Fascinating! @google caught a cyber criminal group scamming 100,000 Americans via text message at scale using Gemini to quickly build fake gov and branded sites that stole credit card numbers and PII.
Today, we filed a lawsuit to permanently dismantle a group of organized cybercriminals accused of using AI tools — including Gemini — to scam Americans via fake text campaigns. Here’s what to know:
◾Our suit targets core software developers in a cybercrime operation known as the “Outside Enterprise.” The group has allegedly weaponized AI to quickly generate highly convincing fake government and brand websites intended to steal victims’ credit card numbers and personal information.
◾The group used AI and different Google products — including our trademarks and logos — as part of these phishing campaigns.
◾The scale of the operation is massive: More than 100,000 victims have been scammed, with losses estimated in the millions.
Heads up! Some fraudster is pretending to be a Red Teamer on my team and contacting people for "remediation" and "support".
We don't do outreach (only inbound leads) so if someone from "SocialProof Security" reaches out to you it's a fraudster (and please report it to me).

Our family is facing a heartbreaking loss. My sister-in-law and her kids lost their home, vehicles, and cherished pets. If you can spare anything, it would mean the world to them as they begin to rebuild. If donating isn't possible, your kind thoughts and shares are greatly appreciated.
Also, If any of you have any cool hacking memorabilia you're willing to donate or support as part of a fundraiser, i'm working on that as well. I've got a few things like.. old school NSA memorabilia, memorabilia from the 90's Scene & groups etc. That I plan to put up auction style.

Apparently there’s an event that involves Lego tomorrow after work. I can’t roll in empty handed. Made a few custom pieces and minifigs last minute to bring on the trip.
Think about the red teams you respect most. Now think about how they actually breach mature environments with strong stacks and strong defenders. It's almost never a memory corruption 0day. It's abuse of functionality.
For those of you that know me, I love collecting the more obscure retro hardware. AES and MVS carts count simply because of cost. I preordered two of these, im that excited.
