#SW_ISAC_ADVISORY #Spam #CIB

I use #Google Messages for #texting. It's not bad but its only solid features are the #spam blocking and the fact I can use it in a web browser. Oh, and #RCS (as questionable as that may be).

I'd really like to move away from it because, well....Google, but I haven't found a suitable replacement - either on Google Play or F-Droid.

Most #SMS apps are rather bare bones when it comes to features. I am looking for something better.

I am on my second try for Messages on F-Droid but it once again never finishes syncing messages. I deleted over 60 large old conversations and still it gets to about 2/3 done before restarting. I let it run overnight and it never finished.

🏇 Sports and gambling are long time partners, and the 2026 Winter Olympics is no exception. 🥇 🏂

In recent years, higher adoption of digital payment methods, cheaper mobile internet, and legalization in more jurisdictions have rapidly expanded online gambling. Industry forecasts put the market at about USD 153 billion by 2030. Although more regions have moved from bans to regulated licensing, it hasn't eliminated illicit activities. There are many providers that are unlicensed, use offshore operators, and have been implicated in unlawful practices. One of the most prominent and controversial platforms is 1XBET, which offers betting on football, esports, and even weather events. Numerous investigative groups have questioned the legitimacy of 1XBET, and many users associate it with scams.

Last week, we observed a 1XBET email spam campaign targeting Burmese internet users. Emails were sent from mailer[@]1xbet[.]com via Melbicom SMTP servers (AS 56630) with the subject ❄️ 1xBet ရဲ့ Winter Olympics မှာ ပါဝင်ပြီး Legend တစ်ယောက် ဖြစ်လာလိုက်ပါ။. They also targeted the same audience through their Facebook account at https://www.facebook.com/mmsportsnet/.

Although online gambling is technically illegal in Myanmar, 1XBET continues to reach users through numerous mirror sites that can be quickly replaced when blocked. They also apply geo‑gating for additional protection. Our initial access attempt to 1xlite-03801[.]world was blocked, but switching to a South Asian endpoint allowed us to reach content at 1xlite-17342[.]bar.

Below is a subset of domains we have attributed to 1XBET and the associated spam campaign.

Mirror site domains:
10x-bet[.]org,10xbet[.]icu,11xslp[.]top,14xsl[.]top,1ex-bet[.]net,1x-bat[.]net,1x-vet[.]com,1xbat[.]xyz,1xbatdownload[.]com,1xbate[.]com,1xbeat[.]net,1xbed[.]net,1xbeet[.]icu,1xbetdemoaccount[.]com,1xbetslipcheck[.]com,1xbettingapp[.]com,1xbey[.]net,1xbst[.]org,1xbwt[.]org,1xdet[.]net,1xlk-chickenroad[.]com,1xslopi[.]top,1z-bet[.]com,2xslops[.]top,3xslo[.]top,42sport[.]ph,4xslo[.]top,5xslops[.]top,6xslops[.]top

⚠️ SCAM WARNING ⚠️

We’re getting blasted by a bot-driven barrage of accounts requesting Palestine aid.

These are the avatars being used, and account names look like this:

Mahmoud│⟪Hear Our Cries⟫
Mahmoud│⟪Feed Our Hunger⟫
Mahmoud│⟪Dry Our Tears⟫

The person in the photo may be real, but the accounts are not. They use signature spam methods.

Report, block, and DO NOT give money. Many already have. This is theft from real Palestinians.

Collage of four avatars, each showing the same person of Middle-Eastern ethnicity. Three are selfies: one in a refugee camp with a tent behind him, and two holding small children. The fourth shows him inside holding a baby.

Follow-up note…

There are lots of legitimate accounts on Mastodon that are seeking aid for Palestinians. This warning does NOT imply that they’re all scams. I am only warning about this one particular pattern.

Use your judgment about any mutual aid account. Please only heed my warning specifically about this particular pattern of accounts. The names/avatars here are the flags you should look for.

Give aid to legitimate folks who need it. 🙌🏻

I wish I knew which fake #bitcoin Exchange #Kitboga uses, cuz I'd rather try to make those #spammers suffer in it.

• But obviously, the first rule of #Spam is: NEVER REPLY!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgxdAaCwKMg

I find it funny how many shitty #Spam #eMails try to #blackmail the recipient.

Personally, the only recommendes step is to delete them unread and completely ignore them.

• Cuz any #blackmailer would know that without #evidence they can't really blackmail anyone!

Plus they don't even personalize messages.

Still, as they all ask for #Shitcoins like #Bitcoin, I just have a collection I got over the years on multiple occasions so #AntiFraud professionals & #Investigators can take a closer look and flag the Addresses for further analysis.

There’s a rash of #scam #spam coming from a real #Microsoft address

@WooShell itbdies: Having #HTML embedded that itbreloads, it verifies the reciever email address not only exists but there's a user to #spam!

@ustralien Obviously, #widthdrawals in the form of #subscription are the main leverage here and many if not all sites operate on 4 pillars to keep revenue incoming.

• It's easier to subscribe than unsubscribe. It takes more clicks or they try to prevent people aggressively from cancelling by not allowing cancellations as easy as subscriptions.
• Platforms don't just accept "no" and instead push for either 'returning customer spechal offers' or "pausing" a subscription at most.
• Most platforms incentivize people into "forgetting" that they still pay for a service they don't use. Compared to Services that are pay-as-ypu-go / pay-per-use they won't send #Spam to incentivize people to "retry" their service or buy something again.
• Add to that all the emotional manipulation and guilt tripping they can get away with legally.

Making "onboarding easy - offboarding painful, frustrating and hard" is something sites literally pay for!

Und in der Zwischenzeit werden die Hoster automatisch blocklisted!

➡️ Wie man #Spam-Versender wenigstens ein kleines bisschen leichter enttarnt, hat @zalintyre in einem Blogpost aufgeschrieben. Cleverer Ansatz, funktioniert, bis zu viele Leute das nutzen.

"Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

A cache of previously unreported documents reviewed by Reuters also shows that the social-media giant for at least three years failed to identify and stop an avalanche of ads that exposed Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp’s billions of users to fraudulent e-commerce and investment schemes, illegal online casinos, and the sale of banned medical products.

On average, one December 2024 document notes, the company shows its platforms’ users an estimated 15 billion “higher risk” scam advertisements – those that show clear signs of being fraudulent – every day. Meta earns about $7 billion in annualized revenue from this category of scam ads each year, another late 2024 document states.

Much of the fraud came from marketers acting suspiciously enough to be flagged by Meta’s internal warning systems. But the company only bans advertisers if its automated systems predict the marketers are at least 95% certain to be committing fraud, the documents show."

I gather they've finally taken this measure because of the preponderance AI-generated slop, but with any luck these other issues will improve too. The arXiv press release states “Review/survey articles or position papers submitted to arXiv without this documentation will be likely to be rejected and not appear on arXiv” so it does sound like they are acknowledging the other problems and intend to enforce their rules more strictly in the future.

"arXiv says it will no longer accept Computer Science papers that are still under review due to the wave of AI-generated ones it has received."
