Crypto Chaos: Scams, Breaches, and Seashell Shenanigans Shake the Digital World
The Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service are investigating former FBI director James Comey over an Instagram post of seashells that allegedly spells out a coded threat against Donald Trump. Comey insists it was just a “cool shell formation,” but it’s apparently left some folks a bit… shell-shocked.
Hot Take:
North Korea is the new Nigerian prince of scams, Coinbase is paying the ultimate heist price, and James Comey’s beach vacation will never be the same again. It’s a wild world of cybersecurity, folks, and it seems like everyone’s trying to be the next James Bond villain…or victim.
Key Points:
- North Korean scammers are outed with 1,000 email addresses linked to IT worker fraud.
- Coinbase suffers a data breach impacting less than 1% of users, but costs are sky-high.
- 12 more indicted in a $263 million crypto heist involving extravagant spending.
- James Comey’s Instagram post leads to unexpected political drama and DHS investigation.
- Google enhances Android’s scam detection and protection features ahead of Android 16 launch.
