Is it just me or do the logos for those companies look like drawings of anuses?
Let me point you this way.
Not the vibe script kiddies
How kind of the government to provide these tools to ordinary citizens.
Ultimately I noticed a lot of new scams running around and some gov.br websites serving a lot of scams (they existed before only as redirects to scams, now they seem to be hosted in there too). A friend of mine tried to delete a 2FA token from her phone and got calls about that from a completely different “agency”.
Seems like the script kiddie bar got higher…
Edit: But on this case, the article doesn’t give any source
Wonder if I got a scam call via AI the other day. It seemed more sophisticated than other ones I’ve gotten and things they said to me were very reassuring but I insisted on calling them back via their public-facing support line. Nobody knew what I was talking about when I called back.
This is what’s going to kill the “we’ll hold your place in line for you and call you back” on the automated telephone systems UNLESS the automated system reads/texts you a random 7+ digit code that the rep that “calls you back” has to provide to you.
Otherwise, how the hell do I know you’re actually from my <insert company that has my PII here>.
Probably.
I think almost all calls these days are scams, like phishing, advertisements, voice cloning, the usual nigerian prince (he’s still alive).
A good chunk operate out of 217.199.144.0/22 (Physical location) in Kenya. We have lots of fun with their fixed wireless routers.
There are so many. And scammers keep lists of victims to do more scams to them. My mom has been scammed a few times in different ways for different amounts of money.
How inspiring! Truly motivational! ☕️
Viber attack, surely
