Crypto losses increase 66% in 2024 At first you may be saying I thought Bitcoin has been increasing in value? While that is true, you have to remember that is only one of the many thousands of cryptocurrencies that are available. According to the FBI in 2024, there was 149,686 complaints for total losses of $9.3 billion. It was somewhat surprising to learn that people over 60 years old, who I thought knew better than to gamble with cryptocurrencies, was the most with losses totaling nearly $3 billion. If you live in California, Texas or Florida that's where the most complaints came from with a cumulative loss of $3 billion. Mississippi was also largely impacted as the number of crypto scams per thousand was the highest at 42.1. Even though there are a far higher number of investors and larger dollars in stocks, the SEC reported nationwide just 583 enforcement actions for stock scams or stock complaints in 2024. These complaints included charges against advisors for untrue or unsubstantiated statements. Interesting to note there's now something called AI washing, which charges firms for making false or misleading statements about their use of artificial intelligence. It is hard to make a comparison of stock scams and fraud versus cryptocurrencies, but with the far higher number of people investing in stocks vs cryptocurrencies I think it is safe to say that your risk of being scammed in stock investments is far lower than being scammed when dealing with cryptocurrencies. So not only are you taking a higher market risk by investing in cryptocurrencies, but you are also taking on the risk of being ripped off as well.   Have ETFs become too complicated? The first ETF, which stands for exchange traded fund, was launched about 30 years ago. They were simple in design and you generally bought them because they held a set group of stocks or bonds using an index and charged a low fee. Today, there are now over 4000 ETFs that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. This is more than the 2400 individual stocks listed on the exchange. In 2024 alone, 700 new ETFs were launched and 33 of those tracked cryptocurrencies. The assets have ballooned to $11 trillion and now account for 1/3 of money invested in long-term funds. Some of that growth has come from open end mutual funds, which have lost $1.2 trillion in the past two years. There are now 1300 active ETFs, which actually manage the portfolio for you like a mutual fund. A big difference is those funds can now be sold during market hours. With open ended mutual funds, you have to wait until the close of the market and then sell at the closing net asset value for the day. Nearly half of the 1300 active ETF were launched last year. It gets difficult for investors with over 4000 choices to decide which is best. Back in 2020, Cathie Wood grew to fame with her actively managed ARK Innovation ETF. The fund shot up 150% that year and assets hit $28 billion. Today, the NASDAQ composite has a five-year cumulative return of 108% and the ARRK fund has seen a decline of 2% and the assets are now under $7 billion. If you're investing in an ETF to benefit from commodities, understand generally they use future contracts to track the underlying commodity. Commodity futures are not a perfect vehicle and they generally work better for speculators that do short-term trading. One exception to this is the SPDR gold shares which is a trust that holds the actual gold. In my opinion, it is far easier to analyze one company to invest in and then build a portfolio rather than trying to understand some of these ETFs that can use leverage or future contracts or whatever. I worry investors could be blindsided when they least expect it.    What is a dark pool exchange? A dark pool exchange is an off the exchange platform where institutions can trade without broadcasting their buying or selling intentions publicly. People wonder why when we invest at Wilsey Asset Management we buy a company with the intent of holding it 3 to 5 years. For those who think they can do better by trading you are taking a toothpick to a gun fight. Exchanges and market makers make up nearly 87% of the daily trading volume, but these dark pools are trying to step in and do more of the trading, which I believe will leave the small investor in the dark and they might not know what certain stocks are trading at. I'm getting rather disgusted with how Wall Street is acting like the Wild West. FINRA another regulatory body seems to be OK with this and will be collecting fees from the dark pools. Fortunately, for the past two years, the SEC has not approved this form of trading, but with the new administration and the new SEC chairman, who seems to love the Wild West of trading, I'm sure we'll see more of this craziness going forward. This does not mean that investors on Wall Street cannot do well. To be frank, I don't care if we miss a penny or two on a trade since we are looking down the road 3 to 5 years, but if you're doing multiple trades per day that penny of two adds up. This also seems to be adding a lot more volatility to the markets. This volatility will scare investors out of good quality investments because of what they are seeing on a daily basis and not understanding what is going on behind the scenes. Remember if you are investor, you are investing in a small piece of a large company and there are millions if not billions of shares that are trading so don't worry about the short-term movements. Instead, make sure the investment you made was of good quality with sound earnings and a strong balance sheet that can weather any storm, even these dark pools.   Financial Planning: Is Social Security Now Tax-Free? One of the major topics surrounding the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) was the taxation of Social Security. Now that the bill has been signed into law, we know that the method used to tax Social Security remains unchanged—but many seniors will still see their overall tax liability go down. Most states, including California, do not tax Social Security. Federally, between 0% and 85% of benefits are reportable as income, meaning at least 15% is always tax-free. The taxable portion is based on a retiree's combined income, which includes adjusted gross income, tax-exempt interest, and half of their Social Security benefits. This formula was not changed by the OBBB. However, the standard deduction is increasing substantially, which reduces taxable income and, in turn, lowers overall tax liability. Prior to the bill's passage, a married couple aged 65 or older would have had a standard deduction of $33,200 in 2025 ($30,000 plus $3,200 for age). Starting in tax year 2025, that deduction can be as high as $46,700—a $13,500 increase. This results from a $1,500 increase to the base deduction for all filers, plus an additional $6,000 per person for those over age 65. Importantly, this extra $6,000 per senior (up to $12,000 per couple) is not technically part of the standard deduction—it is an above-the-line deduction that can be claimed even by those who itemize. This add-on begins to phase out when Modified Adjusted Gross Income exceeds $150,000 and is fully phased out above $250,000. As a result, taxpayers in the 10%, 12%, and 22% brackets are most likely to benefit. So, while Social Security is still taxable, more of that income may now be shielded from taxes due to the expanded deductions. Additionally, the bill prevents the federal tax brackets from reverting to higher 2017 levels in 2026. The brackets will now remain at 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%, instead of increasing to 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, and 39.6%. For retirees with taxable Social Security or other ordinary income, this means lower effective tax rates moving forward. In short, Social Security is still taxable—but seniors will likely pay less, or even nothing, thanks to these changes.   Companies Discussed: Tripadvisor, Inc.

