A call from someone you love in crisis is terrifying enough - but what if the voice begging for help isn't really them? We break down how AI voice cloning is fueling virtual kidnapping scams, why panic is the weapon scammers count on, and the one conversation your family should have before the phone rings. If this happens to you, report it right away: if money changed hands, contact your local FBI field office or call 1-800-CALL-FBI; even if you didn't lose money, file a report at IC3.gov   Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

Brynly Llyr has deep roots in fintech and blockchain — in-house at eBay, PayPal, and Ripple, where she served as one of the first general counsels in crypto, then founding team at Celo, then Head of Blockchain and Digital Assets at the World Economic Forum. Now she's Deputy Commissioner for Digital Financial Assets at the California DFPI, leading the rollout of the Digital Financial Assets Law, which goes live July 1, 2026, covering exchanges, custodians, stablecoin issuers, and crypto kiosks across the world's fourth-largest economy.Ari Redbord, TRM's Global Head of Policy, sits down with Brynly to talk through what California is actually trying to solve. IC3 data puts the state at the top of the country for crypto-related fraud losses, with serious harm to elderly residents and teenagers under 17. Her thesis: licensed intermediaries that recognize fraud patterns are the most powerful lever a regulator has.They also dig into how blockchain's public visibility changes what supervisors can see in real time — and what that means for every licensed business managing its own risk. The conversation covers AI's role in regulation, what success looks like a year from now, and the universal experience of feeding teenage boys.

Interview with Evan Powell - Generative and agentic AI are improving cyberattacks faster than they're improving cyber defenses. Offensive folks have been having the most luck with AI so far, which is further eroding any advantage defenders might have had. Evan Powell joins us to share some ideas on how defenders can get some benefits from AI as well, and why open source is important with this approach. Topic For this week's topic segment, we've got two very interesting data sources. The first is Anthropic's first update on Project Glasswing, where they're absolutely tearing through codebases with ultra premium Mythos tokens, but then hitting a human-shaped bottleneck as they attempt to validate all the findings. The second is the first report from Root Evidence, the latest startup from Jeremiah Grossman and Robert Hansen (aka RSnake), which aims to help organizations filter out all the vulnerabilities that don't matter. Where these two reports meet in the middle is my concern that the use of AI to scour every last bug out of code is going to be the most Sisyphean task the cybersecurity industry has ever come up with (and we have some deep experience here). The Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, Less funding, more acquisition the AI SOC startup space is CROWDED your CEO is suffering from AI psychosis Some CISOs are done with the job, IT can have it detecting and removing dangerous secrets from dev workstations 230,000 security advisories roll up to 6 attacker behaviors The FBI's 2025 IC3 report is out When tech billionaires make predictions, they're actually sales pitches All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly.

What's up, fraud fighters, and welcome back to Fraud Forward!Before I was sitting in fraud strategy conversations, before I was talking about controls, governance, and layered defenses, before any of this, I was on the teller line. Face-to-face with members. Balancing speed, service, and that gut feeling when something just didn't sit right. And I'm telling you right now, that experience shaped everything I understand about teller fraud prevention today.Because here's the reality we don't talk about enough. We're building smarter systems. We're investing in AI. We're moving toward real-time monitoring and faster payments. And fraud is still scaling right alongside it. The latest IC3 report made that very clear. The numbers are growing. The losses are growing. And if we're being honest, part of the problem is that we're underestimating one of the most powerful fraud prevention tools we already have, our frontline.This episode is about resetting that perspective. It's about recognizing that fraud isn't just happening in data. It's happening in behavior. In hesitation. In subtle shifts that no system can fully capture yet. And that is exactly where teller fraud prevention becomes critical.Here is what that frontline-first fraud prevention mindset means in practice:· Recognizing that behavioral signals are often the earliest fraud indicators· Treating frontline staff as active participants in fraud risk management· Bridging the gap between transaction data and real-world interaction· Building fraud prevention strategy around human insight, not just automationWhat you'll hear in this episode:· Why teller fraud prevention is one of the most underutilized controls in banking· How frontline fraud detection captures signals that systems miss· A real-world scenario showing how behavioral fraud detection plays out· Why fraud prevention in banking must include human interaction layers· How financial institution fraud controls fail without frontline inputYou should listen to this episode if you:· Work in fraud risk management and want stronger frontline fraud detection· Are building a fraud prevention strategy in banking and need better alignment· Oversee teller teams or call centers and want to improve fraud awareness· Have seen fraud slip through despite strong systems and controls· Want to understand how human fraud detection signals impact real outcomesIf you liked this episode, be sure to subscribe and review the podcast on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Tis the season for romance scams! FBI Special Agent Jason Carley shares how you can protect yourself from digital would-be Casanova's or Svengali's and their attempts to seduce your money! If you've been targeted, let the FBI know at WWW.IC3.GOV.

Fraud usually gets talked about in numbers like how much money was stolen, how many people were affected, how many cases got filed. But behind every one of those numbers is a person who's been blindsided, manipulated, or left trying to rebuild trust in others and in themselves. This episode shifts the focus back to those human stories and the fight to protect them. My guest, Freddie Massimi, has spent more than a decade helping scam victims find both financial and emotional recovery, bringing empathy and understanding to a field that too often feels cold and procedural. As a certified financial crimes investigator and program manager at The Knoble, Freddie has made it his mission to bridge the gap between institutions and individuals. He shares the heartbreaking and hopeful moments that define his work including one phone call that saved a life. Along with how that experience changed the way he thinks about what true fraud prevention really means. Freddie also opens up about The Knoble's Post-Scam Victimization Guide, a collaborative, trauma-informed resource designed to help victims regain control of their lives and prevent re-victimization. From crypto scams to romance cons, he explains how these schemes keep evolving, why empathy is still one of the best tools we have, and how every fraud fighter can make a difference simply by listening and responding with humanity.

