๐Ÿšจ Fake Cyber Onion Ad: Hackers hate this one weird trick.

In the latest episode of ‘Why We Can’t Have Nice Things,’ cybercriminals have taken the open-source forensic tool Velociraptor, meant to help with digital investigations, and twisted its purpose to deploy Visual Studio Code for Command and Control (C2) tunneling. Clearly, when life gives hackers legitimate software, they make a fine criminal vinaigrette.

Experts have wagged their fingers at attackers for their blatant abuse of tools meant for good. ‘Itโ€™s like using a stethoscope to break into a vending machine,’ said one exasperated researcher, who is seriously reconsidering their life choices in cybersecurity.

This novel misuse has shed light on what could only be described as the Marie Kondo approach to hacking: taking simple, everyday digital items and sparking joy in the hearts of cybercriminals everywhere. As legitimate software continues to be perverted in this manner, developers are left wondering if perhaps they should include a disclaimer: ‘Not to be used for evil, seriously.’
