Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thin hacks in the stack. Let's unpack the attack. Welcome
back digital daredevils to hack diaries. One victim's story, I'm
fin hack your binary, tatted, neonhaired narrator glittering in ones
zero's and a little neon green mischief. Slide up your
firewalls because tonight's stories are real, raw and riding the
bleeding edge of twenty twenty five's latest scams. Each tale

(00:23):
starts with a click, ends and cliff angers. Let's dive
straight into three twists from the front lines. First up,
our fishing phantoms are getting bolder, according to a recent
Fox News roundup and posts blowing up x. Cybercrooks are
leveraging trusted platforms like Docusigne to unleash one diabolically clever
Apple pay dispute scheme. Here's how it worked for one

(00:45):
unlucky consultant. In the dead of night, a Docusigne branded
email pings the inbox, dazzling with Apple signature polish and
a juicy, totally faked statement unauthorized three hundred and forty
nine dollars purchase. There's a support number. Our victim calls
thinking hook line and scammer and that's where the worm

(01:06):
wriggles deeper on the line is a convincing support agent
who guides our mark to share banking info and, with
a twist of social engineering, request remote access for verification. Boom.
Within the hour, their savings and crypto wallet gone. The
secret sauce these scammers exploit docu sign's real APIs for authenticity,

(01:28):
letting them bypass firewalls and spam blockers. The best defense
never call numbers or click links in unsolicited emails, even
if they look as real as the green and My hair.
Story two is all about booking and bluffing, as seen
on cybersecurity blogs and online communities from the US to Portugal.

(01:49):
Booking dot Com customers reported hotel emails demanding urgent payment
to secure reservations. Our next victim a frequent traveler juggling
who tell confirmation for a business trip. The email styled
like official Booking dot Com, referencing a real reservation. The
demand click here, pay now, or lose your place just

(02:11):
the harmless link they think until credentials are input, followed
by an eerie silence from the real hotel. Suddenly account locked,
money drained, Booking's canceled malware Bytes and Aunt have confirmed
these scammers by real Booking dot Com account data on
the darkweb, then craft hyper personalized emails that break through

(02:34):
both browser defenses and human caution. The lesson. If an
email smells fishy, always check your reservation by logging in directly.
No shortcuts, no clickbait. Time for a third slice of mayhem.
This one's for all you expected package folks. On scamside
dot com, the Federal Express phishing scam is heating up.

(02:58):
Here's a recent case. A startup founder, busy awaiting fifty
gadgets for launch day, gets an official looking FedEx delivery
email logo and branding flawless language, pressured and urgent. Please
confirm your signature for undelivered package. Click the link with
launch dress surging. Our founder clicks in, sneaks a keystrokelogger,

(03:22):
silently pilfering banking logins and sending them across the globe. Later,
drained accounts and ransomware demands all traced back to that
one click. The creator never saw it coming. Fintangent moment
ip spoofing here is like the digital world's Halloween mask.
The scammer's real location is hidden behind a legit looking shell,

(03:44):
making it nearly impossible to tell friend from foe. Spooky
right codes, cracked, cons are whacked. These are just stories,
their warnings from the edge of innovation and manipulation. Whether
it's docusign's disguise booking, dot COM's butt trail, or FedEx's
fake out, the bad actors count on your trust, your taps,

(04:06):
