⚠️ Mobile security risk: New Android malware "SuperCard X" enables contactless payment fraud via NFC relay attacks 📱💳

Here’s how it works:
🔹 Victims are socially engineered through fake bank alerts (smishing + calls)
🔹 Tricked into installing a rogue app posing as “security software”
🔹 NFC data is intercepted from real debit/credit cards
🔹 Attackers relay stolen credentials to PoS terminals and ATMs for fraudulent cashouts

Why it matters:
• Attackers no longer need stolen physical cards — just proximity + deception
• Banking customers, payment providers, and card issuers are all at risk
• Google is working on Android protections — but vigilance is key now

🛡️ Tip: Always scrutinize app installs, verify messages before acting, and keep Google Play Protect enabled.

The #USTreasury data has been compromised (if not, it's pretty damn close) so here's a #PSA:

FREEZE YOUR #CREDIT REPORTS.

NOW.

The #Treasury data is either going to be sold to thieves or used to f people over because that's what Those People do.

Lock your credit down before you get calls from collection agencies wondering why you haven't made any payments on [something] you didn't know you bought. If your credit can't be freely checked, they can't open new lines of credit to buy swastikas on Etsy or whatever the f they buy.

#NickBostrom’s #FutureOfHumanity Institute closed this week in what Swedish-born philosopher says was ‘death by bureaucracy’

The closure of Bostrom’s center is a further blow to the #EffectiveAltruism and #Longtermism movements that the philosopher has spent decades championing, which in recent years have become mired in scandals related to #racism, #SexualHarassment and #FinancialFraud.

"All of the reporters in the courtroom have shared so much information about the jurors that they seemed at risk of being identified, but Fox News Channel host Jesse Watters not only ran a video segment about a juror, he suggested she was “concerning.” Trump shared the video on social media."

#MichaelCohen testified that #Trump directed him to #ReverseEngineer the stmnts to reach TFG’s desired #NetWorth.

#Cohen began calmly & clearly about his role at the #TrumpOrganization, where he reported directly to Trump.

“I was tasked by Mr. Trump to increase the total assets based upon a number that he arbitrarily elected,” Cohen testified, saying that it was his responsibility to “increase those assets in order to achieve the number.”

Tomorrow will be more interesting, when Cohen will be cross-examined. Today we heard more about how the tofurkey was made (how exactly they conducted the process of #FinancialFraud; tofurkey as opposed to sausage)

Tues, #MichaelCohen confronted his fmr boss from the #witness stand in a NY court, attacking #Trump as a #criminal & #cheat while defending his own #credibility.
