Ironic that some sources suspect he authored Kronos too, haha.
That's the best joke I've heard all day. Keep in mind MT is the guy who made a blog article about HVNC and was like "yeah, sorry, can't release my own implementation because.. reasons.. (hehe winkface; tips black fedora)" and then links his GitHub, where a terrible example of CreateDesktop's usage can be found. This guy's profession is to open up IDA Pro and use the pseudo-C output plugin and then vaguely stay on-top of "threat intelligence". Here's my threat intelligence for these people: don't run with scissors.
MT is a dreadful programmer. There's logs of MT in his IRC telling people "you can't use the -> operator on references in C++!". He also said he's been writing formgrabbers since before other members of the IRC were born (seriously, nonchalantly). He's barely a programmer at all; never mind a programmer capable of completing malware projects.
MT's past is pretty shady. He's been mixed around with other skids for years with actual ill-intent and that's why this incident has happened.
The fact people take MT, and people in his league like MalwareUnicorn, seriously is completely beyond me. They're all literal skids. It seems anyone with a twitter handle and the ability to retweet real researchers' work is an "infosec researcher". The 'profession' has devolved into something worthy of a meme. And before you try defend these people, just remember that the "whitepapers" people so often love to reference when defending such Twitter skids are literally just 5 page pamphlets where they advertise their employer and talk about things that were discovered in 2004.
Next thing you know, LinkCabin will be giving his rundown of the events. Every moron likes to get involved when they know nothing of MT nor
Also, as far as the "TouchMyMalware" alias is concerned: that alias was taken by someone else (who has no vested interests in malware) long after MT abandoned it. So, any recent activity you see relevant to that alias isn't MT. If you want MT's old aliases, you're gonna have to beat the real ones out of him.
The state of information security is in total disarray.
In 2017, security research is just unskilled skids on Twitter engaging in a giant circle-jerk. Shame, where did it all go wrong?
