Die 0APT Ransomware-Gruppe sorgt für Aufsehen – nicht mit Code, sondern wohl eher mit Köpfchen. Die Gruppe setzt offenbar auf psychologischen Druck statt auf klassische Hacks.

Vor wenigen Tagen meldete sich ein US-börsennotiertes Unternehmen bei uns, das auf der Leak-Seite von 0APT als Opfer aufgeführt wird. Das Brisante daran: Laut Aussage des Unternehmens gab es weder eine Kompromittierung noch eine Kontaktaufnahme oder Erpressung.

Zufall, Täuschung oder neue Taktik? Die ganze Geschichte erzählen wir in unserem nächsten Newsletter.

First human hacking attempt witnessed.

Partner got a call from an American number - a ‘dev’ from a corp he had interviewed with in the past (from LinkedIn) interested in working with his corp’s software. At 9:30pm last night - kinda makes sense as the main devs in America were still at work (answered the call in case it was a legit colleague).

Around the banter with someone with a perfect American accent…

Are you still working with containers? (Obvious from the website, so yes).

How do you handle cybersecurity? Does your corp have an external provider or an internal team? Are you in that team? (Sorry, not responsible for that, can’t help you).

Phishing doesn’t break systems - it breaks people. Pretext, urgency, and bias form the perfect trap. Smart minds still fall.

Der #Hype um die #Dubai #Schokolade zeigt nicht nur, wie richtig gutes #Marketing funktioniert, sondern auch, wie locker, flockig und leicht es ist, Menschen zu manipulieren.
Du musst den Leuten nur einen unwiderstehlichen Köder vor die Nase halten und zack, schon hast du sie an der Angel und im Netz.

It's time to formally introduce myself here! Hi, I'm Rachel Tobac 🤖​🤟​ I'm a hacker and the CEO of SocialProof Security. We help orgs mitigate human-based cybersecurity threats with training, talks, videos, demos, workshops & pentests.

You'll see me talk about human-based hacking, up to date social engineering tactics in the news, the latest human factor security tips, tricks to catch cyber criminals, and more.

Fun facts:
- Used to perform improv (and before that, musical theater) before I got into hacking. Improv is super helpful in my human-based hacks and musical theater is helpful for my shanties.
- I got 2nd place in the social engineering contest at DEF CON three years in a row. Consistency is key lmao
- My degree is in Neuroscience. I focused on Behavioral Neuroscience and worked on rats in college -- yes, I successfully kept every rat subject alive during brain surgery!
- I have the cutest rescue dog named Snugs, I'm sure you'll see me post pictures of him here.
- My career path was super non linear: Neuroscience and Behavioral Psychology degree > Teaching > Community Management > UX Research Lead > Hacker > CEO. I love to hear about other non linear career paths.
