This week, our hosts Dave Bittner, Joe Carrigan, and Maria Varmazis (also host of the T-Minus Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. Maria's story is on her recent close encounter with a Facebook scam. Dave's story is on a new strain of spyware that automates sextortion by detecting when users watch pornography, then secretly capturing both browser screenshots and webcam photos to blackmail victims. Joe's story is on the power of metadata, sharing how even limited browsing data from his machine learning class revealed personal details like daily routines, house hunting, and financial institutions. Our catch of the day comes from the Scams subreddit, featuring a phony Illuminati recruitment email promising power, wealth, and recognition in exchange for personal information.
