The sophistication levels of online scammers that are targeting individuals and families is hitting an all time level. Just dealt with a friend that drained all their bank accounts, SIM cloning, and had full voice cloning (to remove accents sound perfect) and kept them on phone as they depleted accounts. Super methodical, well prepared, precise, and had all their prior breach data at hand. This wasn't your antivirus is out of date, this was starting off: 1. Well prepared pre-text using prior breach data as initial trust gainer. 2. Chase fraud services spoofed number with caller ID. 3. Directed them to a fake FTC 800 number to report claim. 4. Already knew all their bank accounts, SIM cloned to get one time pin, through carrier due to credential stuffing. 5. Delay them as bank accounts were depleted and locked out of accounts to not recall funds. Definitely gave me the beekeeper movie vibes.

Hey @Scott_Helme, we're chatting about CSP over at @OWASP_ASVS and I thought, who do I know who is a CSP expert :) So: Do you see CSP violation reports as a key security control that should be mandated or more as a usability/debugging aid? github.com/OWASP/ASVS/issues… cc @ryarmst

It's only taken *entirely too long*, but Drozer 3 is finally out. Now compatible with Python 3 and modern Java, this version should run smoothly on modern devices. There are probably bugs. Please raise GitHub issues if you find them. labs.withsecure.com/tools/dr…

This is the stupidest possible outcome if they are actually trying to prevent auto theft.
Replying to @FP_Champagne
Criminals have been using sophisticated tools to steal cars. And Canadians are rightfully worried.   Today, I announced we are banning the importation, sale and use of consumer hacking devices, like flippers, used to commit these crimes. 🔗: canada.ca/en/public-safety-c…

Toronto police conducted pre-dawn raids on activists who postered Indigo—a major operation that a policing expert says is usually used for “gun and drug” busts. @Martin_Lukacs reports the pursuit of hate crime charges is an attack on Palestine solidarity. breachmedia.ca/toronto-polic…

Today, I will be arrested by police in London, Canada. The police will put me in jail indefinitely because I will not stop protesting against MP Peter Fragiskatos, who refuses to call for a ceasefire against the civilians in Gaza. What's happening. What you can do. A 🧵

Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march.
I agree with the Prime Minister. It is entirely unacceptable to desecrate Armistice Day with a hate march through London. If it goes ahead there is an obvious risk of serious public disorder, violence and damage as well as giving offence to millions of decent British people. 1/2

If you cut off water, electricity, telecommunications, bomb hospitals and schools and homes and ambulances, flatten buildings and neighborhoods, slaughter thousands of humans, over half of them women and children, you're not the good guys. This is genocide.

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.
This is Gaza.

This line. This is one of the most haunting lines I’ve ever read. In 15-20 years people will remember this line and will have to confront the reality that they stood by while the world rained death and destruction upon Gaza.

An entire culture, history and people are disappearing under the rubble – buried by the moral cowardice of our political leaders. Artists whose work we will never know. Teachers whose lessons we will never learn. Children whose laughter we will never hear. We must keep raising our voice for an immediate ceasefire. For the universal application of international law. For our shared humanity. For the only path to a just & lasting peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.