One of our main roles as educators is to support and help our young people figure out who they are and how they want to contribute to the world. Given our current context of rapid technological change with social, technological and ecological challenges, questions about decisions for university, training and future options for young people is becoming increasingly challenging. Similarly, for educators and career and college guidance counsellors too, to be able to continuously navigate this rapidly changing terrain.Back in May, 2023, I had a conversation on the podcast with some young people who were expressing exactly these concerns about decisions and choices they were making in their lives about what courses to choose, and what careers to pursue. Since then I've been really wanting to bring together a group of global experts around this question.

This week, our hosts ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave Bittner⁠ , ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Carrigan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (also host of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠T-Minus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start off with a celebration of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Joe's story is on how the North Wales Police are warning cryptocurrency holders after a victim lost £2.1 million in Bitcoin to a highly targeted scam, where criminals posing as police used a fake security breach story to trick them into entering their password on a fraudulent site. Dave has two stories this week, the first one from a Reddit user being targeted by the classic "White Van Scam," where scammers tried to sell cheap projectors as high-end equipment using a fake story and forged receipt. In his second story, the FBI is warning that cybercriminals are spoofing its official IC3 website to steal personal information and scam victims, urging users to type the URL directly and avoid suspicious links or fake social media pages. Maria has the story on two U.S. senators pressing Tinder parent company Match Group to step up efforts against romance scams, demanding details on how it detects fraud and protects users from criminals exploiting trust on its platforms. Our catch of the day comes from Reddit where a user was targeted by a scammer, but cleverly was able to get them to retreat.

Last year Americans lost more than $16 Billion dollars to scams. That's Billion with a B. While many of us believe we are savvy enough to spot a scam, the scammers are often one – or sometimes 2 or 3 – steps ahead.Anyone can become the victim of fraud, but seniors are much more vulnerable and often, have the most to lose.Since October is Cybersecurity Awareness month, I am going to share 10 tips to recognize and ward off scams in this episode of The Retirement Fix, a monthly podcast for less stress and more success in your go-go retirement years.I'm your host, John Gigliello, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ with the Albany Financial Group and I'm here to be your guide to keeping more of your hard-earned money by making smart financial decisions in retirement. This podcast is for people nearing or in retirement who want to learn more about proactive tax planning, retirement income planning, social security timing, investment management and asset protection.  After a life-altering health issue at age 39, my calling in life became clear: To share my knowledge of personal finance with people who are looking to make smart and responsible choices with their money.To find out more about the services I offer, visit https://www.jgigliello.com.When I say anyone can become the victim of cybercrime, I'm serious. Listen to these staggering 2024 statistics from the FBI:·         The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received more than 800,000 complaints about cybercrime, of which 250,000 cases resulted in actual losses.·         The average loss was just over $19K per victim, with total losses topping $16 Billion. ·         Losses due to cybercrime rose 33% in 2024 over 2023.·         Since it's inception in 2000, IC3 has received more than 9 million complaints.

In this episode, Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce CEO Bret Schanzenbach sits down with Lisa Carroll, president of Number Crunching, Inc., to explore her unique career path and specialized expertise in uncovering financial deception.Lisa shares her journey from humble beginnings in accounts payable and receivable to becoming a sought-after Certified Fraud Examiner. Initially recognized for her knack for unraveling messy financial records, she found her calling when an attorney asked her to testify in court on a fraud case. Encouraged by a judge who supported her despite lacking formal certification at the time, Lisa pursued and obtained her fraud examiner credentials, adding to decades of bookkeeping and accounting experience.She explains how her upbringing in a family of attorneys sharpened her ability to handle courtroom pressure with confidence. Today, she specializes in forensic bookkeeping—uncovering financial fraud in both divorce proceedings and business disputes. From identifying fraudulent personal expenses buried in company books to exposing multimillion-dollar embezzlements, Lisa thrives on what she describes as solving “financial puzzles.”Lisa emphasizes that her analyses are always “court-ready.” She tailors her reports so judges—who aren't accountants—can understand them clearly while ensuring every conclusion is backed by documentation. In some cases, she even serves as a neutral third-party appointed by the court to provide unbiased findings. Her role bridges investigative accounting with courtroom clarity, offering attorneys and clients confidence in the integrity of her work.Beyond business and family disputes, Lisa is passionate about protecting seniors from fraud. She highlights a staggering rise in financial scams targeting older adults, with estimated losses reaching nearly $20 billion annually. Drawing on her expertise, she partners with the FBI's Elder Justice Task Force and local law enforcement to present workshops at senior centers and community events, educating attendees about tactics such as AI-driven voice cloning scams. Her advice is straightforward: hang up, verify directly with loved ones, and always file reports with police and the FBI's IC3 system, even if the money seems unrecoverable.Throughout the interview, Lisa's enthusiasm for her work shines through. She describes each fraud case as a puzzle waiting to be solved and views her role as not only protecting financial integrity but also empowering individuals and businesses to take action when something feels wrong. For those seeking help—whether business owners, attorneys, or families—she encourages reaching out through her website, numbercrunchinginc.com, or by phone.

