    Anyone else noticing Fortinet brand misuse online

    I agree. General warnings fade into the background, but concrete cases stick with you. They also spark discussions like this, which is useful.

    Anyone else noticing Fortinet brand misuse online

    True, some campaigns disappear fast once they get attention. Others keep resurfacing under slightly different names. That pattern alone makes tracking them tricky.

    Good point. My guess is it starts automated and then gets adjusted manually once traffic comes in. That is just speculation though. Attackers tend to invest more effort if they see results early on.

    Yeah that trust factor is huge. Once a name is familiar, people kind of go on autopilot. I have seen this with other vendors too, not just Fortinet. It usually starts with a few fake pages and then suddenly there are dozens indexed.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    I also found it interesting that they tailor instructions based on the operating system. That shows a lot of effort to bypass even cautious users.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    It seems the campaign is carefully planned, with staff and customer touchpoints. Even though reports are public, the full scale is probably bigger than what’s documented.

    Simulations are helpful, but I think this campaign is evolving faster than many awareness programs. The embedded videos and countdown timers are designed to pressure users into acting quickly.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    True, the sophistication is what worries me. Even IT-savvy staff could be tricked if the page looks authentic. Maybe two-factor authentication could help reduce risk for staff accounts.

    Curious about the recent ClickFix phishing attacks on hotels

    Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea hotel systems could be targeted in such a detailed way. The clipboard hijacking part is especially scary because people might not even notice anything is wrong. I wonder if this is affecting only big chains or also smaller local hotels.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    Even lightweight virtual environments or disposable browsers could help. It’s better than nothing, especially if the file isn’t expected.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    That’s a good point. I’ve read about similar malware using RATs to infiltrate networks from personal devices. Makes securing home devices almost as important as work ones.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    I also wonder if this is just a regional problem or global. The report didn’t mention geography, but since Google Drive is involved, it could potentially reach anyone.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    Definitely. Also, showing file extensions by default seems basic, but I feel like most people don’t bother. That alone might prevent a lot of accidental downloads of these fake PDFs.

    Has Anyone Seen Reports About Guloader and Remcos RAT

    I think the report didn’t specify companies, just that it’s been happening broadly. The scary part is the use of Google Drive links to download the malware it makes the attachment look more trustworthy. Even tech-savvy people might click without thinking if it’s framed as a performance review.

    Paxful platform changes and user experiences

    I think the safest move for anyone still on Paxful is to start moving funds out gradually if possible. The public records give some hints about the winding-down process, but there’s still a lot we don’t know.
