Alberto Daniel Hill

Cybermidnight Club– Hackers, Cyber Security and Cyber Crime is a trailblazing podcast by Alberto Daniel Hill, an expert in cybersecurity and the first person in Uruguay to serve prison for a computer-related crime. A crime he isn’t guilty of, perhaps one which never happened. Join Alberto as he dives deep into the world of hackers and cybersecurity in his riveting podcast.

In this series, Alberto provides firsthand insights into the dark web and expert analysis of cybersecurity issues that are central to our present digital age.

DarkWeb.Today – Hackers & Cyber Security: Piercing the Veil, Empowering the Secure.

An overview of #OpChildSafety, an ongoing hacktivist operation founded by the decentralized collective Anonymous, which focuses on digital vigilantism to protect minors from online child exploitation. This dedicated effort emerged as part of Anonymous' broader campaigns, gaining prominence between 2018 and 2024, motivated in part by perceived limitations in official law enforcement actions. The operation's primary goals include exposing predators, disrupting dark web networks, advocating for harsher laws, and increasing awareness and prevention of child abuse. Methods used include digital forensics, coordinated social media campaigns, and reporting findings to authorities, leading to real-world outcomes such as increased FBI probes and public pressure for legislative reform.

The sources provide a comprehensive overview of the 764 network, classified as a decentralized, international online group operating as a violent extremist organization primarily targeting minors for grooming, sextortion, and coercion into self-harm. Originating around 2021 as an offshoot of an earlier group called CVLT, the network employs sophisticated psychological manipulation tactics on platforms like Discord and Telegram to exploit vulnerable teenagers. The group's activities include the production and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and they are linked to nihilistic and sadistic behaviors rather than traditional ideological extremism. Law enforcement, including the FBI, has initiated over 250 investigations linked to 764, with arrests and ongoing efforts to dismantle the network globally due to the significant psychological and physical harm inflicted on victims.

The 764 Network: Threats, Tactics, and Response

These sources provide a detailed comparative analysis of two significant ransomware threats: Crypto24 and LockBit. The first source offers a side-by-side comparison, establishing that LockBit operates as a massive Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model with highly variable tactics due to its use of affiliates, while the newer Crypto24 is characterized as a more centralized, stealth-focused group emerging in late 2023. Both employ double extortion and use living-off-the-land (LotL) techniques alongside custom tools for evasion, but Crypto24 emphasizes targeted EDR disabling, whereas LockBit utilizes a broader range of tools and platforms due to its scale. The second source, a threat analysis from Trend Micro, focuses exclusively on Crypto24's sophisticated, multi-stage attack chain, detailing how the group targets high-profile enterprises, maintains persistence through keyloggers and legitimate tools like PsExec, and utilizes a custom tool called RealBlindingEDR to bypass security controls during off-peak hours.

Crypto24 Ransomware: Stealth Attacks Blending Legitimate Tools

The sources consist of an in-depth LinkedIn article detailing the Crypto24 ransomware attack on a bank and a LinkedIn error page that suggests alternative content to explore. The article, written by Michael Slowik, explains how the Crypto24 group successfully breached the bank by exploiting basic security vulnerabilities such as weak passwords and poor network segmentation, mapping the attack steps to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This extensive case study emphasizes that simplicity defeated sophistication as the attackers used readily available tools and exploited fundamental security failures, contrasting the incident with the CISA control framework to highlight where the bank failed to protect 700GB of sensitive data. The second source is a generic "page not found" message from LinkedIn that redirects users to various popular content topics and categories, including business, technology, and career advice.

The Crypto24 Playbook: An Analysis of the Banco Hipotecario del Uruguay Ransomware Campaign

A Regulatory Crossroads for Uruguay’s Digital Future

Uruguay stands at a critical juncture in the formation of its digital policy, navigating a landscape defined by a stark “policy bifurcation.” This division is evident in the contrast between two distinct regulatory efforts: the swift, consensus-driven passage of a law governing the economic and labor aspects of platform work, and the more contentious debate surrounding a proposed framework for democratic governance and the protection of fundamental rights online—a debate that has been deliberately derailed by a false “censorship” narrative.

The central argument of this brief is that the proposed democratic governance framework is not a move toward state censorship, but a necessary and constitutionally mandated corrective intervention. Its purpose is to reclaim digital sovereignty, establish accountability for powerful corporate actors, and protect freedom of expression from the arbitrary exercise of their unaccountable power. The real threat to open discourse lies not in transparent oversight, but in the current regulatory void where corporate policies, often based on foreign laws, dictate what Uruguayan citizens can see and say online.

This policy brief aims to deconstruct the misleading political narratives that have clouded this essential debate. By analyzing Uruguay’s two parallel regulatory tracks—one enacted, one proposed—it will extract key lessons and precedents. Ultimately, this document provides a clear, actionable roadmap for implementing a rights-based governance framework aligned with international best practices, ensuring that Uruguay’s high digital connectivity translates into robust digital liberty for all its citizens.

Uruguay’s Digital Sovereignty Battle Combating Corporate Censorship with Labor Law and Algorithmic Transparency

The source provides excerpts from a transcript of a video interview with John McAfee, the British-American computer programmer and founder of the McAfee software company. McAfee, who notes he and his wife Janice are on the run from US authorities, discusses his rejection of traditional finance and investment, favoring cryptocurrencies like Monero and rejecting gold and silver. A large portion of the interview focuses on McAfee's experiences with psychedelics, which he credits with changing his life but cautions against recommending to others due to the unpredictable outcomes. McAfee also shares his views on social issues like the George Floyd incident, framing it as a matter of power dynamics rather than race, and advises listeners to only pursue activities they truly love. The interview concludes with a reminder that McAfee is not a fan of investing, urging people instead to create value through their own work and time.

John McAfee's Final Interview: On the Run, Crypto, and Psychedelics.

Un Nuevo Paradigma de Amenaza Híbrida

Este briefing tiene como propósito analizar la convergencia de tres fuerzas que están redefiniendo el panorama de la seguridad en México: la creciente sofisticación tecnológica del crimen organizado, la existencia de vulnerabilidades digitales críticas en la infraestructura nacional y una corrupción institucional endémica. Esta confluencia ha dado origen a una amenaza híbrida que desafía los modelos tradicionales de seguridad nacional y aplicación de la ley, exigiendo una reevaluación fundamental de las estrategias actuales.

El argumento central de este documento es que las principales organizaciones criminales en México han evolucionado de ser meros actores de violencia física a convertirse en operadores sofisticados que explotan el ciberespacio para proyectar poder, facilitar la violencia, socavar la legitimidad del Estado y neutralizar a las fuerzas de seguridad. Esta transformación no es un desarrollo marginal; representa un cambio fundamental en su modus operandi que les otorga ventajas asimétricas y, en ocasiones, simétricas contra las capacidades estatales.

Para comprender la magnitud de este desafío, es imperativo primero analizar la evolución tecnológica y táctica de estas organizaciones, dejando atrás percepciones obsoletas que subestiman gravemente la amenaza actual.
