I didn't know about that tool. Apparently, it is a CDR, which I like very much. I'm not aware of any good open-source implementations.

[Patched 09/02/25] Leaking the email of any YouTube user for $10,000 in c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works
[–] kid@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Very nice approach!

Some points about the article:

Nature of the Vulnerability: The vulnerability is a security flaw that allows leaking the email associated with a YouTube channel by exploiting endpoints from both YouTube and Google Pixel Recorder.

Impact: It allows an attacker to obtain the email associated with any YouTube channel, which can lead to phishing attacks, privacy invasion, and other malicious activities. This potentially affects all YouTube users who own a channel.

Fix Status: The vulnerability has been fixed by Google. Both parts of the exploit were resolved by 02/09/2025, and the report was disclosed on 02/12/2025.

Deloitte UK Hacked - Brain Cipher Group Claim to Have Stolen 1 TB of Data in c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works

For now, the threat actor is just claiming that they hacked BT. No prove whatsoever. Groups usually post a sample of the data when they claim a victim, but that is not the case, for now.

If you are asking if the main attack vector was phishing, they are not clear on that:

According to statements released by Brain Cipher, they have exploited critical weaknesses within Deloitte UK’s cybersecurity infrastructure.

In my opinion, you will always be at the mercy of a government in this context: US, China, Russia. In the end it's a matter of choosing which one. FOSS maybe a little less, but in the end it's almost the same. That's my view, of course. That doesn't mean you can't give them a hard time ;)
