This week, our hosts Dave Bittner, Joe Carrigan, and Maria Varmazis (also host of the T-Minus Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. In our follow up, our hosts respond to a listener who wrote in with an insightful question about the role of wealth in scam susceptibility. Joe's story covers how a fake AI recruiter lures developers with a GitHub “technical assessment” that, when run, unleashes a five-stage malware chain to steal credentials, wallets, and install persistent backdoors. Maria has the story on a Halloween-themed phishing scam that lured victims with a fake Home Depot giveaway, using obfuscated code, stolen email threads, and tracking pixels to trick users into handing over personal and payment information. Dave’s story is on a convincing phishing email claiming Dashlane was hacked, showing how fear and urgency—even in obvious scams—can make anyone second-guess before thinking twice. Our catch of the day is from the scams sub-Reddit thread, and is how one user received a message from their "aunt" who wanted to be nice and grab the user a present.