He points out, “Failure to plan is planning to fail,” and urges organizations to move beyond hope and into action.The conversation dissects misconceptions, such as thinking IT alone can handle a breach or believing cyber insurance is a comprehensive solution. Instead, Michael recommends building internal resilience with tabletop exercises that include the board, C-suite, legal, and communications staff. These scenario-based run-throughs help teams build muscle memory and prevent panic when disaster strikes.Third-party vendors—often a hidden weak spot—are addressed in detail. Michael reminds us, “You are the trusted data collector,” meaning nonprofits must ensure their vendors share the same security culture, including notification clauses and accountability.What if the worst happens? Michael stresses calm, communication, and preservation of evidence. “Don't delete anything,” he cautions, as doing so can sabotage forensic investigations and potential fund recovery. He also reminds leaders to report incidents to local authorities and the FBI's IC3.gov, reinforcing the legal and ethical responsibility to act swiftly and transparently.Perhaps one of the most human insights is around fostering a blame-free culture. Employees fearing punishment won't report mistakes, making things worse. “Everyone—even me—has clicked a phishing link,” Michael admits, highlighting the importance of openness and psychological safety within teams.This is a call to action for NPO leaders to shift from avoidance to preparedness. Cyberattacks are not just technical disruptions—they can financially and operationally dismantle an organization. With the right mindset, strategy, and comms plan, your nonprofit can weather the storm!00:00:00 Welcome and Episode Overview  00:02:00 The Evolution of Richie May's Cybersecurity Services  00:04:00 What Cyber Insurance Really Covers  00:08:00 Third-Party Vendor Risks and Due Diligence  00:12:00 Real-World Impact of Cyberattacks on Nonprofits  00:15:00 Why Response Planning Beats Hoping for the Best  00:17:00 Tabletop Exercises: Practicing Incident Response  00:20:00 Who to Call When a Breach Happens  00:23:00 First Response Steps: Breathe, Engage, Preserve Evidence  00:26:00 Creating a Culture Where Mistakes Are Reported  00:29:00 Episode Recap and Takeaway #TheNonprofitShow #CyberResilience Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Forecast = Scattered phishing attempts with a 90% chance of encrypted clouds. ‍ In this episode of Storm⚡️Watch, the crew dissects the evolving vulnerability tracking landscape and the challenges facing defenders as they move beyond the aging CVE system. The show also highlights the rise of sophisticated bot traffic, the expansion of GreyNoise's Global Observation Grid, and fresh tools from VulnCheck and Censys that are helping security teams stay ahead of real-time threats. In our listener poll this week, we ask: what would you do if you found a USB stick? It's a classic scenario that always sparks debate about curiosity versus caution in cybersecurity. It's officially cyber report season, and we're breaking down the latest findings from some of the industry's most influential threat intelligence teams. GreyNoise's new research spotlights the growing risk from resurgent vulnerabilities-those old flaws that go quiet for years before suddenly making a comeback, often targeting edge devices like routers and VPNs. The FBI's 2024 IC3 report is out, revealing a record $16.6 billion in reported losses last year, with phishing, extortion, and business email compromise topping the charts. Mandiant's M-Trends 2025, VulnCheck's Q1 exploitation trends, and other reports all point to a relentless pace of vulnerability weaponization, with nearly a third of new CVEs being exploited within 24 hours of disclosure. We also dig into a series of ace blog posts and research from Censys, including their push to end stale indicators and their deep dives into the sharp rise in attacks targeting edge security devices. Their recent work with GreyNoise and CursorAI on botnet hunting, as well as their new threat hunting module, are changing the game for proactive defense. VulnCheck's quarterly report is raising eyebrows with the revelation that 159 vulnerabilities were exploited in Q1 2025 alone, and 28% of those were weaponized within a single day of disclosure. This underscores how quickly attackers are operationalizing new exploits and why defenders need to move faster than ever. We round out the show with the latest from runZero and a look at GreyNoise's recent findings, including a ninefold surge in Ivanti Connect Secure scanning and a spike in Git configuration crawling-both of which highlight the ongoing risk of codebase exposure and the need for continuous vigilance.

The number of highly sophisticated crypto scams is growing, with Americans losing an estimated $5.6 billion to crypto-related scams in 2023, according to the FBI, a 45 percent jump from the prior year. And often crypto fraud is tied in with romance scams, with criminals targeting victims through texts, dating sites, social media, networking channels or other apps. While we all like to think we would be immune to such scams, research has shown time and again that everyone is vulnerable, even the most highly educated among us. On this episode, we hear the firsthand accounts of Jules and Brian, two victims of romance crypto scams, who recently spoke at a FINRA Foundation conference on disrupting the cycle of financial fraud. They sat down with Kim Casci-Palangio, program manager of the Cybercrime Support Network (CSN), to share their experiences, the financial, mental and emotional toll they took, and their efforts to recover from their loss. This audio was edited to remove personally identifying information about our victims.Resources mentioned in this episode:Cybercrime Support NetworkRomance Scam Recovery GroupFINRA FoundationFBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)Non-Traditional Costs of Financial FraudInvestor Alert: Relationship Investment Scams‘Pig Butchering' Scams: What They Are and How to Avoid ThemCrypto Investment Scams Infographic Find us: X / Facebook / LinkedIn / E-mail

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are issuing this public service announcement (PSA) to raise awareness of attempts to undermine public confidence in the security of U.S. election infrastructure through the spread of disinformation falsely claiming that cyberattacks compromised U.S. voter registration databases. PDF.

