GCash Security Scare: Rethinking the Safety of Digital Wallets

-

A few days ago, many people woke up to find unauthorized transactions in their GCash mobile wallets. These transactions, which occurred at a rate of Php 2,000 per transaction, even affected a local actress, drawing widespread attention. While the technical cause of these unauthorized transactions remains a mystery, I believe it’s crucial to address the underlying issue: GCash, and other mobile wallet applications in general, are essentially digital versions of physical wallets. Storing money in wallets, whether virtual or physical, inherently carries risks, with theft being the most significant concern.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the DLL files are part of ESET’s anti-virus software, but the EXE file is actually a malicious data wiper but it was digitally signed by ESET. This malware has an interesting...

Wow! I Got Mail!

  It looks like a not-so-anonymous donor is willing to donate money for use in my non-existent "charity work in my area". 🤣 BUT SERIOUSLY... this is yet another example of threat actors that simply want to (a) verify my email address so they can continue sending me scam messages. (b) lure me in and scam me if I am greedy enough to "bite" into their lure.  Should anyone else receive a similar message, the best way to handle it is to simply ignore it and tag it as "junk email".  Oh, and if similar messages from unknown sources come your way... well you know what to do.