Parents, teachers and advocates gathered to celebrate 60 years of Head Start, a federally-funded child care program for low-income families. The group also celebrated continued funding after President Donald Trump dialed back on a proposal to cut the program.

One year ago, Columbia University became ground zero for the student-led Gaza solidarity encampment movement that spread to campuses across the country and around the world. Now, Columbia has become ground zero for the Trump administration's authoritarian assault on higher education, academic freedom, and the right to free speech and free assembly—all under the McCarthyist guise of rooting out “anti-semitism.” From Trump's threats to cancel $400 million in federal grants and contracts with Columbia to the abduction of international students like Mahmoud Khalil by ICE agents, to the university's firing and expulsion of Student Workers of Columbia-United Auto Workers union president Grant Miner, “a tremendous chilling effect” has gripped Columbia's campus community.

International students are being abducted and disappeared by ICE in broad daylight. Life-saving research projects across the academy are being halted or thrown into disarray by seismic cuts to federal grants. Dozens of universities are under federal investigation for their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, their allowance of trans athletes to compete in college sports, and their tolerance of constitutionally protected Palestine solidarity protests. In today's urgent episode of Working People, we get a harrowing, on-the-ground view of the Trump administration's all-out assault on institutions of higher education and the people who live, learn, and work there.

On Tuesday, April 8, unions, unionized federal workers, and their supporters around the country mobilized for a national “Kill the Cuts” day of action to protest the Trump administration's cuts to life-saving research, healthcare, and education programs. As organizers stated on the Kill The Cuts website,  "By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These cuts are dangerous to our health, and dangerous to our economy. On Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 workers across the country are standing up and demanding NO cuts to education and life-saving research." In this on-the-ground edition of Working People, we take you to the front lines of the Kill the Cuts rally that took place in Washington DC, and we speak with workers and union representatives whose lives and work have already been affected by these cuts.Speakers include: Margaret Cook, Vice President of the Public, Healthcare, and Education Workers sector of the Communications Workers of America (CWA); Matt Brown, Recording Secretary of NIH Fellows United (United Auto Workers Local 2750); Rakshita Balaji, a post-baccalaureate researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH); and Amanda Dykema, shop steward for American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 1072 at the University of Maryland, College Park.Additional links/info: Kill the Cuts website NIH Fellows United website Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “What's really behind Trump's war on federal unions?” Jocelyn Kaiser, Science, “NIH under orders to cancel $2.6 billion in contracts” Permanent links below… Leave us a voicemail and we might play it on the show!

