Two China-based Android app developers are being sued by Google for an alleged scam targeting 100,000 users worldwide through fake cryptocurrency and other investment apps.

According to Trezor, someone posing as "a credible entity from the crypto space", using a Twitter account with thousands of followers, approached its PR team on February 29, 2024. The imposter asked to interview Trezor CEO Matej Zak.

Two US insurance companies, Washington National Insurance and Bankers Life, have reported that the personal information of around 66,000 individuals may have been stolen by hackers using SIM-swapping attacks.

Researchers at Bitdefender Labs have uncovered a new scam involving remote jobs on social media platforms. Scammers are promising payment for simply liking YouTube videos.

All 17,000 user accounts and characters have been lost in this hack. BUT We will personally, manually restore every item, level, title, pet, etc. that was lost during this event when the servers are back up.

The attackers use hijacked Facebook accounts and create multiple profiles featuring photos of young women to entice users to click on infected links. Clicking on the ads downloads a malicious file that steals browser cookies and passwords.

The feature involves SMS-based two-factor authentication for game developers on Steam, where they receive a confirmation code via text message to log into their accounts.

The hackers found a way to spam users of the app and claimed their attack left users' phones disconnected from the internet and broken. While the hack caused concern, it is unlikely that it actually damaged users' devices.

Attackers redirect victims to scams that involve QR codes and phishing websites promising to double their cryptocurrency investments, often using deep fake videos of Elon Musk to add credibility.

The Twitter account of American DJ and electronic music producer Steve Aoki, who is considered something of an "influencer" in the world of cryptocurrency, lies at the heart of the scam.
