Luke shared the URL from the original phishing email with me, so I'd like to showcase it a bit.

Planning to record a video to walk through it, but don't have a chance to record for the next few hours... so will roll with a Twitter/X thread for now 🧵
Image I won't show the full URL, but here's the big link redacted and defanged.

Cutesy that it is from a SendGrid tracking link. Obviously a juicy treat for attacker to be able to mass spam emails with a trusted/common delivery service like SendGrid, and a perk of click tracking. Image

CrowdStrike Falcon agents are imploding right now and causing a Blue Screen of Death boot loop on every endpoint. Reports of massive outages globally.
reddit.com/r/crowdstrike/… I'd love to be able to see their messaging, but it is behind a login.

Want to know what a YouTube channel with half a million subscribers looks like behind the scenes?

As we're cruising into 2023 and the new year, I'd like to peel back the curtain.

I want to be as transparent as possible here, in the hopes that this might help other creators. 🧵 This year in 2022, I uploaded ~170 videos, with most being released in the latter half of the year.

Trying with a certain of amount of grace and dignity, I did lean into the "cringy" thumbnails with the exaggerated expressions or more modern titles.

Today I got a notification on my phone that YouTube had sent me a copyright report, claiming one of my videos violated copyright and my channel was going to receive a strike.

Except, my video didn't violate copyright. And YouTube didn't really send me a copyright report. ImageImage Turns out, pikkunovuriij[@]gmail[.]com sent me this fake copyright claim PDF. It was easily recognizable as bogus (especially since that video is me just recording my screen showing how to install a free Linux distribution in a virtual machine), but, thanks for the fun.

Since ms-msdt: is now readily detected and the conversation has changed to search-ms: and some more staggered social engineering tricks, here is a useless thread on a silly thing tricksters might be able to pull off with some of the new fun things we have learned: 🧵 1. Stage an HTML webpage with the dumbo "IMPORTANT SECURITY UPDATE" pretense, with the cheesy Microsoft logos and arrows and all the nonsense that fools your grandparents
1a. Use JavaScript in the HTML page to force a drive-by-download/http-smuggler-whatever you want to call it.
