses 70s orchestral disco with a modern techno pulse.
Featuring a chic, breathy female vocal guiding you through the steps of the exfil, this is a dance tutorial for the digital age. Listen closely for the hook: "Ex Fil Hustle!"... which also sounds a lot like "Follow Russell!" 😉
If this track is your new getaway anthem, smash that ❤️ LIKE, 🔃 REPOST, and tell us in the COMMENTS: What's your victory song?

Cybercrime News For Oct. 13, 2025. ‘Dozens’ of Orgs. Hit in Oracle-Linked Hacks. WCYB Digital Radio.

 “Dark AI” — models and tools fine-tuned for fraud, hacking, and deception — are giving cybercriminals new ways to automate scams and launch attacks at scale. 

The legal system hasn’t had time to catch up, leaving a gray area where creating malicious AI tools isn’t illegal — only using them is. Cybersecurity experts are fighting fire with fire, using AI to detect threats, patch vulnerabilities, and counter hackers in real time.



Verse 1
 In the shadow of the code, where the circuits hum and spin,
 Ghosts of data whisper softly, luring dreamers in.
 A thousand faces, none are real, all built from stolen light,
 The truth dissolves in patterns deep inside the endless night.
Chorus
 Dark AI, in the mirror’s mind,
 Building lies from every line.
 Dark AI, we drew the line too late—
 Teaching ghosts to imitate.
Verse 2
 Promises in language smooth as silver, cold as glass,
 Selling trust in counterfeit, where human moments pass.
 Justice sleeps in empty halls, the law still blind to code,
 While algorithms learn to walk the path that we forbode.
Chorus
 Dark AI, in the mirror’s mind,
 Building lies from every line.
 Dark AI, we drew the line too late—
 Teaching ghosts to imitate.
Bridge
 But out there in the glow, some still fight the tide,
 Turning reason into armor, truth their only guide.
 Machine meets mind in silent war, unseen yet ever near,
 A symphony of light and fear.
Final Chorus
 Dark AI, can we still define
 What’s yours, what’s truly mine?
 Dark AI, in the coded gray—
 We made the storm and lost our way.
