The U.S. is working on extraditing three suspects from Europe in a case involving more than $100 million in fraud from CEO impersonations.

Nice try scammer, but I’m not going to reply if you call me “Karen.”

1. This is so horrible. The scammers here are absolute scum. 2. It's good that all these unregulated, ever more powerful AI applications have just been shoved out there for any scammer or criminal to use as they please, huh? (It is not good).

This is one of my favorite projects we've done at @greenarcher.io, I hope you'll consider backing the campaign. You get some cool comics with beautiful art and we get to keep paying people to make that art!

This is what @alexfalcone.bsky.social would call an “unfun fact” but it’s still a good fact to have.

A fun fact is that the Dem in this race, Cait Conley, was the head of election security at CISA under the Biden admin. Is that fact fun? It's fact at least. And I typed it here, and am about to hit send. And you read it.

Anyway I think Cybersecurity Awareness Month actually worked this year.

This is one of the earliest comics we created AND still one of my favorite because we let cybersecurity people tell their stories. It's also on sale! So you can save a bunch of money, get a cool comic and support a small business. Plus, the more we sell the more likely I am to make another one.

Green Archer Comics - Where Legends Live!@greenarcher.io · 2w ago

A few years back we put together an anthology by and for the Cybersecurity community with 44 pages of stories written by cybersecurity experts. Some illustrated by themselves others by our artists. It's on sale for cybersecurity awareness month. $4.99 for the print comic and #1 for digital.

Today's interesting, newly registered ransomware-themed domains are: gegen-ransomware[.]nrw gemeinsam-gegen-ransomware[.]nrw wehr-dich-gegen-ransomware[.]nrw .]nrw is a TLD for organizations in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). Germany has been hit hard by ransomware this year, so it makes sense.

I missed this last month from Barracuda, but this is interesting research. So much of ohishing protection revolves around domain checking, but if the URLs only exist for a short time and only exist locally, they are much harder to detect.

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social shared this a few years ago and, even though it was never used, I love how it shows the connective tissue from Buck Rogers to Star Wars. So much so that even 50 years after its creation it was a powerful marketing draw.

This is a good breakdown of the @wired.com interview with Nathan Fielder about I Can See Everything. I’m sure this has been speculated about before, but what would it be like if Nathan Fielder and @ichotiner.bsky.social interviewed each other?
