Where are teenagers and the threat landscape? They’re just causing havoc with no end in site and unchecked

The big question is, “Where are teenagers and the threat landscape?” In an opinion piece I’d call it, Michael in Tennessee sent an article titled Teens with “digital bazookas” are winning the ransomware war, researcher laments where Kevin Beaumont is quoted throughout the article talking about various ransomware attacks, and the fact that teens have more money to hire and supply attacks better than the defenderscan defend them.

I’ll give you an example. This morning, I got an email that was clearly in Spanish. It also had a PDF attachment that said pdf.rar. The file was named and included a single attached RAR extension.

“Well Jared, what’s wrong with RAR? Its a zip file extension.”

You’re right, it is. But my hunch is, that it has an executable within the RAR file that could in fact infect me.

Whoever sent it doesn’t know I don’t speak Spanish enough to understand most of the email although i got that it said something that was $5€ but beyond that, I have no idea.

The file name I would assume is a file apparently that has instructions for transferring $964,000 somewhere, of course money I don’t have.

I believe Malwarebytes won’t even let me scan this file because its infected and it knows that by scanning on save.

The article talks about a new vulnerability now patched called CitrixBleed which Security Now has covered.

It also goes on to talk about patching and how important it is. Without companies big and small taking these vulnerabilities seriously, our future will be full of problems with no solution because nobody cares.

When Windows asks me to update, I always tell it to reboot and patch. It protects me.

What can you learn about what this article is talking about?

Again, the article is titled Teens with “digital bazookas” are winning the ransomware war, researcher laments and its an eye opening discussion for new people to learn why its important to patch.

Happy reading!
