The Security Box, podcast 181: Phishing Sites impersonating social media

Hello folks,

Welcome to the security box, podcast 181. We had our usual suspects, I mean participants for today’s program. We welcome back Nick and Terry also showed up. We did miss Preston, but hopefully Preston is OK.

Terry was correct about LockBit, congratulations!

We’ve got news, notes, the landscape and we even go back through last week to let Nick catch up with those highlights.

We even added to the list of diatribes with some of the posts on the blog as of late too.

This podcast is done with the sponsorship of The Jared Rimer Network.

Here is the 169.6mb download of the podcast if you don’t have RSS.

Next week, we’re going to talk about a topic in which we posted about already, and the hint is, its a new way of getting their wares out without being detected easily.

Here are the show notes for this week’s podcast. Thanks so much for listening and let us know what you think!


Hello everyone, welcome to the Security Box, podcast 181. In Q4 of 2023, Phishlabs is reporting that a record of phishing sites impersonate social media to target victims. Question for the listener, what do you think you should look for when you get communication that talks about social media before you click, tap, double tap or press enter on a keyboard? We’ll have the news and landscape as well as your comments and concerns. We hope you enjoy the show!