The BEC scam continues to target small local businesses to larger corporations, and personal transactions while evolving in their techniques to access those business or personal accounts. Between December 2022 and December 2023, there was a 9% increase in identified global exposed losses. In 2023, the IC3 saw a growth in BEC reporting where funds were sent directly to a financial institution housing custodial accounts held by third-party payment processors, or peer-to-peer payment processors, and cryptocurrency exchanges which directly contributed to the increase in global exposed losses. IC3 data shows the BEC scam has been reported in all 50 states and 186 countries, with over 140 countries receiving fraudulent transfers. Based on the financial data reported to the IC3 for 2023, international banks located in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong often acted as an intermediary stop for funds, followed by China, Mexico, and the UAE. The following BEC statistics were reported to the FBI IC3, law enforcement and derived from filings with financial institutions between October 2013 and December 2023: o   Domestic and international incidents: 305,033  o   Domestic and international exposed dollar loss: $55,499,915,582 o   Total U.S. victims: 158,436  o   Total U.S. exposed dollar loss: $20,089,561,364  o   Total non-U.S. victims: 6,546  o   Total non-U.S. exposed dollar loss: $1,638,490,375   All-Hazards. The disaster no major U.S. city is prepared for. Experts warn this type of catastrophe — a combined power outage with a heat wave — is a scenario that cities and states are unprepared for. “I don't think it's likely — I think it's an absolute certainty,” said Brian Stone, a professor and director of the Urban Climate Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “I think it's an absolute certainty that we will have an extreme heat wave and an extended blackout in the United States.”   Quick Hits:  FBI Publishes 2023 Cryptocurrency Fraud Report Hacker tricks ChatGPT into giving out detailed instructions for making homemade bombs Recorded Future: H1 2024: Malware and Vulnerability Trends Report Kentucky I-75 shooting suspect vowed over text to ‘kill a lot of people,' arrest warrant says

In this week's episode, Tracy speaks to Kristin Demoranville and Andrew Rose about “Hackers Targeting Canada's Food Supply.” It's true. Hackers are targeting Canada's food supply, and in today's episode, Tracy speaks to Kristin and Andrew, two cyber security professionals, about precisely what is happening. In this episode, they discuss: A string of ransomware attacks by Russian hackers are targeting Canada's agriculture sector and raising serious concerns about the safety of the food supply. Kristin shares more. Tracy remarks that since releasing their first episode together, serious cyber events have occurred, including the Co-op incident and the auto/machinery dealership parts system.

