Really? Rule #1 of the internet: Anything free will be abused. Anti-abuse should be by design, not an afterthought. It should be easy to find, typically a "Report Abuse" in the footer if not in the header. @SimpleSiteHQ
Currently @WeTransfer and file sharing resources is being used to attack small businesses (and possibly others) with malware downloads with a low detection rate. @Fin24 @EngNewsZA @kaspersky Eg: virustotal.com/gui/file/e672…

Fraud. South Africa and certain other African countries have an extremely bad rep abroad. 😟

Is there any authoritative guide? tshwane.gov.za/sites/Departm… says no load shedding in progress. If there was, group 13 would have been from 9 to 11? We're trying to plan.

I simply hate #BlackFriday due to all the #spam. Example - @Travelstart spammers - I asked them in 2012 to remove me (see pic) - just received a SMS Text spam now from them 11 yrs AFTER using them! So much for the ECTA 2002, CPA 2008, privacy, ethics and law

kbd -a disable .. KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable - "Game over" disabled ;) However once we have physical access, it's game over for anything.

Cameroonian Pet Scammers in South Africa are becoming extremely brazen, threatening victims with physical harm to extort more money once the scam is up. @MbalulaFikile #cybercrime #moneylaundering Checks on extortioner leads to scamnumbers.info/shownumber/… @ScamNumbers

Please DO NOT use Truecaller. Read the #ToS. That is how scammers and spammers get your details. The cure is worse than the cancer! If Carte Blanche wants to see it in action, DM me.
Why do companies warn consumers of spoofs, yet loathe to actually do anything when they receive good information? #Tokenism is easy.
Point is the consumer can't afford the protection, yet is the training ground for tomorrow's threats. Lots of #CyberIntel
What does the world know of the commodity scam targeting business? US BBB had article on pet scams, same coin. Leads to massive CC theft

No. Because all those services target commerce in a bid to make money. The weak link is the consumer. Who protects them?

Did YOU actually read what was replied? Your forms DO NOT cater for DoS attacks! Let me paste it here. So is LOIC a content issue? #ITSec

What hides behind the "humble" pet scam? Anything from puppies to CITES protected Asian Arowana, the setup for... fb.me/CBlNHQkI
But in the hidden corners of some data centers, the Sun will never set. At least not for a long time.

Ported many a SunOS user to Solaris. Did many ports and hardware swops from Sun4d/Sun4m to the Ultra series. Installed 10k's .... sad. 😢

@hacks4pancakes What real protection does the international consumer have? LE? That's after the fact. 1000's become victims daily. #LowFruit
