    Anyone else noticing Fortinet brand misuse online

    And even if one batch gets taken down, new ones pop up. Public takedowns help, but they never feel permanent. It is more like slowing things down than stopping them.

    Anyone else noticing Fortinet brand misuse online

    That makes sense. I have noticed that fake pages often change wording after a few days, which suggests someone is watching them. It is not just fire and forget anymore.

    Anyone else noticing Fortinet brand misuse online

    I have not personally run into a fake Fortinet page, but I have seen screenshots shared in private groups. They looked pretty convincing at first glance. If someone is not paying attention to the URL, it would be easy to miss. Makes me think training alone is not enough.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    Given this, it seems continuous vigilance and real-time monitoring is necessary. One wrong click can compromise everything, so layered security is probably the only safe approach.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    I wonder if sharing this information broadly could help raise awareness before more hotels fall victim. Cybersecurity newsletters seem to be the main way this info spreads.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    Also, the fact that attackers buy logs and use services to distribute malware shows it’s almost like a business. That level of professionalization is alarming.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    Regarding customer impact, even if direct financial loss isn’t widely reported, the potential for credential theft and card info exposure is high. Hotels probably need to alert clients proactively.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    I was thinking the same thing. The reports mention multiple countries, so I assume it’s widespread. Smaller hotels might be even more vulnerable since they often have less cybersecurity awareness and fewer defenses.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    It seems like the takeaway is skepticism combined with tech hygiene. I’m curious if anyone has suggestions for easy ways to sandbox unknown files safely.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    Absolutely, but it has to be engaging enough to stick. Just a memo might not work. Real examples like these, anonymized, could make a bigger impression.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    Yeah, it’s the emotional angle that’s hardest to defend against. It reminds me of older phishing tricks but updated for corporate culture. I’d love to see statistics on how effective these new tactics are.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    I agree. The social engineering aspect is what gets people. It’s clever because it plays on anxiety. I’m curious how long this tactic has been around and whether it’s evolving quickly with new RAT tools.

    Paxful platform changes and user experiences

    I’m curious about the co-founder’s DOJ case. The public record mentions compliance issues, but it doesn’t seem to affect users directly unless you’re looking at broader operational risks. Still, it’s a red flag for the platform’s internal control history.

    Paxful platform changes and user experiences

    Has anyone seen any formal communication from the current management on the winding down? Public reports mention a notice on the site, but I haven’t seen anything beyond that.

    Paxful platform changes and user experiences

    I’m also curious about the OFAC screening process. For someone in a restricted country, that could mean sudden account lockouts. The public information suggests Paxful directed sanctioned users to apply for licenses to recover funds, which seems unusual for a platform like this.
