Erich and Javvad summarize this week’s cyber soap opera and bring you a tangled web of digital deceit, artificial “intelligence,” and just enough government extradition drama to keep things spicy.
From Spain With Wire Fraud: Alleged “Scattered Spider” member Tyler Buchanan thought sunny Spain was a safe hideout—until the long arm of U.S. justice said hola. Extradited for allegedly scamming Caesars and MGM, his toolkit included SIM swapping and social engineering. Welcome to America, Tyler—hope you like federal courtrooms.
Phishing with Google’s Seal of Approval: Meanwhile, phisherfolk are reusing Google’s DKIM signatures like they’re leftover lasagna—slapping them onto spoofed emails from no-reply@accounts.google.com and tricking even the most paranoid clickers. The result? Legit-looking credential traps hosted on Google Sites. It’s like gourmet phishing, served with a side of irony.
Darcula Gets a Brain Upgrade: And if you thought cybercrime required effort, think again. The Darcula phishing kit now uses generative AI to do all the heavy lifting. Bad grammar and clunky templates? Gone. Now, even your cousin Steve with zero hacking skills can impersonate a bank in 100 languages. Thanks, AI.
Tune in for a romp through the latest digital deceptions, complete with dark web drama and facepalms galore. Stay sharp—because the hackers definitely are.
