«IT-Sicherheitsexperte Manuel Atug @HonkHase sieht die Sicherheitsbehörden und die Politik so in dem "ewigen Konflikt" gefangen, immer mehr Befugnisse zum Jagen von Tätern zu fordern, statt Deutschland und IT-Systeme wirklich defensiv abzusichern und Schwachstellen konsequent schließen zu lassen.»
— Lieber dem Problem hinterherlaufen als es zu lösen. Irgendwie typisch Deutschland.

Bundeslagebild Cybercrime: Die Lunte brennt – angezündet wird oft ganz woanders

Phishing, Ransomware und DDoS bleiben die größten Geißeln von Cyberkriminellen, sagt das BKA. Das BSI vergleicht das mit vielen Lagerhäusern voll mit Dynamit.

Seems to me that a new role has emerged for those who want a career in cybersecurity: Cybercriminal Troll.

Police around the world are making videos to scare the bejeezus out of scammers and hackers, revealing in a jaunty way how they are about to be busted.

Nice one Met Police.

im getting really tired... -w-

summary of today:

someone on a Japanese hacker forum decided it was a good idea to spam the entire Fediverse because they wanted to cancel a minor that DDoSed a Discord bot which apparently made them lost millions (what?)

A Discord bot. I can't make this shit up man.

The real culprit seems to be someone who goes by mumei in the ctkpaarr.org forums, whose first post was literally a threat to ap12, that if they don't delete their "Kuroneko Server" Discord bot, they will spam every blog, forum and SNS and cancel him.

This shit is ridiculous.

The ap12 account from mastodon-japan was actually fake, and this dude impersonated a minor to get all of the Fediverse (us) to bully him.

The forum admins didn't even stop this. Why? lulz apparently. #fediblockmeta#fediadmins#fediadmin#mastoadmin#mastoadmins#spam#cybercrime#cybersec#infosec#drama#discord
