Their retirement funds, your inheritance, it’s all fair game for the scammer. Seniors lost over $3b to financial scams in 2020. They’re easy targets and they’re scared to ask for help.
This is science fiction of the worst kind. It leaves its victim bereft of their life’s savings and with no more reason to live.
The good news is THEY CAN BE PROTECTED! Read our latest blog post to learn how— it’s the LEAST you owe them. #phishingprotect #identitytheft #novoshield
Communications is at the heart of our democratic way of life. In order to destroy that, our enemies strive to undermine the very act of communications by sowing distrust, subverting content, and throttling dissent. Don’t let them.
The US attracts two-thirds of cybercrime activities — we’re popular, we’re rich, we have the product, and we speak English. Institutional protection against, and global policing of phishing and its perpetrators is slow, insufficient, and miles behind the wave. You, the individual, must take steps to protect yourself and stay informed.
they DO, actually - compared to others (meta, for eg). they have bounty hunter rewards, all kinds of new developments. at least you can actually GET to a human response of some sort. but yes - when the "system" favours monopols, dont expect too much battling over your patronage
Ransomware perps place no value on human life or common decency. They’ll shut down hospitals for a fee, divert the energies of a nation, and wreak havoc—all for a buck.
80% of those who choose to PAY the ransom are usually targeted a second time, and 40% end up laying off staff.
Luckily, more and more victims are refusing to pay—two-thirds, by some estimates.
Find out about the latest trends in ransomware: who’s paying whom, and why.
oops. sorry. uv already sed that.
no - junk mail is getting harder to discern and philter (sic)
With nearly 23K cryptocurrencies worth over a trillion US dollars in total in circulation, the temptation to phish them must be irresistible. This week, we’ll discover how they work, how they’re scammed, and how we can stay safe.

There’s a misconception about data breaches: Just because we don’t report them doesn’t mean they didn’t happen. In fact, law now REQUIRES we report data breaches.
And yet, there are STILL so many companies who forbid their IT wonks to help prevent the next critical infrastructure ransom attack.
Read this week’s blog post to find out why.
As our banking and financial activities move online, it’s worth remembering that the #finance sector is the second most attacked target in the #cybercrime world.
Revolut's been hacked, Citibank US, Wellsfargo, Bank of America, & all the rest. And now the crooks don’t even need a getaway car! Whether you’re using an online bank on your cellphone, trading #forex online, even planning your family budget, using an app, your money is at risk!

Phishing is so common nowadays, it’s become a sea of different creatures—each with its own particular characteristics, remedies, and precautions.
Learn to distinguish between smishing & vishing, angler and spearphishing, pharming & plain old email phish in this week’s blogpost. And find out how to avoid each one
The government has finally realized that the world is at war. And—as in war—the response must be bold. The White House’s new #cybersecurity strategy involves both politicos and business interests, and it threatens those who scorn their duty with retribution. There’s no dodging this latest draft; it affects anyone with a computer or cellphone. More in this week’s blogpost.
The cyberwar front has jumped light years forward in the past year. Russian Hackers began by shutting down infrastructures, then went on to intimidate Ukraine supporters, trying to break down resistance. But that’s just the TIP of the iceberg.
US and European companies have come under attack, and the tools have improved exponentially. The name of the game is ‘terror’, and nobody knows where it will strike next.
Take cover, stay safe, and remember: knowledge is your best defense.

The internet is awash with posts and articles about (and more worryingly BY) OpenAI’s new ChatGPT. It’s a huge but disconcerting leap forward in everyday AI. The threats are, indeed, real, but the science is for most of us very new.
This week, we ask what are robochats, AI, machine learning, algorithms and all those other scary terms? Hopefully, by understanding the tech we’ll be more prepared against the hijackers and phishing.
So here’s a short and superficial primer to put it all in context.
Congratulations! You’ve completed yet another year of gainful employment and it’s time to report your taxes. Beware!
Cyberthugs are paying close attention as you report your income. They’ll be targeting your W2, your 1099, and, now with some NEW forms online, much more.
In this week’s blog post – some of the more prevalent options and a few steps of caution you should be taking.
so, the rabbi tells hershel in the case of hershel versus krantz, "you're right; he's wrong." he then turns to krantz and "Mr. Krantz, you're right; he's wrong." the rabbi's assistant pulls the venerable rabbi over and asks him, "how can you tell both hershel and krantz they're right and the other one's wrong? it's an intellectual copout," (though one wonders if in the original yiddish version of this story the term 'copout' was used. The rabbi thinks a minute and turns to his assistant: "you're right - i'm wrong," and continues to tell the two supplicants the exact opposite ofwhat hehad previously claimed.
it's well-founded paranoia - just because you're parnaoid doesnt mean you're wrong.
The global battle against state-sponsored cybercrime chalked up a small victory last week with the closure of the HIVE ransomware group. But they’re one in many hundreds.
In this battlefield, we’re all targets and we must all take up arms—there ARE no innocent bystanders.
Don’t let yourself be phished into the killing fields. Protect your device and learn all you can.
We're proud to see #novoshield CTO Lior Keshet featured in this month's Cyber Defense Magazine. The topic: the infamous Navy Federal Credit Union #phishingscam we uncovered in December.

#uber shares plunged in September on a single hack! And it’s happening AGAIN! Then, the company that developed the Mobility-as-a-Service concept was taken for a ride when a teenage hacker phished an employee’s log-in data and made his way into its cloud-based data banks. This time, it’s one of the industry’s major ransomware groups. Client and worker info, finances, & everything else a malicious agent could ask for. Check out our special report in novoShield’s blog to find out more about the company, the perps and the hacks.
Setting up a cybersecurity system is expensive. Training your staff to be cautious is cheap.
81% of phishing attacks target SMBs, 60% will result in company closure. And yet, less than 20% have a cyberattack response plan in place.
it's easy to harden our defenses and make infiltration just a tiny bit more difficult. Find out why small companies aren't being more cautious in today’s blogpost.

We've just uncovered another ingenious phishing attack. This time it's three-pronged and hosted on perdue.edu—another major US university site.
