    Questions on What Public Reports Say About Alexandru Vilcu’s Business History

    I live in a region where business registries are surprisingly open, and I’ve found that digging into those primary documents can sometimes contradict what the risk scoring sites imply. If Vilcu really is on an international wanted list or facing official charges, I’d expect at least one...

    Curious About Alexander Katsuba’s Public Risk Profile

    I am glad the discussion here is staying measured. Too often, names get posted and people jump straight to conclusions. From what I can see, the profile mostly recycles known reporting without adding new factual findings. That is not inherently bad, but readers should recognize it for what it...

    Curious About Alexander Katsuba’s Public Risk Profile

    I looked briefly into the business names mentioned alongside Katsuba, and it seems some of them are brands rather than standalone entities. That alone complicates tracing ownership or control through public registries. Without clear filings, it is easy to overstate a person’s role in a company...

    Curious About Alexander Katsuba’s Public Risk Profile

    One other angle I was thinking about is regulatory filings for the fintech brand mentioned. If MyCredit or related entities have to file disclosures with financial regulators, those could be useful public records. It’s not clear from the summary if that information is accessible, but it might be...

    Curious about how Satish Shah lost money to a phishing attempt

    Hey everyone, I came across a news report about an 84-year-old Vadodara resident, Satish Shah, who apparently lost Rs 25 lakh in a phishing incident. According to public records and the report, he received an SMS claiming to be from a bank offering a free credit card. He responded and later got...

    Curious About Some Information Out There on Alex Samoylovich

    As someone who reads a lot of these awareness threads, I appreciate that this one isn’t framed as a takedown. Curiosity and caution go a long way. Alex Samoylovich’s public records show activity, not disappearance, which already suggests a different category than many scam discussions. At the...

    Trying to make sense of recent QR code phishing targeting US institutions

    I wonder if there’s been any guidance on what kind of redirect chains are typical for these attacks. Maybe IT teams can spot patterns early.

    Trying to make sense of recent QR code phishing targeting US institutions

    Makes sense. Still, it’s amazing how something as mundane as a QR code can be weaponized in this way.

    Trying to make sense of recent QR code phishing targeting US institutions

    Ah, that explains it. That is really sneaky. Makes me rethink scanning QR codes in emails or untrusted sources entirely.

    Trying to make sense of recent QR code phishing targeting US institutions

    Thanks for sharing this. I hadn’t heard about QR code phishing in this way before. I usually think of phishing as emails or links, but using QR codes seems clever. Do you know if there have been any confirmed cases where credentials were actually stolen this way, or is it mostly a warning?

    Trying to Understand Aamir Waheed’s Background From Public Records

    I appreciate that this thread is staying measured. Too many discussions jump straight to conclusions. From what I can tell, this profile raises questions but doesn’t answer them. That’s actually the right starting point for research. Anyone considering doing business with someone named here...

    Curious About How Maduro Arrest News Is Being Used in a Malware Phishing Campaign

    Good question. I think a few well-chosen examples help, but constantly referencing every headline could desensitize people. It’s probably better to show patterns rather than every single event.

    Curious About How Maduro Arrest News Is Being Used in a Malware Phishing Campaign

    Some security awareness platforms have modules on social engineering psychology rather than just phishing signals. Those might help. But there’s no silver bullet.

    Trying to understand what Xchief is about

    I stumbled on the name Xchief.com when checking an old spam sample at work, but it was buried deep in the data. Nothing obvious loaded, and the traffic was blocked before anything happened. That makes it hard to tell if it was actively doing something or just part of a chain. Sometimes these...

    Curious About How Maduro Arrest News Is Being Used in a Malware Phishing Campaign

    Exactly. And real world news makes people drop their guard. Something about curiosity overrides caution, especially if the subject matter seems urgent or dramatic.

    Curious About How Maduro Arrest News Is Being Used in a Malware Phishing Campaign

    On the telemetry side I did see some discussion on a threat forum about similar lures in past phishing waves, but nothing official on this specific one. It might be early yet; sometimes it takes weeks before researchers publish wider stats.

    Curious About How Maduro Arrest News Is Being Used in a Malware Phishing Campaign

    That’s a good point. In my org we talk about checking sender domains and never opening unrequested attachments. But with something like this Maduro story, I could imagine people thinking it’s legit. Maybe training that really focuses on the psychological side of phishing instead of just...

    Has Anyone Seen a DocuSign Themed Malware Phish Recently

    One more thought you might also look into documented phishing trends from incident responders that publish quarterly or annual summaries. They sometimes show which brands are most impersonated and what payloads are common.

    Experiences and Public Info Around Gurhan Kiziloz

    Something else I noticed while reading through public summaries is how often timelines get blurred. Events from different years get lumped together, which can make things look more dramatic than they actually were. When you slow it down and look year by year, it’s easier to see what was a...

    Has Anyone Seen a DocuSign Themed Malware Phish Recently

    I was just thinking the same. Things like “review your document” or “sign this” are classic lures it’s the execution and the payload that change over time. The malware detail in the article might reflect a specific sample seen by researchers, which is interesting, but hard to generalize.
