There's a really disturbing #Paypal #phishing scam happening right now. Obviously this reads like a typical phishing attempt (bad grammar, a malformed phone number to call, etc), but the official Paypal email wasn't spoofed. It came from PayPal's email infrastructure.

Examining the headers shows that SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all pass. If you have a Paypal account, please exercise caution. Don't click links in these emails. Forward them to [email protected].

Please boost for visibility.

hi, is this thing on

Notably, for the second year running (and same with all prior reports) (and the same across other IR and MDR providers), the report doesn't mention AI or Generative AI once.

Absolutely not popular to say that and always get next to zero engagement on LinkedIn, but let me be super clear on this one:

The threat to your business is foundational IT and security. The big incident that screws you over will be somebody pointing and clicking. Focus on what actually matters, not AI.

Hey, it's supposed to be Science FICTION!

Was doing some work and found this:

And it's no surprise for me. The algorithm is designed to maximize views and to suggest videos that are more probable for users to click. As humans are always insecure about something, our "obsession" with verifying our insecurities is picked up by the algorithm. This is why I see a huge rise of "sigma/alpha male" (🤮) content in society. Because the algorithm feeds off men's insecurities about male standards, thus promoting this content and to get "rewarded". Similarly to this case here.

YouTube algorithm suggests videos about disordered eating to some young users, new study says

YouTube’s policy states that it will remove or restrict content that ‘glorifies or promotes eating disorders’ but the study found that harmful content is still accessible on the social media platform