Stock market experts and loyalists to The Felon President were ecstatic about yesterday's huge rebounds in the market due to Trump pulling back almost all the tariffs he proposed, which was due in part to the bond market. But that was yesterday, today, during the show, we witnessed fluctuations leading the Dow Jones to tumble 2000 points (at the time of this posting, the loss is over 1800 points), but don't worry, it's only money, so stop whining. We also take a look at a disgraced former Milwaukee Police officer who is a part of the mass deportation effort. Then, Jim Santelle, host of Amicus: A Law Review is here to talk about free press getting their day, Federally funded SLAPP suits, our Federal Judges holding onto the guardrails and the reiteration of due process for all under The US Constitution.

From removing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives to suspending foreign aid and canceling federal funding, it is clear that the current administration is drastically changing the landscape of government-funded research as we know it. What should research institutions be doing now to best prepare themselves for what's to come?  On this episode, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Marylana Saadeh Helou, Emily Chi Fogler, and Elizabeth McEvoy discuss how recent executive actions are impacting federally funded research at ambulatory medical centers, hospitals, universities, and other institutions, as well as how these actions may impact existing or future grants from the government.

The federal government has spent nearly $3 billion on electric vehicle infrastructure. So far? Only 214 individual chargers have been built across the entire country. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to unpack how taxpayer dollars are being funneled into inefficient, top-down government programs that promise a cleaner future—but deliver very little. They take a hard look at two major Department of Transportation programs that were supposed to make EV charging more accessible nationwide. Instead, Mosteller reveals how the money has been doled out in lump sums to states, who then hand it over to private companies—regardless of whether there's actual demand for chargers. In one case, chargers are popping up in areas where no one even drives electric vehicles, including rural towns in North Carolina. Meanwhile, billions continue to be allocated without meaningful results or oversight. The episode also dives into other examples of government overreach and inefficiency—from a $2 million grant to train students how to fly drones, to fuel economy regulations that will raise car costs for working Americans. And in perhaps the most jaw-dropping revelation, the Department of Transportation still processes federal retirements on paper—stored in filing cabinets inside a limestone mine in Pennsylvania. This is part of the “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series, where David and Jeremiah are working toward a bold goal: identifying $2 trillion in federal spending cuts. If you believe innovation comes from the ground up—not from Washington D.C.—and that government should be accountable for how it spends your money, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

Could this move by the federal government be a solution to Utah's high housing prices? The Trump administration making a move to open up federally controlled lands for homes to be built. We speak to KSL Reporter Adam Small and Utahns about the new proposal and ask "Could you live off the grid?". Taylor Morgan, Co-Host of Inside Sources and Political Insider shares his insight. Legal Director for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, Steve Bloch explains the concerns they have with this proposal.