Coming to you live from Cape Canaveral, Florida. got offsetkeys and dogespan. dogespan: hello. offsetkeyz: we're going to bring you some tasty news. Up first, the FBI has sounded the alarm on a massive SMS phishing wave sweeping across the U. S., targeting unsuspecting individuals with bogus road toll debt notices as part of a sophisticated scam aimed at harvesting personal data. What can you do to protect yourself from falling victim to these SMS phishing scams? dogespan: Cybersecurity experts at Securi have unearthed a cunning credit card skimmer disguised within a fake Metapixel tracker script. Cleverly hidden in customizable code sections of widely used platforms like WordPress and Magneto. How can website administrators safeguard their platforms against such stealthy credit card skimming attacks? offsetkeyz: Alright, so the first story comes to you straight from the FBI, and what better way to deliver the news than to just read the memo that the FBI released. So, here we go. Since early March of 2024, the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3, has received over 2, 000 complaints reporting smishing texts representing road toll collection services from at least three states. The FBI does not mention which three states, so, good luck. The IC3 complaint information indicates the scam may be moving from state to state. Nice. The texts will look something like this. We've noticed an outstanding toll amount of 12. 51 on your record. To avoid a late fee of $50, visit some URL to settle your balance. dogespan: true. And offsetkeyz: true. dogespan: part offsetkeyz: part of the reason dogespan: that so many users have gotten hit, is because If I got a bill for 12, I'd click and pay. And offsetkeyz: the mail. The road department is going to know your phone number. They're not. Your license plate is linked to your address, and then they mail it to you there. dogespan: you there. So, offsetkeyz: So, any text you're getting probably isn't coming from them unless you signed up for it, in which case you would know. The texts claim the recipient owes money for unpaid tolls and contain almost identical language. The outstanding toll amount is similar among the complaints reported to the dogespan: the IC3. offsetkeyz: However, the link provided within the text is created to impersonate the state's toll service name, and phone numbers appear to change between states. ok so they're at least like masqurading as that state Yeah, they are, they are targeting specific states, yes. Which is an easy tactic to take, probably takes the attackers very little time, dogespan: oh yeah offsetkeyz: and is very effective. dogespan: Yeah. So if you receive one of these texts, the following is suggested file a complaint with the IC3 at www.IC3.gov texts I'm gonna admit, I'm actually really guilty of never reporting those names, those scams. I get them all the time. Text messages for like UPS deliveries and stuff. But also like, yeah, I never think of reporting it to the IC3. But I do tend to put on my security researcher hat and offsetkeyz: on dogespan: go click the link. On a safe device, it is always, don't try it at home unless you, you know, know how to virtualize and segment and all that stuff. Um, But yeah, that's usually my approach is I just want to learn what they're doing and I offsetkeyz: report it as dogespan: guess I need to report it as well because it's stopping at me if nobody else reports it. offsetkeyz: I, until you said that, I didn't even consider reporting anything to whom I didn't, I don't know. So I think I've mentioned before on the podcast that you can report things to the FBI, but I personally have never done it. So, yeah, I think both of us, both dogespan and I's takeaway is that we're going to start reporting stuff and imagine how many people also don't report things. So 2, 000 reports came in to the FBI. dogespan: in to the offsetkeyz: Is probably hitting hundreds of thousands of dogespan: people. Yeah, like a, I don't know, what is that, 10%? Yeah. offsetkeyz: What's the reporting rate? How do you study that? I don't know. Not my problem, but if it does happen to you, it really helps dogespan: FBI offsetkeyz: the FBI understand the severity of the situation by you reporting it and they can gather the information. That's your tax dollars hard at work. So make sure you get your bang for your buck there. dogespan: so there. offsetkeyz: So, Pennsylvania Turnpike officials have reacted to these threats by advising customers to avoid clicking on any suspicious links sent via text that claim to resolve outstanding toll amounts. So, by hearing that article, that's mentioned in the article from Bleeping Computer, so Pennsylvania is one of those states. Thanks. They emphasize the importance of deleting the phishing texts immediately, which is interesting. Additionally, the Pennsylvania State Police have issued warnings about these deceptive texts, stressing that the links lead to counterfeit websites designed to harvest personal information. So, they're not coming after money at this point. They're trying to get your credentials to unlock even more than dogespan: credentials to unlock even more than 12. Yeah, this is very offsetkeyz: Yeah, this is very smart, because those types of things keep a lot of people up at night. Unpaid debts, that people are very scared of the banking systems and the credit scores and all that stuff. So if you have this threat of an unpaid debt. And you have the means to afford to pay that unpaid debt, You're gonna go on and hastily pay that so that you can sleep well at night. So in the spirit of security awareness, what can you do as the listener to identify these types of smishing, it's a fun word to say, you should say it, smishing, smishing attack text messages. This podcast, I often mention hanging up the phone and calling the source or the claimed source of text messages or phone calls. So if you're getting a call from, or if you're getting a text message from this toll company, one way to verify is to go Google it, right? Google that toll company, find the website, don't click on the Google ad. Go find the actual listing for the website, go to that website, fill out a contact us form, And say, hey, I received a text that says I have unclaimed debts. Is that real? pro tip from someone who hasn't paid most of their toll fees. They don't. It's not urgent They they'll keep that debt on ya for a while and yeah it might go up a few pennies a couple pennies but honestly I don't think it does I think they come after that toll and that's it the only times I've seen it is if they're