Long thread but serious talk.

Seeing a massive problem in the security industry today. We have brand new candidates lacking "hands on" experience coming into the workforce and finding it extremely difficult to find a job. 1/10
We talk about skills shortages everywhere in cyber security - but almost 99% of the job postings I see are for already experienced individuals.

We have a skills shortage because we are not hiring new security folks into this industry. 2/10
As an example, we recently opened up two internship spots and had over 900 applicants. This is insane and impossible odds for these folks.

Salaries are out of control for minimal experience where companies are paying outrageous wages for just a few years of experience. 3/10

Very interesting read. I had a phone call from a customer of ours that was targetted personally. I spent the past several hours unfolding this scam, and one of the most targetted ones that I've seen in a very long time.

Worth the read, and wow - the organization on this.
I'm glad they reached out to me, normally I get "the subject line has my password, am I hacked?" phone calls from people.

I listened and immediately got my friends at the FBI involved in this one.

Local police/Sherriff even thought this was real and not a scam.
They used a number of techniques social engineering wise to ensure success, and honestly - if it hadn't been for MoneyPak - I probably would have fallen for this also.

The level of organization, multiple individuals perfect English speaking, and personal info is legit.
