| Bitcoin Hackers Lots of people have made plenty of money on Bitcoin. This couple, for example, had $71M in Bitcoin back in 2016, and it’s now worth $4.5B (as in billion). Sadly for them, the Feds have now taken back $3.6B of that crypto… because all of it was stolen in a hack the couple pulled off six years ago. Looks like she’ll have to go back to her rap ‘career’.

| Instagram Likes Ever wanted to hide your ‘likes’ on Instagram (those that like your posts or others)? Now you can. |
| SIM Swapping Consider this another reminder to use multifactor authentication, and not the kind that sends a text message to your phone. Cybercriminals are now using social engineering, amongst other methods, to switch SIM cards on unsuspecting users’ phones. Once the card has been switched, the hacker can divert calls and messages to their own phone, then change passwords to gain access to bank accounts. |
| Security Updates This week’s security updates and alerts include one from the FBI regarding LockBit 2.0 ransomware (for your technical people in the crowd), a handful from Adobe, including Photoshop and Illustrator, for you creative types, a few from Apple, and a joint alert from US, UK, and Aussie officials regarding global ransomware attacks against critical infrastructure. |
