Involuntary criminals behind #pigbutchering #scams
A book in English, a movie in Chinese, and a slew of media are now shining light on fascinating (and horrifying) aspects of a scary trend in #humantrafficking. Many low-level #scammers have in fact been coerced into conducting crimes. They leave their homes with hope of getting stable employment, but once they find themselves in foreign country—usually Myanmar, Cambodia, Philippines—are held captive and unable to leave

We were wrong about the above — #BendigoBank is not man-in-the-middled by CloudFlare…

It's #MITM'd by #AmazonCloudFront

The landing and product pages were CloudGlare, and its seems CloudGlare palm the hapless Aussie to (sc)amazon, to watch and control the actual #banking portal part of the site.

It seems the Magic Money Tree is only available to help the #Tories’ pals operate #PPE #scams. When it comes to keeping #children safe, not so much.
It’s almost as if Jeremy Hunt was lying when he said the Govt would spend whatever it takes, knowing his comments would garner positive headlines, but having no intentions of actually providing any #money.

So when scammers post on Instagram about giving money away to whomever messages them a code word, are they A/B testing a message or a type of account or what? I assume that the code word is for tracking, but what do they get out of this?

#Cybersecurity #Phishing #Scams #Montenegro: "“Howdy Joseph,” the July email I got from Zdravko Krivokapić, who was the Prime Minister of Montenegro until last year, read.

Obviously, this wasn’t actually Krivokapić emailing me. Instead, it was a hacker who had gained access to what seemed to be Krivokapić’s personal Gmail account. The hackers proceeded to send me a mass of alleged documents from the government of Montenegro, including some related to the country’s Ministry of Finance. Alongside those, the hacker also sent photos of cash, flashy watches, and weapons, which appear to be from the hacker’s own collection and not the former Prime Minister’s.

Beyond wanting to flex their access to Krivokapić’s account, the hacker said they might use the compromised email to then target other services, using the former Prime Minster’s identity as a cover."

Pretty bad #phishing scam in my email today. The letter claims to be from #Youporn and asserts that my image has been used in porn on their site, and that they won't remove it unless I pay them significant money in Bitcoin to the wallet linked. I happen to be fairly alert to these #scams, but this could fool someone who has sexted with an ex who they now are on bad terms with. I tried to report it to Youporn, but their contact form is thoroughly broken.

#SocialMedia #China #Twitter #Sextortion #Scams: "- Chinese sextortion scammer accounts have flooded X (previously Twitter) since April after the platform introduced a new blue-check policy allowing users to buy verified badges.

- Scammers target the Chinese community’s most prominent voices, alienating many users who had turned to the platform as a crucial news source outside the Great Firewall.

- Some users have decided to take matters into their own hands, organizing online campaigns and creating software to identify, block, and harass scammers."

@mhalila All those "#CarbonCredits" and "#CarbonOffset" thimgs are just #scams to milk gullible consumers and businesses...

Instead of selling "renewable energy" at a premium, how about we make all energy renewable instead?
