Its just like the gamer awards.
They just all fart in wine glasses and sniff it like it makes them special.
Its just a party for their weird little circles.

Honestly I have no idea how anyone believes anything this man ever says. Some of his stories are literally on the tier of Steven Segal. Check out this gem I found on accident today.
tl;dr
>claims he found a IMSI capture femtocel/stingray
>claims it was small enough to be in a small project box under a couch
>claims that it had a simcard in it, and thats how he knew it was a stingray/femtocel
>claims he immediately got the FBI to come down and arrest the guy THE SAME DAY
>claims he got a challenge coin from it
There is absolutely no way this story is true. First of all, the idea of hiding a stingray unit under a couch is absolutely ridiculous and insane. Here is what an actual legit stingray unit looks like:
These are very large, consume huge amounts of power, and usually drive sector or tophat antennas. Absolutely no way one could be fit underneath a couch. Even small units designed to barely cover a room for research purposes require beefy graphics cards for DSP and complex antenna setups like this one from the adaptover research paper:
Even if somehow a smaller unit was made, the overbroadcast attack that allows for smaller units was not released until 2022. And even with a unit this size, it is not fitting in a project box like he describes. That makes just the first part of the story impossibly fake.
The NEXT thing he says that makes this story provably false is that he explicitly talks about a sim card being used in this "stingray" unit. I have never seen nor heard of a stingray or general use femtocel that has ever used a sim card in my life. These designs act as a repeater for a much weaker tower, and do not ever require the use of a SIM card. The idea that a femtocel would ever need one in the first place demonstrates a very weak understanding of the technology. I genuinely suspect that Hall has had very little training on the subject, heard about these at a talk during Defcon 24, and then turned it into a make believe story.
Next, he claims that he contacted the FBI, was able to get a sitdown with them within FOUR HOURS (an agency that might take days or months to respond). After doing some digging I cannot find any evidence of an arrest in connection with the use of such a device. Keep in mind that stingray's are the near exclusive toys of state actors. Even a more achievable implimentation of something like adaptover would require an incredible amount of time and effort. The smallest I have ever seen is a backpack unit made by a Chinese defense company. It is backpack operated and costs 24,000 USD. Someone being found using one of these in the private sector would be very big news, especially in 2016 when the world had only recently learned what these devices do in the first place. The fact that there is not a single shred of evidence for an arrest of something this crazy is something I find hard to believe,
I wouldn't be suprised if Hall bought an FBI challege coin on Ebay and invented this story to explain how he got it without saying "I got it on ebay."
Other dumb shit he says:
>device had an SD card to store the data
These things shit off an insane amount of IQ data per minute. Also he just causally pops some random SD card he found in a potentially dangerous item straight into his computer. Completely insane.
>claiming that a stingray if overloaded can stop emergency calls
Clearly demonstrates how the man does not understand cell phones, and how they are designed to talk to multiple towers at once.
>somehow knows which side to open because he somehow saw the guy drop a screw (never explained)
>pretends that the device could be trapped with a bomb or something.

this is how I know this guy's hacking experience is nonsense I used to hang out with a lot of the left wing anti government types some of which were computer programmers talking to the police in any context was considered a big no no.
Even in more of these conferences being an FBI stooge is considered basically being a system pig Jason proving that he's a wannabe of the highest order

Having messed around with everything from wideband hardware, to obscure and nebulously legal things like these... that story is beyond insane.
I'm laughing just as much Ferretfucker for making it up as I am these soy filled retards for knowing so little about their own subject matter they can't immediately shoot holes in this fable.
And who the fuck at Defcon of all places would hang out with someone who wants to be so willingly pozzed by the feds? Saint Terry Davis, if he were still with us, would have crucified this glowing pooner loving abomination.

There are some articles mentioning IMSI catchers at Defcon around 2016
Surprise! Scans Suggest Hackers Put IMSI-Catchers All Over Defcon
Defcon 2016 GSM Data
But if there were any arrest it would be big news for sure.
I think it was big topic around that time, so he glues himself into the story as a hero.

Most likely just taking a story, and making him the center of it. I'm no pro, but I've screwed around with phones and shit to know that one or few devices aren't gonna black hole everything in a conference. But you know what really sells it; some rando just shows up and puts a suspicious object out of sight while some other random watches the malicious actor. You're either the dumbest fucking nigger cattle stooge who's being setup; or this entire fucking story is fake. Unless your whole existence is to cause a distraction and take a fall; unless you're that guy, rule #1 of malicious action is DON'T BE FUCKING SEEN. That includes talking to people.
Oh pardon me random sir I've never seen before. Let us exchange words and you can watch me fiddle with a device, hide it under the furniture, and walk away. May as well throw in a "please don't look at it, very secret" with a fucking wink.

half of the offbrand business is shutting down, the games division is still sticking around but the events side of the company is shutting down.

Interesting move from the guy who boasted he had basically unlimited capital to just keep the company going forever. This feels very suspicious.

I mean, company is still around. But we waste money on aspect if you are seemingly handling it through something else already

He literally had a whole division of his "company" set up for events, used it to buy himself an award, then immediately shut it down. That's too good.

That's how you know Mald's is legit too. He's like one of those North Korean generals with a hundred medals who totally don't just give them to themselves.

Imagine being laid off because the shitty leadership of your company cannot figure out how to make the company profitable, and then reading this drivel from a leech who contributes nothing, telling you you are not "worth less, the company just can't afford you" and various other talking down to you nonsense. All that is missing is a few words about how Maldy cried when they made the decision to close shop and how this is hard for him, too. Retard.

Is there any version of stolen valor with this kind of thing? I'd think lying about obtaining official government awards would have some kind of protection around it.
Any time I find a random USB stick, or one is sent to me, I make sure to plug it into every computer I can just to be safe. Who knows, maybe it will stop my credit card info being stolen so often.

This is something you post internally to your workers, not publicly to get a massive dick sucking. Thanks Mald for letting everybody know how selfless you are.
Also if he's a Director of Strategy he's as much to blame for this, he should really just keep his mouth shut.

Well, at least something is finally finished that involves Mald.
Sadly its not his game.

Now that is an interesting development. I wonder if we'll get any stories from the fired employees about anything going on with that studio. Hell,it doesn't need to directly involve Mald.

Challenge coins aren't offical awards or the like, they're more like personal agency or unit collectibles to give as a neat little token for any number of reasons. They used to be a status symbol with elite units of military or law enforcement, but everyone and their grandma makes them now and hands them out like party favors so they're just a neat little token for the most part.
