📍How #AadharCard can destroy your whole life saving bank balance.
👉 If you have linked your #aadhar with the bank account then must read.

Here is the complete thread with proof 🧵👇
1/8 First thing you must know :
When you get a bank account
❌Internet banking is turned off by default,
❌Debit/Credit card is turned off by default
#Aadhaar Enabled Payment Systems are enabled by default

So that means you can withdraw through Aadhar card finger prints

So, what is happening in India if you have not turned off your #aadhar biomatrices (Few persons turned off) then anyone can use your finger print to withdrawal your money.

👉Now big questions :-
How anyone can get your fingerprints ⁉️
Is transaction possible without OTP ⁉️

🚨New #MicrosoftExchange #vulnerabilities were disclosed, including CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082. Threat actors can easily exploit the new vulnerabilities, and bypass #ProxyNotShell URL rewrite mitigations, resulting in many companies facing further #ransomware #attacks.
An example of what such an exploit can do is shown in the picture below, where the #threat actor #FIN7 developed tailored systems to quickly discover and infiltrate the high-value targets by performing mass scans using #Microsoft #exchange #vulnerabilities.
Our PTI team has already observed activities involving recent vulnerabilities in the wild. Therefore, #PRODAFT recommends that companies fix the vulnerabilities as soon as possible to avoid serious consequences.

Is Australia's data breach wave a coincidence, bad luck or intentional targeting? Maybe all three. But the security weaknesses that have led to the incidents are not exotic. Here's an analysis 🧵 #auspol #infosec #cybercrime @CyberGovAU @ClareONeilMP
None of intrusions are the result of indefensible exploits. The culprits are the usual suspects: an insecure API, compromised credentials, a failure to quickly patch, everyday account takeovers and bad development practices.
And the people behind these attacks are most likely workaday cybercriminals, not your top-level nation-state attackers. What follows is a breakdown of the breaches and incidents:

Als ich im Dezember in Kiew war, wurde meine Kreditkarte gesperrt. Das Sicherheitssystem der Bank dachte, ich sei gehackt worden (Ukraine=#Cybercrime!) Dabei hatte ich mit der gleichen Karte den Flug gekauft. Ist die Banken-KI so schlecht? Ich begann zu recherchieren. (Thread)
Auch in meiner Recherche zum #Europol-Scam fiel mir auf, wie schlecht Banken offenbar aufgestellt sind: Eine Frau hatte zehn Mal rund 2000 Euro unter anderem an unbekannte Konten in Singapur überwiesen. Und 20.000 Euro an eine Kryptowährungsbörse. zeit.de/2022/25/telefo… 2/13
Nicht verdächtig, fand die beteiligte Bank sowie der Dienstleister Wise. Obwohl die Frau noch nie ihr gesamtes Geld nach Singapur überwiesen und in Bitcoin investiert hatte. Sowohl die Bank als auch Wise versicherten mir, dass sie ausgefeiltes maschinelles Lernen einsetzen. 3/13

#ICYMI, here's a #threatintel related🧵👇 by me on @USTreasury advisory on DPRK IT workers' attempts to obtain employment while posing as non-North Korean nationals: home.treasury.gov/system/files/1… (1/?)
DPRK IT workers "engage in a wide range of IT dev work, such as: mobile & web-based apps, virtual currency exchange platforms & digital coins. Some
designed virtual currency exchanges or created analytic tools/apps for virtual currency traders & marketed their products." (2/?)
This reminds me, for example, of Marine Chain Token: (justice.gov/opa/pr/three-n…; justice.gov/opa/press-rele…), #AppleJeus (cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/al…) and, more recently, #TraderTraitor (cisa.gov/uscert/ncas/al…). #HIDDENCOBRA/#APT38 loves loves loves their crypto (3/?)

Dangers of twitter copycat posters 🧵

Copycat accounts are scams, designed to trick and prey on the #fintwit community.

DON’T let it happen to you.
Be aware. I’m going to show you how it works!

I tracked my interactions with copycats. I documented it with screenshots.👇

These are the original accounts I have noticed this happening to:

@LayahHeilpern
@contrarian8888
@OnlyCrownKing
@Michigandolf
@INArteCarloDoss

Copycat created accounts subtly change the name, notice the extra (l)?

@IINArteCarloDos

And copy the same profile picture

The copycat replies to a comment a follower has made on an original post. (Often way down the thread so the original account holder does not notice)

Clever right!

Today #AllahabadHighCourt refused to quash criminal proceedings against one Niyaz Ahmad Khan booked for sharing PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah's morphed images on Facebook.

In 2018, Khan had shared one morphed photo of PM shaking hands with #terrorist Hafiz Saeed. Image
In another morphed photo shared by Khan, #PrimeMinister and #HomeMinister were shown feeding biscuits to dogs, on whom "Aaj Tak TV", "Zee TV" and "India TV" was written.
Taking note of Khan's act, Court observed,
"Use of Cyberspace by some people to vent out their anger and frustration by travestying the Prime Minister, Key-figures holding the highest office in the country...is abhorrent."
