The age of digital mediocrity.

I hope you don't mind my little soapbox: What happened to ftmblr was not HACKING, it was SPOOFING.

Things are rarely "hacked" anymore. Cybercriminals/bad actors are not high IQ, MIT computer science graduates. Anyone can be a cyber criminal by just impersonating someone (spoofing, what happened here) or phishing. On the flip side, ANYONE can be a VICTIM of this. Anyone can be a victim of social engineering.

"Why do you care if it's called something else?"

Whereas hacking is something that cannot be avoided, we can recognize signs of social engineering and stop it in it's tracks!

I work at a financial institution. A few weeks ago, I helped someone who lost their entire life savings because they received a text claiming to be us. The criminals instructed them to create an account on a digital wallet service (think Venmo, CashApp, Apple Pay), and send some money over to another account. Through additional calls and social engineering, the criminals managed to get the password to that digital wallet account, and transfer all of the customer's money over to them.

While my example isn't as drastic as what happened here, it shows the importance of recognizing these tactics.

More than 90% of cyber-attacks start with an email message.

Email spoofing and phishing have had a worldwide impact costing an estimated $26 billion since 2016.

Some quick tips from me:

If someone is claiming to be from a financial institution, and your gut doesn't feel right about it hang up and look up their general line. You can always double check and ask if it was really them who called.

Use different passwords for different accounts. I don't care how tedious this is. If you use the same password for every website, you're fucked. If one website isn't storing information securely, then cybercriminals have access to your entire online footprint.

DO NOT engage with cybercriminals. If you know you have one on the phone then hangup and block the number. You are not Kitboga.

It's here and it's funny how all their predictions are happening.

They said, Cyber Attacks, It's here.

Morgan and Morgan have a class action lawsuit and my doctor's clinic was just hacked.

Got my letter in the mail.

Of course, my husband and I are freaking the Fugg out.

You'll be happy to not own anything.

Stay safe out there, everyone!

Another thing to consider is that this apparently happens every year throughout the month of June!

I’ve only just now heard about it and some of my friends mentioned it happens every year, so just be safe everyone and try to spread the word so those who don’t know yet will hopefully know soon.

MORE THAN 90'000 CYBER ATTACKS ON RUSSIAN ELECTION RESOURCES REPELLED ON FIRST DAY OF VOTING

More than 90k cyber attacks on Russian voting resources were repelled on the first day of voting in the Russian Federation's Presidential elections, according to the Chief of the Solar Group, Igor Lyapunov, a subsidiary of Rostelecom, Russia's largest provider of digital services.

Reporting on the cyber attacks said that this equated to 8 times the number of cyber attacks attempted on the Unified Voting Day of the previous year.

“Of course, yesterday a very large number of attacks and attempted attacks occurred on our resources - more than 90 thousand cyber attacks were carried out on the resources of election portals, on the resources of the Central Election Commission, on remote electronic voting, on the resources of State Services," Lyapunov told reporters with the Russian news agency Ria Novosti.

"This is a large number, which is eight times higher the number of cyber attacks that were recorded last year on Single Voting Day. All these attacks were repelled," Lyapunov added.

The Solar Group chief recounted a large cyber attack that occured mid-day against the digital election portal (DEG) which entered through the application portal, emulating requests from other users of the DEG, with a peak of more than 2.5 million requests per second. Pointing to the attack, Lyapunov noted that "of course, such a load caused delays on the portal."

Within an hour of the cyber attack, a team with the Solar Group managed to process and block the hack, while more than 100 fake phishing resources with a similar profile to the remote electronic voting platform, and the Central Election Commission website, managed to be processed and blocked by their teams on the first day of voting.

“If in the first two months of this year - January, February, we blocked about 60 such resources (phishing - ed.), then yesterday more than 100 such fake resources were blocked. These are portals similar to DEG, these are portals similar to The Central Election Commission, these are similar portals that talk about exit polls - this is all great counteraction to information attacks,” Lyapunov told Ria Novosti.

“Of course, when we talk about such an unprecedented level of cyber attacks, we must understand that the collective West is fighting against us. We see attacks from Ukraine , from IP addresses of Western Europe , North America . And, of course, in terms of the level of professionalism of cyber attacks, we can understand that the most professional, special groups working in our country work," Lyapunov concluded.

Voting for the President of the Russian Federation has been scheduled for three days spanning March 15th, 16th and 17th, with most voting expected to occur on the last day of voting. Current President, Vladimir Putin is expected to win by a substantially large margin, according to opinion polls conducted prior to voting.

Defending Against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks: Mitigation Techniques and Strategies

DDoS attacks are a serious threat to organizations of all sizes, and their impact can be significant and costly. Read more...

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is a type of cyber attack that aims to overload and overwhelm a website, network, or server with a massive amount of traffic. In a DDoS attack, the attacker typically uses a network of compromised computers (known as a botnet) to flood the target with traffic, rendering it inaccessible to legitimate users. DDoS attacks can be extremely disruptive and costly,…
