GTA 6 Scams, Scattered Spider & The AI Plugin That Fooled Every Scanner

GTA 6 scams launched within hours of pre-orders going live. Scattered Spider's teenage hackers pleaded guilty for the TfL attack, and one of them was hacking US hospitals while on bail. And a fake AI plugin passed every security scanner because the malware only switched on after the check was done.This week on The Awareness Angle: why attackers are borrowing your trust instead of breaking it, what the TfL case tells us about where the real hacking talent is, and why a clean security scan no longer means what it used to.Also this week: 630GB of Apple and Tesla manufacturing secrets stolen from their supplier, three million Texans had driving licence numbers taken from a hunting licence database, fake receipts appearing in the Shop app for purchases you never made, ClickFix malware hitting Gizmodo readers through a compromised account, the White House app federal workers can't delete from their phones, and the cybersecurity firms including Huntress and HackerOne who got hacked through a marketing tool.00:00 Intro01:35 This week on The Awareness Angle02:52 Breach of the Week: Apple and Tesla supplier hacked, 630GB leaked07:43 Breach of the Week: 3 million Texans' driving licences stolen11:01 Fake receipts in the Shop app18:29 Scattered Spider guilty plea: TfL hack and US hospital attacks23:00 GTA 6 scams29:06 The AI plugin that passed every security scan36:46 Gizmodo ClickFix attack43:25 White House app on government phones48:57 Cybersecurity firms hacked through Klue54:09 Topic: Hosting malware on ChatGPT's own domain57:37 Topic: The TikTok inheritance scam DM1:02:13 Topic: Your address on the floor of a corner shop1:05:28 Topic: Google AI gets it wrong1:08:14 Topic: Luke's email from the US Defence Counterintelligence AgencySubscribe for weekly cybersecurity news made for humans, not just IT teams.The Awareness Angle is an independent podcast by Risky Creative, hosted by Ant Davis and Luke Pettigrew.Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-awareness-angle-newsletter-7274932363787132928/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7rwzcRsKrXbASFBfiXoCZ6Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-awareness-angle-cyber-news-weekly/id1784126196TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@antdaviscyberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/antdaviscyberLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/antdaviscyberWebsite: riskycreative.comOur Intro and Outro Song © 16 by Falling Foreverhttps://fallingforever.bandcamp.com/track/16Licence: Creative Commons CC BY 4.0