tied into the registrationl so when you go to renew your registration it. guys, dogespan: toll. Yeah. offsetkeyz: It might seem easy to pay 12, but you know, there's a lot more at risk than just 12 for your data. I'm, I'm curious if these attackers have infiltrated some sort of toll system, or if they're just shooting them off at random. Because the only other attack, which you had mentioned earlier, is the USPS or UPS package incoming, and what's crazy about that one, dogespan: about offsetkeyz: a family dogespan: one is I always have a package incoming when I get those. offsetkeyz: why are they texting me about my package? Oh, it's not them. I'm going to have to do some research into that because it's just occurring to me now that dogespan: me now offsetkeyz: I always have a package on the way. But luckily the attackers who have purchased that information, or the ones who are conducting the smishing of the UPS, haven't figured it all out yet. I have a screenshot from one of my most recent ones that came from a sexyboy69 at gmail. com text. That's the dogespan: That's the trend. Yes, they've been compromising email accounts to send these out. offsetkeyz: send these out. dogespan: Or they are making bogus. But I've gotten an AOL and a Yahoo before. offsetkeyz: Interesting. there's always some typos, so keep your eye out for typos. In the age of chat GPT and, and large language models, you don't really even have to speak English to get a coherent, smishing message out there. So like, honestly, attackers, there's no excuse for this. Come on, but dogespan: Keep offsetkeyz: keep, yeah, keep an eye out for those indicators. Check with the source. Don't click any links unless you're absolutely positive. Um, if anyone calls you, try to hang up. Like, I, I, you know, moment of truth, I received a call from, I believe it was Pretty Litter, cat litter delivery service, because I cancel my credit card once a year just to, you know, shed all the subscriptions and have to re subscribe, and right after I canceled it, they called and asked for 80 bucks, and I just gave them the new credit card number without calling back, and I felt icky about it. So, dogespan: Did your litter offsetkeyz: anyways, if someone calls you, doesn't matter who it is, Don't give them your credit card information, call them back. It's like, it's inconvenient, but it's going to save you a lot of hassle on the backend. dogespan: I was in that generative AI. Red teaming talk this morning. This, uh, this talk goes into a quick demonstration on a phishing text, er, a phishing email that was created to target a cyber security professional as a test. . So, they targeted Dave Kennedy in this phishing email. And What they did is they sent several GPT agents Scouring the web for personal information about Dave Kennedy. And one of the things that I think has been very prominent in his more recent endeavors is health and, offsetkeyz: know, taking dogespan: um, weight management, you know, taking care of your body, fitness, all of that. So it actually crafted up a really good phishing email that was like, hi, Dave. Um, This is the bodybuilding. com community representative or whatever, and we want to bring you on as a offsetkeyz: you on dogespan: community advocate offsetkeyz: advocate dogespan: or something. And it, it totally like spoke to his interests, and he even, he even said, like as he received that, they were tweeting him, like they gave him a heads up and everything, but he was like, I 100 percent would have clicked on offsetkeyz: have clicked dogespan: And it's a, that's a cyber security offsetkeyz: cyber security dogespan: Yeah. So these generative AIs are getting better and most attackers may not be using it to the full extent, but there will be ones out there that are going to be really good, like the lego. com one we talked about previously. Yeah, that might get me. offsetkeyz: lego. com one we talked about. You're probably going to get me, so there you go. What was that? Did they use ChatGPT officially? I'm mostly curious because, yeah, ChatGPT has built in, safeguards against any malicious activity, so if you ask it for anything that can be used maliciously, like craft a phishing text or craft something that someone would be manipulated by, it's gonna say no, so, dogespan: That goes into just tricking the AI, because you could very easily just say, Hey, you know, this person, here's a couple social media profiles, go find more info on them. And then you say, okay, you know, how can I appeal to this person's interest in an email or something? And offsetkeyz: that's a whole nother conversation we could get into where you can actually give prompts to ChatGPT to make it do whatever you want because large language models like ChatGPT are very smart and very dumb. And they are not very refined. So that's, that's super interesting. The talk that dogespan was mentioning is called Red, Blue, Purple AI, practical AI for security dogespan: security practitioners. offsetkeyz: the speaker is Jason Haddix. dogespan: Yeah, it was a really good presentation. offsetkeyz: Great job, Jason. Cybersecurity experts have uncovered a deviously camouflaged credit card skimmer masquerading as a seemingly harmless metapixel tracker script. Researchers at Sikuri have pinpointed this malware, which sneaks onto websites through seemingly benign tools that permit custom code. plugins such as Simple Custom CSS and JS. dogespan: or offsetkeyz: the miscellaneous scripts section of the Magento admin panel. So that's a little bit of technical jargon. to do a bit more research to figure out like what the heck is even a metapixel tracker. but if you've ever had a business or a website, and you've subscribed to Google Analytics, It's a little snippet of code that you can place in the HTML that allows Google Analytics to track web page visits and other data points on web traffic. And Facebook or Meta has the same sort of thing for your website. They do Facebook analytics. And so this Meta pixel tracker script is essentially that. You add it to your website and Meta is allowed to track it. So that. That isn't what's happening here, but it is what it's being disguised as. These little scripts are coming in and they're trying to look like Metapixel tracker scripts so they don't get picked up by signature detectors or things like that. But what they're actually doing, which is pretty interesting, is it's a piece of code that identifies if you're on a checkout page. So if your WordPress site has a shop, and that shop, Allows you to pay inside the WordPress app. That little snippet of code