@landley @pmevzek @jschauma @ryanc @0xabad1dea And that is espechally baffling considering that #APNIC as #RIR ran out of #IPv4|s first.

Cuz people telling me "Oh, just use HEnet's Tunnelbroker"" never experienced the shitshow that is #Geoblocking and #GDPR-#Noncompliance with #Malvertising to slap their faces!

  • Cuz believe me, I tried, but since some idiots decided to #GeoIP entire #ASN|s and not #IP - #Allocations the PoP in FRA (FFM actually) will get me mislocated to the #USA!

I'd not be pissed if #IPv6 was widely available. - I can't even get a /64 but my ISP is happy to give me /28 subnets of IPv4...

Threat Actors Utilize ClickFix to Dominate Targeted Organizations

Recently, it was observed that threat actors have been utilizing sophisticated social
engineering techniques to deceive users into executing malicious commands. These
operations are primarily conducted through compromised websites, malvertising,
and YouTube tutorials. In addition, fake tech support forums that rely on
clipboard hijacking have also been observed in these malware deployment
campaigns. Clipboard hijacking, also known as pastejacking, involves injecting
harmful scripts into a victim’s clipboard, which users are then instructed to execute
via the Run dialog or Windows shortcut keys. This method has proven to be highly
effective for threat actors, as it can lead to full organizational takeovers, data
exfiltration, and ransomware deployments.

#YouTube #ads are full of #scams and questionable financial advice by preying on #FinancialIlliterates that are #HornyForMoney.

Seriously, with all those "Matrix" refernces I wished the Wachowski Sisters or Village Roadshow Pictures or WB were to sue grifters like that.

Again: #AdBlocker are not just a necessity against #malvertising and #malware but an act of #SelfCare and #MutualDefense against #Disinformation campaigns incl. #hatespeech-based #propaganda.

Cybercriminals are using Google Ads to hijack accounts, steal data, and clone websites using AI—and it’s happening faster than you think.
