PaulSec··on I quit infosec and I couldn't be happier
Thanks for your reply, I liked it!

> It seems like the author burned out not because of the work but because wherever he ended up

Don't get me wrong and maybe I was not clear enough (my bad). The infosec part I mostly contributed to was within some consulting companies where I was hopping from one assignment to another one, having different clients every week. I saw some clients with some really strong security posture, I mean it. The "burn out" I experienced was clearly not related to that but pretty much from hacking, writing report, sleep & repeat.

Just sends GET requests to bunch of URLs in order to steal your bitcoins. This attack has been explained and analyzed couple of weeks ago already. Back at the time, it was about 84 BTC that they tried to launder.

PaulSec··on CPSC 527 or: How I Learned to Start Worrying and Write a Virus
I don't get the point from the security companies. Writing viruses will definitely give you the knowledge to understand and (at least try to) protect against them.

Keep it up !
