Cryptocurrency has become a major source of aid for governments amid the Russia-Ukraine war, which has also given threat actors the chance to profit through scams. Crypto account activity related to the war is up, but not all of it is legitimate: https://t.co/bTMwdHVjQQ

I truly believe security awareness training is doomed until we can stop legitimate messages looking like this.

Chip-based payment cards are supposed to make it infeasible for skimmers or malware to clone your card when you pay for something by dipping the chip vs. swiping the stripe. But recent breaches at U.S. merchants suggest much may depend on where you bank. https://t.co/IhjrOxyG6p

Israel and Iran have recently been engaged in an exchange of attempted and successful cyberattacks, and the purpose of Israel’s relatively small-scale effort at the port was to send a message to Tehran: Don’t target Israeli infrastructure. https://t.co/iNXwVA7oFx

What would YOU like to see in a BASIC Linux course geared toward people doing OSINT and/or Social Engineering (but really anyone in general)?
