The Security box, podcast 83: Sim Swapping and Trick Bot

The technology blog and podcast and TSB

Hello folks, This is Jared here, and its time for another Security Box. In this almost three hour program, we cover the olden days of Spam and what someone was seeing during our live program. Besides that, we've got Trick Bot and Sim Swapping as our two main topics. Here are the show notes with links, and we'll be back on another show!

Hello folks, welcome to podcast 83. Let's start with something that came to my attention on Monday. Let's recap a little bit about Sim Swapping. This actually came up on Monday when someone who comes to assist me was saying to me that someone they knew had their phone cloned. They told me that T-Mobile, the company they were with, told them the phone was cloned. As we know, T-Mobile was breached, and I don't know about you, but I definitely don't trust them. Remember the following?

• Are you a T-Mobile customer? Better pay attention to this
• Are you a T-mobile customer? Better read this one
• Another t-mobile breach, the 4th in several years

Remember too, that Podcast 47 covered this in news notes and comments came in too. So there is plenty I covered. Please also read SIM swap scam from Wikipedia. As our main topic, I want to catch people up on what is going on with Trick Bot. The article TrickBot developers continue to refine the malware's sneakiness and power from Cyberscoop will be used in this discussion. The public on Clubhouse got in to a Spam discussion with one talking about the spam messages they were getting. While educational, we did some good laughs in this program and we thank everyone for participating on clubhouse's platform. Tunes were also played during the program. We thank you so much for listening and make it a great day!
