Tales from the Underground: Hilarious Cybercrime Fails!!
summary
Concrete failure cases and forensic takeaways: a browser miner that jumps to 100% CPU usage and alerts users instantly; ransomware compiled as a console app with copy-pasted sample code and no exception handling so it crashes; a Windows crypto API misuse that leaves the private key written to disk allowing mass decryption; a PHP ransomware key derivation that is reproducible from server time. Includes honeypot recordings of attackers who cannot navigate Unix paths or fetch payload URLs.
