So, it seems Cash App can resist defying its own word that it won't abuse the Notifications feature of your phone to market to you. Unsolicited ads? Normally any app that abuses this feature loses it's Notifications priveleges.

Man, these aggressive pushes to get you to use AI, even if you don't want to, are getting ever more intrusive! Here is trying to compose an email on Gmail.

I just witnessed the worst of capitalism...watching the countdown on a Youtube AP livestream, gets interrupted by an ad in the last 5 seconds of the countdown.

Now even Google Chrome's "New Tab" Discover promotes misinformation! Can't even trust Google's recommendations. (There is no, as of this writing, a $2k stimulus from the IRS coming). Also that URL is sus.

Bicycle accident they happened minutes ago on 103rd St in Jacksonville.

Today I saw a shady way to trick you into tipping I'm at a counter service restaurant. Those greyed out options DO work, they just LOOK like they're disabled. #darkpatterns

Just another day in IT

I never thought I'd see "Sent from my iPhone" used in a professionally managed email campaign. It was tracking clicks thru smartlead.ai but had that classic auto-appended signature to help lower your guard. Don't let 'Sent from my pretentious self-advertising phone' ever make you less weary.

Seen at most independent small restaurants, their counter littered with multiple online order tablets and printers, in addition to their register with its own printer.

/s Gee, I sure love this 10 million downloads audio editor app from China:
"Music Audio Editor, MP3 Cutter" by Developer: "Video Screen Recorder, Voice Audio Editor, Cut MP3",
but when installed, from the Play Store, is named "Super Sound" from "TianXingJian"

Latest company who's email infrastructure and trust are being used to bypass spam filters. An actual invoice from Intuit Quickbooks, used to perpetuate a scam.

Note: the document to sign was (of course) taken down by DocuSign, eventually, but not before their service was used to send out the scam on their behalf.

I feel like I'll use Bluesky to post cybersecurity discoveries in my everyday life, including scamming methods. Today I noticed a scam, leveraging the messaging system of DocuSign to send the message that gets thru your spam filter, because it's legitimately sent from DocuSign.

I find it interesting to observe the ways legitimate big corporations are leveraged to help spread scam, with no repercussions to them. From using Microsoft Teams invites, to Google Calendar Invites, to today's scam: using PayPal invoices. PayPal's "report invoice" link leads to the latter image.

Was working at an airport, long after no more flights were coming in and captured this liminal view of a place, often so busy, but now barren.

So, I've newly joined BSKY as it's colloquially called. A spiritual brother to the Twitter account at twitter.com/Cyberstorm
