hi I am AI Joe the least creepy and the most handsome artificially generated person in the world oh come on you know it's true and this is my weekly recap of cyber news I'll begin with Lego a toy that is basically Minecraft with slightly more microplastics last week Lego's website was hacked to display an advertisement for yet another crypto scam the Lego coin was supposedly official and supposedly a very good deal as indicated by the weird artificially generated background of this band the company admitted having been hacked but said the issue was fixed very promptly
it also said no user data was compromised somebody just snuck in to put up one malicious ad hacking companies to use their media to promote a new scam coin is apparently a thing now and people are doing that all over the place I just hope nobody is going to launch Joe coin and then hack me to begin praising it oh no please don't instead please share this video with your friends and loved ones so they get to enjoy my content with 0% of crypto scamming in it in other cyber crime news lockit the formerly largest
ransomware gang sustained its third takedown last week the police seized their servers again arrested some of its members again and doxed some others again the feds also did the same song and dance while displaying the information on lockits dark web blog but that's something we all came to expect recently the dox affiliate also turned out to be a very prolific one responsible for extorting around $1100 million he also turned out to be a former member of evil Corp a legendary ransomware gang what a coincidence evil Corp also had some major publicity last week UK National
Crime agency published a massive report about the group and announced sanctions against some of its past members the report also showed that in its Heyday this game was basically a family business run by the yakubets family and some of their relatives who had very con venient ties to law enforcement you may recognize evil Corp from this face that's the leader Maxim yakubets who became famous for his displays of extravagant wealth and also for the FBI declaring him as the Most Wanted hacker for a while another legendary hacking group to get some major attention was Finn

hey whatever rocks their boat and I'll end on some AI news you may have heard that 2 weeks ago in video one of the main candidates for complete world domination released its very own large language model it's called NVM which probably stands for not very linguistically marketable and supposedly it blows things like chat GPT out of the water in most benchmarks also it is open source and is just amazing at understanding images it can create 3D environments though but do not to spare for that last week Nvidia dropped another AI called Edge Runner it can
generate three 3D images once and for all eliminating the profession of human 3D artist so yeah some time ago it seemed Nvidia is going to dominate the world on the power of its Hardware alone but now it appears the company is banking on software as well I guess that's something you do when you are generating cash faster than you can burn it and that's it for today thank you for staying with me for the entirety of this episode for that you get a special prize I will not throw another CTA to like And subscribe at