West Virginia's reliance on federal funds to help address deeply ingrained issues makes it particularly vulnerable to President Donald Trump's freeze on spending on federal loans and grants. Federally funded programs provide social safety nets and employment in one of the nation's poorest, most rural states, where nonprofits play a vital role in providing basic services like healthcare, education and economic development. Coalfield Development helped leverage almost $700 million for projects tied to Biden administration spending packages—funding 1,000 jobs in West Virginia alone. Part of the nonprofit's role is to recruit and train the local workforce for the projects—something personal for CEO Jacob Hannah, who comes from three generations of coal miners and saw his father laid off from the mines. Hannah toured a former coal train refurbishment factory slated to become a manufacturing hub and business incubation space where workers should have been busy with rewiring, brick and roof repair. "So we took it on as a nonprofit to revitalize it for the community around us," said Hannah. "We'll use workforce development to do that. We train folks to have careers in construction so we want the space to have a new vibrancy inside it." Hannah's projects are now on pause indefinitely. Hannah said his organization received communications that their awards are “under review” with limited details. Alecia Allen runs a therapy practice and grocery store in a low-income neighborhood in West Virginia's capital called Keep Your Faith Corporation. She wasn't getting answers from federal agencies about the grants that help her work with farmers to provide local, healthy food to her community at a lower cost. Then a vendor she buys from to stock store shelves told her that her weekly bill was going up from $500 to $850 because of tariffs. "Our scope of work is not political," said Allen. "We just want to move the health of the state forward and we don't want that to be impacted by what's happening at the political level." This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Oregon Health & Science University has been facing a series of mounting challenges in recent months, including its proposed merger with Legacy Health, which is being reviewed by the Oregon Health Authority. If approved, OHSU would control five of the six hospitals in Multnomah County, according to a report issued by OHA last November.  OHSU has also had to contend with the departure of prominent executives such as the interim head of its health unit last month, and Dr. Brian Druker, a world renowned cancer researcher, who resigned in December as CEO of the Knight Cancer Institute. Among the reasons Druker shared with OPB for his decision included low staff morale, a lack of trust in OHSU’s leaders and the organization’s cost-cutting measures, such as its decision to lay off more than 500 employees.  Leading OHSU during this turbulent time is Steve Stadum. The board of directors appointed him as interim president in November, marking his return to the organization which he first worked at more than 25 years ago. Stadum joins us to share his vision for OHSU and how he aims to navigate its internal and external challenges, including threats to federally funded research from the new Trump administration.

