I was reading this and wondering why it was posted so high (I didn’t recognize the company name), and then I got to the name at the bottom. I think the lesson here is “if it could happen to Kurt, it could happen to anyone.” Yeah, the consequences here were pretty limited, but everyone’s got Some vulnerability, and it’s usually in the junk pile in the corner that you’re ignoring. If the attacker were genuinely trying to do damage (as opposed to just running a two-bit crypto scam), assuming the company’s official account is a fine start to leverage for some social engineering.
- akerl_ 1y agoI think you mean Kurt.
- stavros 1y agoIt would help if they mentioned his name anywhere in the post, title, or subtitle.
- roughly 1y agoYeah, that was definitely a pebkac on my part.
- roughly 1y agoYou’re right - I flagged on Thomas’s name in the signature and because I’ve seen him around here, well, forever, but Kurt is also extremely savvy.
