Does anyone else here toy with scammers -- at least occasionally -- to figure out what their strategy is?
I'm no "Mike Rafone," but I do give occasional presentations on how normal people can make life harder for cyber criminals. So, it's good for me to play along sometimes to keep abreast of current trends.
Tangentially, and someone recommend a good book or scholarly article on now cyber criminals are structured and what the economic inputs and outputs look like? Literally the commission structures and how much these people have to spend in order to get 1 victim and how many victims per month is typical for a given style of scam. If that sounds like "Gang Leader for a Day" but for modern cyber crime, that's exactly what I want to read.
"Know thy enemy" and all that.

The most interesting thing about the new SearchLeak attack on Microsoft 365 Copilot isn't any single bug. It's that none of the three pieces was dangerous on its own. Varonis combined a prompt injection via a URL parameter, an HTML rendering race condition, and a server-side request forgery in Bing's image search. Each of these is a common bug that security teams usually consider minor. But when you put them together with a Copilot that can access your mailbox, OneDrive, and SharePoint, they create a critical flaw. Microsoft has since patched this issue (CVE-2026-42824).
This is how the attack worked:
* The victim clicks a link. That's the whole interaction. They type nothing.
* The link instructs Copilot to search the mailbox, find sensitive information such as access codes, and place it into an image URL.
* Bing retrieves that image, which sends the stolen data to the attacker's server. Bing serves as the delivery service, allowing the attack to bypass the content security policy intended to stop it.
From the user's perspective, Copilot just pauses for a moment. There is no visible sign that any data has been taken.
In the past, we've spent years rating bugs by their severity on their own. An SSRF here, an HTML injection there—each seemed minor. But when an AI assistant can follow instructions from untrusted input and access your real data, those minor bugs become much more serious. Old types of vulnerabilities become important again in this new context.
If your company uses Copilot or any AI assistant that can access company data, it is important to ask your team how they are rating bugs that affect it. The way we judge what is low risk has changed.

#CISA Tells US Agencies to Fix Security Bugs in as Little as 3 Days Thanks to #AI Threats
https://www.wired.com/story/cisa-ai-vulnerability-directive/
The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman is demanding answers from CISA about an alarming data exposure incident wherein a contractor leaked oodles of internal CISA passwords -- including multiple AWS GovCloud credentials -- in a public GitHub profile for six months until notified by Yours Truly. The letter this week from Sen. Chuck Grassley (IA) is notable because he's the most senior lawmaker to inquire about this colossal screw up so far, and he's a Republican.

**First entry into RetroShare: how to find peers**
In RetroShare you don’t “find people” in the usual sense. You don’t search — you agree. This is a fundamental mindset shift; without it, the first launch will always feel empty.
The first thing to accept: there is no global lobby in RetroShare. The emptiness after installation is not a bug, but the honest state of a network without links. Until you have trusted contacts, you literally have no network.
**The basic method — out-of-band contact.**
Peers are found outside RetroShare. These are friends, colleagues, members of thematic communities, people from Matrix, XMPP, IRC, Mastodon, forums — any place where key exchange can happen safely. RetroShare does not start with a “search” button, but with the phrase: “here is my key.”
**The second path — a control peer.**
The most reliable way for first entry is a second instance you control, or a pre-arranged experimental partner. This removes uncertainty: if the connection fails, the issue is technical, not social.
**The third path — thematic islands.**
There are small RetroShare communities built around ideas: privacy, P2P, darknet research, offline activism. They are not widely advertised because the network is not designed for random influx. Entry always starts with dialogue, not a click.
**What does not work.**
Publishing keys into the void. Waiting for someone to add you. Relying on auto-discovery. This is centralized-network thinking applied to a system where it has no meaning.
**How to know you’ve found a peer.**
The contact comes online. The connection stabilizes. Services start working: chat, forums, file exchange. At that point RetroShare stops being an abstraction and becomes an environment for communication.
**Bottom line:**
in RetroShare, people appear first —
and only then does the network emerge.