Video Episode: https://youtu.be/lEaBTx6FvCI In today’s episode, we dive into the alarming rise of Linux malware “perfctl,” which has stealthily targeted millions of servers for cryptomining over the past three years. We discuss the critical CVE-2024-29824 vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager, exploited for unauthorized SQL injection, and the ongoing threats posed by the North Korean APT group Stonefly, known for their intricate cybercrime tactics. Additionally, we explore the disturbing trend of cybercriminals leveraging compromised cloud credentials to operate sexualized AI chat bots, highlighting the urgent need for improved security practices. Sources: 1. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/linux-malware-perfctl-behind-years-long-cryptomining-campaign/ 2. https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2024/10/03/cve-2024-29824/ 3. https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2024/10/03/private-us-companies-targeted-by-stonefly-apt/ 4. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/10/a-single-cloud-compromise-can-feed-an-army-of-ai-sex-bots/ Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction 01:06 – AI powered s3x bots 03:13 – Ivanti SQL Injection 04:08 – Perfectl Linux Malware 05:33 – APT45 StoneFly Attacks US companies 1. What are today’s top cybersecurity news stories? 2. What is the Linux malware “perfctl” and how does it work? 3. How is the Ivanti Endpoint Manager flaw (CVE-2024-29824) being exploited? 4. What activities are linked to the Stonefly APT group targeting US companies? 5. How are stolen cloud credentials being used for AI-powered sex chat services? 6. What vulnerabilities does CVE-2024-29824 address and why is it critical? 7. What measures can organizations take to detect the “perfctl” malware? 8. What are the implications of the Stonefly APT’s recent attacks on private companies? 9. How did researchers demonstrate the abuse of AWS Bedrock for illegal activities? 10. What security best practices can prevent cloud credential theft and misuse? perfctl, Linux, Monero, vulnerabilities, Ivanti, SQL injection, cybersecurity, remediation, Stonefly, cyberattacks, Preft, malware, cloud credentials, AI-powered, child sexual exploitation, cybercriminals, # Intro In a shocking revelation, a stealthy Linux malware named “perfctl” has been exploiting server vulnerabilities for over three years, using advanced evasion techniques to secretly mine Monero cryptocurrency on countless systems worldwide. This elusive threat not only disrupts normal operations by maxing out CPU usage but also deftly vanishes when users log in, making detection extremely difficult for many administrators. How do adversaries exploit vulnerabilities to gain initial access to systems with the perfctl malware? Hackers are actively exploiting a critical SQL injection flaw in Ivanti Endpoint Manager, prompting US federal agencies to rush and remediate the threat by October 23, 2024. Despite Ivanti’s urgent patches, details of the attacks remain sparse, spotlighting the pressing need for effective cybersecurity measures. Why does this particular vulnerability pose such a significant risk compared to others? North Korean APT group Stonefly, undeterred by legal indictments, is intensifying its financially-motivated cyberattacks on US companies, leveraging a unique arsenal of malware and tools. Despite failed ransomware attempts, their distinctive Preft backdoor confirms their tenacity in pursuing targets with no direct intelligence value. Why has Stonefly shifted their focus from espionage to financially-driven cybercrime in recent years? A staggering rise in stolen cloud credentials is fueling an underground market of AI-powered sex chat services, with cybercriminals bypassing content filters for disturbing role-plays involving child sexual exploitation. As security researchers lay bare the chilling implications of compromised AI infrastructure, the industry scrambles for solutions to thwart this escalating threat. **Question:** How are cybercriminals leveraging stolen cloud credentials to evade content restrictions on AI, and what are the financial and ethical implications for the victims? # Stories In this episode, we discuss a recent discovery by Aqua Nautilus researchers of the Linux malware “perfctl,” which has been running a covert cryptomining campaign for over three years. This malware has targeted potentially millions of Linux servers, using advanced evasion techniques and rootkits to remain largely undetected. Perfctl primarily uses compromised servers to mine the Monero cryptocurrency, exploiting misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2023-33246 in Apache RocketMQ and CVE-2021-4034 in Polkit, for initial access. It operates stealthily, disguising processes and using TOR for encrypted communications. The malware also deploys proxy-jacking software for additional revenue streams. System administrators often notice infections due to 100% CPU usage, though perfctl halts its activities as soon as the user logs in. Due to its evasive and persistent nature, typical removal methods are ineffective, with a full system wipe and reinstall recommended to ensure complete removal. Aqua Nautilus suggests monitoring system directories, CPU usage, and network traffic, alongside patching known vulnerabilities, to detect and prevent perfctl infections. Certainly! Here's a list of ten important terms and nouns from the article, each followed by a brief definition particularly related to cybersecurity: 1. **Linux**: An open-source operating system known for its robust security features and wide use in servers and workstations. In cybersecurity, it’s crucial as many servers run on Linux, making them targets for attacks like the mentioned malware. 2. **Malware**: Malicious software designed to infiltrate, damage, or disable computers and networks. It is important because it can weaponize for financial gain, as in cryptomining without consent. 3. **Cryptomining**: The process of validating cryptocurrency transactions and adding them to the blockchain ledger, in this context, unauthorized use of others’ computer resources to generate cryptocurrency like Monero. 4. **Rootkit**: A set of software tools that enable unauthorized users to gain control of a system without being detected. Rootkits are important in malware because they allow it to remain hidden and maintain persistent access. 5. **CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures)**: A list of publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. CVEs are critical for understanding and mitigating known vulnerabilities that attackers might exploit as seen with CVE-2023-33246 and CVE-2021-4034. 6. **Monero**: A cryptocurrency known for its privacy features, making transactions challenging to trace. Important in cyber threats like cryptomining, as attackers use infected systems to mine Monero for profit. 7. **TOR**: Short for The Onion Router, a decentralized network to anonymize internet traffic through encryption and relay techniques. It is crucial for maintaining anonymity in cyber operations, as noted in the malware’s communication method. 8. **Userland rootkits**: Types of rootkits that operate in the user space and manipulate user-level applications to evade detection, demonstrating advanced techniques for obscuring malicious activities and maintaining control. 9. **Apache RocketMQ**: An open-source messaging server often used in enterprise environments. Its mention highlights how vulnerabilities in widely used software such as CVE-2023-33246 can be critical entry points for attacks. 10. **Indicators of Compromise (IoC)**: Forensic evidence of potential intrusion or malware activity within a network or system. Recognizing IoCs is essential for detecting and responding to security breaches like those associated with perfctl. This list encompasses important cybersecurity concepts relevant to understanding and contextualizing threats, detection, and protection mechanisms discussed in the article. — On today’s podcast, we’re discussing a critical security flaw in Ivanti Endpoint Manager, known as CVE-2024-29824.
