Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 11/05/2026Yes, platforms gain users. When people leave, they rarely delete their account. So the platform's user count will grown indefinitely. But the stats that actually matter is how many accounts are actually active. 110
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 11/05/2026I don't know where you got "is dead" from. I never even insinuated Bluesky is dead. I said they fumbled becoming the next Twitter. The platform isn't dead, it is dying though, and will continue to do so because it has no widespread appeal due to the reasons I stated (and more). 100
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 10/05/2026It’s super pretty, but the central button is a lidar turret that pops up, so I can’t put googly eyes on the bot without blocking the sensors 🥺 6381
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 10/05/2026I bought one of those fancy automatic vacuum/mop things. Actually pretty impressed by the AI mapping software. It just did a quick run through of my place, not the full wall to wall mapping Roomba does, and automatically figured out which room is which. 6251
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 10/05/2026Like, holy shit, the design looks incredible. LED accent lighting, built in power strip, and it's adjustable height. But every photo I can find is just some concept rendering which makes me suspicious that the real version is probably trash. 6280
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 10/05/2026I'm trying to find a new desk for my YouTube set. I don't want to spend too much, but I cheaped out last time & ended up with some wonky shit that visibly moves when I lean on it. If it wasn't for the fact there's no real photos of this, only 3D renderings, my bank account would be RIP right now. 5271
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 07/05/2026I found a zero day in a security vendor's firewall software that allows you to remotely crash the entire system by sending it a single malicious packet. Since the firewall is responsible for inspecting traffic prior to the operating system handling it, no ports even need to be open for it to work. 1834940
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 06/05/2026The thing about modern technology that impresses me the most is batteries. This tiny rechargeable screwdriver actually provides enough torque to not be useless. There’s also a soldering iron version, which just seems like complete magic to me. 61053
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 05/05/2026What in the inflation.... How is $460k/year still middle class? 😭 11495

Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 03/05/2026Someone wrote a bot that replies to people's posts with AI slop, but they didn't code a feature to keep track of posts it has already replied to. I'm now on day 3 of receiving an AI slop reply on the same post every few hours. 8867
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 30/04/2026I got a new camera that costs the exact same as my old one, and the difference is insane. It makes my old videos look completely unwatchable 🥲 9933
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 29/04/2026The trick to owning a Husky in a place with hardwood floors is buying a camo rug. The static from the rug will attract the fur. Instead of fur everywhere, it will blow around until it lands on the rug where it’ll stay hidden until you vacuum. Only downside is my dog is millennial grey :( 7903
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 28/04/2026I can't believe I just bypassed Claude's guardrails by calling it a failure lmao 720720
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 28/04/2026My biggest sin is I’m too lazy to shop for things, so I buy everything, including furniture, on Amazon. I just bought a chair mat and it’s genuinely just a piece of fabric with a rug pattern printed on top. The desk is also a laminate photo of wood 😆 9570
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 25/04/2026So far I appear to have built a really efficient money furnace that vaporizes around $232/hour. It may also do other things, but I'm still validating the output. 3886
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 25/04/2026Hell yeah, let's go! Going to have some cool research coming soon. 71393
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 24/04/2026It’s so much sugar, I don’t even know what to do with it. The bags are too big to even fit in any of my cupboards 😭 12510
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 24/04/2026I posted my research into DPRK state-sponsored hacking on Mastodon and immediately got reply-guy'd by a tankie 😃 5763
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 22/04/2026I spent nearly 4 months investigating the inner workings of a North Korean state-sponsored hacking group. Here's what I learned: 🧵 - The group used generative AI tools to aid in almost every part of their operation. - They exfiltrated 26,584 cryptocurrency wallets from 2,726 victim systems. 1/3 12257109

Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 08/04/2026People really seem to be struggling with the difference between their personal hopes and dreams for the future and foreign policy. The truth is, if Trump could run again, there's no guarantee he'd lose. And even if he did lose, it wouldn't be because voters have seen the error of their ways. 1/3 312013
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 08/04/2026You know it's bad when this isn't an op-ed. It's a news article from the largest public broadcaster of the US's closest ally. Not really sure how the US comes back from this. Who wants an ally that just whimsically starts wars, threatens genocide, and tanks the global economy? Absolute clown show. 1321042
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 01/04/2026President "no new wars" has just announced that after spending $20 billion causing the worst global energy crisis in history, the US has successfully eliminated Iran's non-existent nuclear weapons. 5769
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 30/03/2026Fun little video I made on the way back from RSAC Convention showing how easy it is to minimize the time you spend in airports if you're Type-B enough 9764

Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 12/03/2026Understanding the attacker’s POV is essential for cyber defenders. I’m looking forward to taking part in Radiant Logic’s 'Through the Eyes of the Adversary' series to specifically depict how attackers abuse identity: events.zoom.us/ev/AiQLPSxEM... 0311
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 12/03/2026I'm convinced this technology was invented purely just to troll me 513312
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 10/03/2026Ah, yes. The 15 meter 2 lane pool. Famously used in many Olympic events. 3480
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 10/03/2026These Zillow tags do nothing other than make me more suspicious. Why would you need to clarify that the house isn’t built like shit unless it is? 10811

Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 08/03/2026Ran into a content creator at a conference who had a DJI Osmo 3. I’ve been filming all my videos with an iPhone, so I decided to buy one and give it a go. Surprised by how lightweight it is. Has full face tracking and a wireless mic 4290
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 08/03/2026I’ve never felt more out of place in a keynote lineup, but got to meet lots of awesome people :) 5901
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 07/03/2026I swear every time I go the east coast I have to deal with this bullshit impenetrable wall of thunderstorms. Physically, the planes can fly through them, but the pilots always insist on spending 3 hours flying around them because turbulence makes people sad 😭 14613
Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 05/03/2026Great crowd at Zero Trust World today. Thanks for everyone who came to my keynote and for all the great hallway conversations! 😃 1684

Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 24/02/2026I googled “Weather” and instead of the weather widget, Google gave me an AI summary of a week old weather report from an unknown location in Alabama. 1624732
