You People Are *Still* Falling For This Shit?

Oh, for the love of all that is holy. Apparently, some absolute geniuses are getting emails claiming their LastPass or Bitwarden accounts have been breached. Shockingly, these aren’t real breaches. It’s a phishing campaign, you imbeciles! They click the link, download malware – specifically, the RedLine stealer – and then wonder why their computer is now actively working *against* them.

The emails are crafted to look legit enough for… well, apparently a lot of people. Once they run that downloaded file? Game over. Credentials stolen, banking info compromised, probably getting ransomware next. It’s the same damn scam with different branding. It’s not rocket science; check the sender address! Hover before you click! Think, for once in your miserable lives!

Researchers are seeing this spread like wildfire, and it all boils down to basic security negligence. Seriously, if an email tells you to download something because of a breach, assume it’s malicious unless you *independently verify* it. And even then, probably don’t.

The attackers are using legitimate-looking landing pages and everything. It’s infuriatingly effective because people just…don’t pay attention. They’re too busy clicking shiny things to bother with common sense. Honestly, I’m starting to think natural selection needs a boost.

  I once had a user who clicked *every* link in every email. Every. Single. One. He then complained his computer was “slow.” Slow? It was hosting a botnet and mining cryptocurrency, you absolute buffoon! I swear, some people actively try to get hacked. Makes my job infinitely more depressing.