is able to identify that this is a checkout page. And it just turns on and starts listening for your credit card number. security Researcher at Securi. Securi, Highlighted the risk posed by custom script editors. Custom script editors are popular with bad actors because they allow for external third party and malicious JavaScript and can easily pretend to be benign by leveraging naming conventions that match popular scripts like Google jQuery. dogespan: Google Analytics or libraries like jQuery. offsetkeyz: Lol. dogespan: law, yeah, where the attacker will try to replicate what is normal within an environment. So in this case, it is the website. So they're masquerading as a typical analytics, but it has a malicious intent of scraping of the credit cards. So as mentioned before, this bogus script mimics the legitimate megapixel tracker. offsetkeyz: However, a deeper inspection revealed a sinister twist. It stealthily replaces references to the authentic connect. facebook. net with a malicious beconnected. com. This rogue domain is then used to load a harmful script, fbevents. js, which targets victims on checkout pages by deploying a fraudulent overlay designed to capture their credit card information. I see, I see. So, it may look exactly the same as the regular checkout page, but it's an overlay, and you're actually entering it into some sort of dogespan: sort of iframe or offsetkeyz: iframe, or div, or something else that's sending the information somewhere else. So it's crucial to note that beconnected. com itself is a legitimate e commerce website, which at some point was compromised to serve this skimmer code. WordPress is notorious for going, unup updated. There's so many plugins that all require separate security updates, and you're lucky if that plugin is still maintained and offering security updates. But since it's a commercial tool and often free, WordPress I mean, the people running their WordPress sites aren't the most security minded, or they don't have time to go in once a week and update their plugins. So, spoiler alert, the best way to combat this type of attack is to go into WordPress. And we're using WordPress as an example to go into WordPress and update your plugins, but also take a look at the users tab and just see if there are any users in there that shouldn't be in there. That would be a pretty key indicator. If there are, delete that user, revoke all login sessions. dogespan: yeah, offsetkeyz: don't know either. I bet they do. Or you can enable more verbose logging to get that information. But I think they do. And there are a lot of free security plugins out there. I don't know which one we use. But every time I go into the WordPress dashboard, it says 15, 000 login attempts blocked. And I said, great, keep blocking them. dogespan: Let me know when they get in. offsetkeyz: Yeah, let me know if there are any that weren't dogespan: are any that weren't blocked. Um, offsetkeyz: this is my first WordPress website. TheDailyDecrypt. com. Plug, plug, plug. Have you ever worked with WordPress before? Yeah, dogespan: experiment. Yeah, offsetkeyz: which is how this started out too. And when we started this, we started this together. dogespan: WordPress offsetkeyz: creates a default account for you. And the username is user and the password is always the same. I don't remember what it is because I promptly deleted that, but you can Google it and it will say, this is the default WordPress credentials. And I would imagine that many WordPress administrators out there without any technical expertise, continue to use those default login credentials. And so if you do. dogespan: do, offsetkeyz: It's very easy to access your WordPress admin portal and set this type of credit card skimmer up. dogespan: you remember if it prompts you at any point to offsetkeyz: It does not. dogespan: not. Fantastic. offsetkeyz: It does not, and it's actually kind of complicated to delete an account. I had a hard time. I don't know if I actually could delete it, but I did change the password if I didn't delete it and revoke admin privileges and do all this stuff, but yeah, WordPress is not designed around security. And I, I think it's just not talked about enough how bad it is to use default credentials. It's significantly worse than reusing passwords, even if those passwords have been compromised on the dark web. Using default credentials. Well, first of all, if you have a WordPress site. top The domain, followed by the top level domain, which is the daily decrypt, and then dot com, slash admin. A script can easily navigate, do a get, for all of these things, to check even if it's a WordPress site. And then once, if they've determined that it is, They can plug in the default credentials and get a count of how many they have now access to. It's very just, automatable. And that is the enemy of defense. You don't want any sort of attack vector to be automatable. You're gonna get got, you just are. So anyways. dogespan: gonna getcha. offsetkeyz: They're gonna get ya. dogespan: getcha. Literally, offsetkeyz: please reach out to us if you're a novice tech person who owns a WordPress site, especially if there's e commerce on there. Either of us would be happy to donate one of our evenings to helping you secure that. It would be mutually beneficial, and your consumers would have a lot more confidence in you. dogespan: And yeah, it'd be great. Yep. Oh yeah. That's true. We offsetkeyz: true. We should. We can replace the metaskimmer's web overlay. With uh, this skimmer has been taken down by the Daily Decrypt, and now all your credit information goes to us. Ha ha ha ha. Just kidding, that won't happen! dogespan: won't happen. Yeah, you offsetkeyz: Yeah, you just got to be our first subscriber to Patreon, which I do not want to do. dogespan: to do. It offsetkeyz: That sounds like a lot of work. you know what, we're not gonna do Patreon, we're gonna do OnlyFans. So, when we get our OnlyFans up, you better subscribe, as I mentioned at the beginning, we are here in Florida, we both flew in from our respective locations. We're visiting the Kennedy Space Center for HackspaceCon. dogespan: Center offsetkeyz: Day one, amazing. Loved it. But we have insider information that SpaceX is doing a launch in 30 minutes. and so we gotta go dogespan: We out. offsetkeyz: We got to make sure everything's safe in the in the low earth orbit or LEO So huge thanks to dogespan for being on as always huge. Thanks to me and uh Hey, dogespan: this. We'll talk to offsetkeyz: for being a part of it. dogespan: more offsetkeyz: We'll talk to you some more later

