Five election scams to watch out for
Elections give scammers plenty to work with: urgent deadlines, familiar faces, passionate supporters, and messages asking people to take action. Some want you to “fix” your voter registration. Others want a donation, an answer to a survey, or payment for merchandise supposedly endorsed by your favorite politician. The details change, but the objective stays the same: get your money, your personal information, or both. Here are five election-themed scams to watch out for. Scam 1. “We’ll help you…

The warnings are everywhere these days. Don’t click this. Don’t open that. Don’t scan this. Don’t download that. These messages of caution, however well-intended, are so ubiquitous and constant that it should come as no surprise that some people have started to tune them out. How many people? About one in three, according to our recent study. Keeping up with every warning can feel exhausting. Meanwhile, scammers are finding new ways to target people and phones give them plenty of opportunities.…

A Cash App account opened in her name has left Amanda Smith facing criminal charges and potentially up to six years in prison. 404 Media reports that Smith says someone used her Social Security number (SSN) and date of birth to create an account that received money from a Facebook Marketplace scam. Allegedly, a buyer sent $1,000 for items that weren’t really for sale. A scammer had taken over someone else’s Facebook account and directed the buyer to pay a Cash App account in Smith’s name.…

“Spray and pray” job applications could make it harder for you to spot a scam
AI can help you send more job applications. But when you lose track of where you’ve applied, a fake recruiter’s message can start to look like the reply you’ve been waiting for. Job hunting can feel like shouting into the void. You send applications, rewrite cover letters, and wait for replies that may never arrive. Then a message lands on your phone: someone wants to talk about a job. But was it one of the jobs you applied for? It is hard to keep track when you’ve sent out a lot of them. Two…

Upozorenje: Lažne SMS poruke o povratu poreza
Nacionalni CERT upozorava građane na phishing kampanju putem SMS poruka u kojima se napadači predstavljaju kao Porezna uprava i obavještavaju primatelje da im je odobren povrat poreza. Cilj kampanje je navesti građane na odavanje osobnih i financijskih podataka, koji se potom mogu zloupotrijebiti za financijske prijevare. U poruci se nalazi poveznica koja vodi na lažnu internetsku stranicu. Od građana se najprije traži unos imena i prezimena, IBAN-a, broja mobitela i datuma rođenja, a zatim i…
Panchan's Mining Island [Guest Diary], (Wed, Oct 14th)
[This is a Guest Diary by Zachary Norwood, an ISC intern as part of the SANS.edu BACS program] Crypto mining malware has been active and spreading across the internet for quite some time now. Moreover, the DShield honeypot picked up a worm that self-propagates through a plethora of means. One of them is stealing SSH keys after it gains access to a system. Furthermore, it also leverages a rootkit to maintain access to infected systems. One would hope that threat actors would have moved on past…

Your “Who’s this?” reply is exactly what text scammers want
Scammers are finding different ways to use personal details exposed in data breaches to lure people into conversations. Last week, we showed how a Facebook Marketplace listing used the recipient’s name to make a text asking “Is this still available?” more convincing. The one we got this week was a lot simpler. No suspicious link. No overdue payment. No warning that your account is about to be closed. No fake images. Just your name, followed by a question mark. It’s a remarkably small opening…

Phishing emails are baiting your AI assistant
You ignored the suspicious email. You didn’t open the attachment, click the link, or reply to the sender. Then you asked your AI assistant to summarize your inbox. Could the message you wisely avoided find its way back onto your to-do list—only this time presented as an urgent recommendation from a tool you trust? That’s the risk behind phishing emails containing hidden instructions aimed at AI assistants. Instead of relying only on persuading you, attackers are also trying to influence the…

That shipping rebate offer may come with a monthly charge
Thanks to Malwarebytes research engineer Stefan Dasic for his help with this article. A name like ShipmentsFree suggests a way to save on shipping. The service does offer shipping rebates, but its Better Business Bureau (BBB) complaint record shows that some customers did not realize they had also signed up for recurring charges. We found a number of very similar websites (which triggered our spidey senses), so we investigated. Related shipping-themed domains use ShipmentsFree or ShipmentFree…

Copyright scammers get Instagram accounts suspended and demand payment
Scammers are abusing Meta’s copyright-reporting system to suspend people’s Instagram accounts and then hold them for ransom, according to the BBC. Criminals file fake copyright complaints with Instagram, claiming that an account is using material it doesn’t own. Repeated complaints can trigger a temporary account suspension from the platform, locking out the victim even though they haven’t done anything wrong. The criminal then moves the conversation to another platform, such as Telegram, and…

Tech support scams look different now. Here’s what to watch for
In a tech support scam, criminals pretend to work for a trusted technology or security company. They claim there is a problem with your device, software, subscription, or account, then try to persuade you to pay them, share personal information, or give them remote access to your computer. These scams used to rely mainly on browser locks and fake virus warnings. Now, scammers use many more ways to reach people, including websites and platforms they trust.

Scammers are getting smarter about where they target you
Scammers are becoming more strategic about where they target people. Nine in ten toll scams—the fake unpaid-toll messages that threaten fines or license suspension—arrive by email or text, while roughly six in ten romance scams show up first on social media. That’s no coincidence. Rather than blasting the same message everywhere, criminals are tailoring different scams to the platforms where they’re most likely to succeed. This finding comes from Malwarebytes’ own threat research systems and…

Fake listings can turn trusted platforms into scam springboards
Recently, we found a listing on BuzzFeed from someone pretending to be Malwarebytes Support. It reminded us why we need to be cautious about content on platforms where anyone can create an entry.

Together, those functions can help operators turn a compromised phone into a platform for account…
