Oh, For Fucking Christ’ Sake: Another Phishing Thing

Right, listen up. Apparently, some script kiddies in Brazil are using AI – AI! – to make their phishing attempts more convincing. Shocking, I know. They’re churning out personalized messages at scale, targeting bank customers with incredibly realistic-looking crap. It’s not like anyone *needs* help getting scammed these days, but sure, let’s add machine learning to the mix.

But wait, it gets worse. Alongside this AI-powered bullshit, they’re also deploying a Trojan called Efimer that’s been quietly stealing cryptocurrency from around 5,000 victims. Five *thousand*. It’s a multi-stage operation: phishing to get the initial foothold, then using Efimer to drain wallets. It spreads through malicious links and fake software updates – original stuff, truly.

The report says they’re focusing on banks like Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica Federal, and Itaú Unibanco. Like those are the *only* banks that get targeted? Idiots. And of course, security researchers had to step in and clean up this mess. Because apparently adults can’t click things without being tricked by a bot.

The takeaway? Don’t be an idiot. Think before you click. Use two-factor authentication. And for the love of all that is holy, stop using “123456” as your password. Seriously. I’m starting to think humanity deserves whatever it gets.

I once had to explain to a grown man that the email claiming he’d won a Nigerian prince’s fortune was, in fact, a scam. He insisted on sending the prince his bank details anyway. I swear, some people are just begging to be robbed. Don’t be like him.