Scamming is an industry that seeks to trick and prey on the vulnerable through a variety of platforms.       Older people have been known to fall victim to fraud, but now younger adults are the targets and they're losing money to online shopping scams, phishing emails and fake jobs. Even phone scams continue to hit millions of Americans each year, costing nearly $40 billion in 2022. MPR News host Angela Davis talks about scams and how to be a smarter consumer. We also look at how scam artists have gotten smarter and why their tricks are getting harder to identify. Guests:   Marti DeLiema is an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota School of Social Work. Susan Adams Loyd is the president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Minnesota and North Dakota  Here are four key moments from the conversation. The following transcript has been edited for length and clarity. Click the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. What are some types of scams and who do they target? Marti DeLiema: We're seeing everything from online shopping scams to romance scams and tech support scams. It might not seem that the motivating factor is trying to get money from the victims since the scammer isn't asking for anything right off the bat. Scammers use mass marketing communication approaches like telephone, internet, email, so they really cast a broad net. There are certain scam types that certain types of people are more likely to take the bait on: older adults might be more susceptible to tech support scams versus young adults, who are more susceptible to online shopping or fake remote job offers. The push to remote work environments made a lot of people go online and look for these jobs. These criminals even do mock job interviews with candidates. Then the scammer sends you a check, for example, to purchase startup equipment, but then says the check accidentally was for too much money and asks you to send the difference back. You just write them a check, and a week later the bank gets in touch with you and says the check the scammers sent you was fake. A lot of people don't know about how those bogus checks work. Susan Adams Loyd: We see examples of that same check scam twisted, not only from a tech scam but to something very unsophisticated, like a refrigerator repair company. It's very simple to get people distracted in situations that they're not familiar with and those fraudsters know very carefully how to get little incremental steps towards you taking action that benefits them. People feel shame — they go underground and they don't even tell their friends. Maybe they will tell their spouse and their children if they're elderly. If you reported it to the BBB or Federal Trade Commission you might be able to get help, but if you are ashamed you don't go into a quick mode and therefore don't respond soon enough and that buys fraudsters time to get out of dodge with your cash in hand. Tell us about scammers trying to impersonate people, law enforcement, or companies Susan Adams Loyd: These scammers are good. They're quite sophisticated. They're actors. They're fraudsters. So they use scripts and role-playing, to really get to the heart of it, and they're good at it. They've done it enough times to work through the call, the timing of it, and the tone of it to make it sound real. I'm proud to say that in 2022, there were 87 callers who called BBB right before pressing send or right before responding. And, in real time, we did a rough count and saved $504,000 worth of money. BBB is a nonprofit organization, we're a non-government agency and we're here to help consumers for free. Marti DeLiema: I want to talk about one limit of consumer education, and this is something that has been coming up in my research. People do not make their best decisions when they're in states of high emotional arousal, when they're feeling deeply fearful, or when they're feeling deeply excited. So the criminals will do everything they can to get you in those emotional states right off the bat. Because then all of the warning signs, the visual warning signs, and even people expressing their concerns will be ignored and you will follow the scammer's orders. What's the federal government doing about scams? Marti DeLiema: Scams are a lot for just one office to handle a day. So one, they're a little overwhelmed. And two, it's kind of this multiple-pronged approach to fighting fraud. Consumer education is really important and also enforcement. Most of the crimes are international, they're not easy to identify or arrest, and that presents a challenge to law enforcement. Another area that they're working on is legislation: what can they do to enforce legitimate and real companies to do more to fight impersonation scams? I want to empathize with people who feel that nothing is being done. But this is just such a challenging problem, and technology is accelerating faster than we can keep up and enforce. What organizations can help people who have been scammed? Marti DeLiema: There is a government agency called the Internet Crime Complaint Center, or IC3. IC3 is an organization that takes your complaints, and they do have the ability to do a rapid response. If you can report within 24 hours, it's possible that they will be able to help you recoup those losses, especially if it's things like a wire transfer. After that, report to the Federal Trade Commission to be part of the consumer complaint. Susan Adams Loyd: AARP is one of our closest partners with the Better Business Bureau. The consumer education that AARP does on a national basis is tremendous. And we'd love to invite you to a “scam jam” where you can share your story with others. We get together and we figure out how to learn how to fight those scammers before they find us. So we have scam jams a couple of times a year with AARP. Your stories of scams Listeners called into the show and shared their stories. Here are some of them. An 84-year-old veteran loses $60,000 I was called by the CIA, supposedly. And I had my name come up in an automobile down in Texas that I was laundering money, and that I would have to pay a fine and be in prison unless I cooperated with them. They showed me their badges in a message and said: “In order to try and catch this guy we need you to take $30,000 out of your account. We will give it back to you as well as you help us.” So I sent it to someplace in California. And then I was dumb enough to do it again and sent the other $30,000 to somebody in New Jersey. When they didn't return the money, I called the number that I previously called to talk to them and that number had been disconnected. When I called the local police, I was quite surprised because they said, “You sent money out of the city so we can't do anything really for you. But go ahead and send me a report.” I called the FBI, called the bank. I'm a veteran, 84 years of age. Those were life savings. If it weren't for Social Security, I'd be on the street. — Sam from New Brighton A fake job found on Indeed.com I'm a young professional in Minneapolis, and I've been looking for a more big-girl job as they call them. I found this company, and it seemed too good to be true because they were offering a really big salary for an entry-level position. And I feel like that's a big red flag for anybody that is looking for a job. I had like three interviews with them and there was that kind of sense of urgency. A lot of times we would end an interview and they'd say, “Well, are you willing to send us this information by 5 p.m. today? it has to be today.” I would say be careful if you're looking on Indeed.com because a lot of fake workplaces actually put out ads on that website. — Christina from Minneapolis A fake illustration job may have been money laundering I'm a freelance illustrator and cartoonist and I was targeted by a checking fraud scam. In 2021, somebody contacted me saying they were an event planner, and that they needed illustrations for a COVID prevention workshop. They were smart. They knew exactly what to say to make it sound like a legitimate illustration job. They ended up sending the check for twice the amount they were supposed to send, and I was suspicious. But they emailed me before I had a chance to even ask about it. The business name printed on the check was a real business, and it had a real physical location. The routing number was from a real bank. I even asked a bank specialist who told me it looked real. After that, they started asking me for a refund. I didn't give them any money and I was waiting for the check to bounce, but it never did. It turned out that they stole the money from a legitimate account. And I guess maybe they were using me to launder it. — Lupi from Minneapolis Scams involving bail, jail and courts I've had a couple of experiences. The first happened to my father, who is in his early 60s. He was called and told that I was in jail and that he needed to send $15,000 in bail. Fortunately, he took the time that your previous caller mentioned, he called me and figured out what was going on. The second one happened to my sister-in-law, who's a medical doctor. She was almost scammed out of $6,000 through quite an elaborate situation where they found out she was a medical witness for patients of hers and they called her saying she was in contempt of missing her court date as a witness and needed to bring this cash immediately to a court station. This apparently happened to several of her colleagues. — Ryan from Mankato An Apple Pay scam while borrowing a phone One evening after work I stopped at the gas station to fill my tank and get some snacks. This gentleman came up to me and said he was having car troubles and if he could use my phone to call roadside assistance. I let him use my phone, and he called State Farm, roadside assistance on speaker. It didn't seem like they were really getting anywhere but he kept passing my phone back to me and it kept getting locked. He was asking me to put in my pin and open it again, and one of the times he passed me my phone to unlock it, the lock screen was white instead of black. After I drove off, I saw that he had attempted to charge $150 from my Apple Pay for his Google Voice number, and I realized that must have been what happened when the lock screen was white. — Kat from Minneapolis A potential client ends up being a scammer We used to live in Minneapolis. About seven years ago, my husband who works as a freelance document translator received an email from a potential client, which is typically how his business works. He spent two days working on a translation for this gentleman, and when the time came to invoice the guy, we got an envelope in the mail with traveler's checks. The man had obviously overpaid and asked us to go ahead and cash the traveler's checks and just return the difference to him. I'm an experienced business traveler and I knew by looking at them that they were fraudulent. I contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation in downtown Minneapolis because I figured this was mail fraud, and the agent who answered the phone basically said, “we get about a dozen of these a day and we can't be bothered chasing down these little things.” — Kathy from France Resources for scam help Throughout the conversation, the guests mentioned some resources that help people who have suffered fraud, or who feel in danger of being scammed.
