New business models, more victims (YOU?), increased profits
Technology is always coming up with something new, so are threat actors. Always hesitate when giving out personal information and think twice before you send money to anyone - even if it’s someone you think you know. With AI, the person you’re talking with over the phone or video chat might not be who you think it is. A proactive and layered security approach is the most effective defense.
Imposter (voice) Scams on the Rise
They didn’t ever go away but they are rising. Reasons for the increase in a particular type of scams are usually because they have seen success in it. This week’s news is quite like the others but they are giving a lot more punch than usual. We must stay vigilant and keep vigilant. Each time you are doing something your gut tells you not to, most likely your gut is right. Double check on the identity of the person you think you know. It’s ok.

“Even Troy Hunt gets phished”
“Security researchers they’re just like us. HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt published a blog post detailing how a “sneaky phish” managed to export his Mailchimp account.

Hunt entered credentials and a one-time password, almost immediately receiving a genuine email from Mailchimp that his subscriber list was exported.“
Was that a phish?
Think twice before parting with your money. Is my computer screen really frozen? Why am I feeling anxious about it. Should I even be feeling anxious? Why am I given these strange instructions? Is that a legitimate website you are buying from? Could that website be a clone? Do I really want this? Is this believable? Is this credible? Why is it asking me for money? Who can I ask about this?
