I haven’t done a #CyberSecTotD on this.
But here is the EXACT scenario as to why I advise you to use a password manager for your phone instead of biometrics.
People can forcibly unlock your phone with parts of your bound body.
The amount of cybersecurity and personal identifiable information (PII) concerns I have from the use of this agent are EVEN more than I normally have.

The dead giveaway on this phish email which has a pictures from stopwatch of electricity management devices. Is that the response? Email was a junk address for something called CBBS sports that went to a definite phish email source.
Other other dead giveaways were actual quotes from Elon for a product, which is something he just doesn’t do and really bad graphic design on the discount line. The Google and the legal stuff at the bottom actually looks semi-decent except for the web URL.
I’m probably going to write a #CybersecTotD over the holidays but I got a really ridiculous email phish today that I couldn’t help but share. It has a lot of tell tale things (including spam and Elon!) but the big one was the reply to was explicitly CBBS Sports which was a phish email.
We are not going to get help from our banks or our credit card providers to avoid fraud.
So it’s up to us to be responsible. I hope these #CybersecTotD tips helped.
I was going to write my #CyberSecTotD today on holiday credit card fraud but I have a headache. So I think I might do a real quick one and add to it for points I forget.
So cybersecurity incidents and credit card fraud attempts always peak over the holidays because perpetrators are taking ..
I might actually write (voice to text in notes) my #CyberSecTotD on holiday credit card fraud.
Or I might watch ‘Pillars of the Earth’ with my son tonight.
Leaning towards the Follett.
To get you in the mood for my #CyberSecTotD on credit card fraud..
Here’s Malaysian-Singaporean pop royalty Cheryl K covering ‘Money, That’s What I Want’ featuring a rap transition by Awkwafina:

Well I have a good #CyberSecTotD for you folks tomorrow- I caught a zero dollar fraudulent transaction attempt and my credit card is now cancelled.
But especially around the holiday season it’s a good thing to check your online transactions regularly.
More to come.
I’ve seen this enough places on both LinkedIn and here now to know that this is likely legit.
Broadcom has been data breached by Clop Ransomware via Oracle E-Business Suite 0-Day Hack.
If it is legit this is a BIG ONE.

Great news. About bloody time Microsoft supported password managers. #CyberSecTotD
I guess this is my new #CyberSecTotD on password management.. what not to do?
Sorry to keep reposting this but if you are going to a rally this weekend I really want to make sure your cameras and phones are safe.
If you can do it.. I really urge you not to bring a phone to a protest. #CyberSecTotD
I’m gearing up to do a Cybersecurity Tip of the Month to share a cool cybersecurity puzzle game in my #CybersecTotD this weekend.
But I’ve been doing a lot of work around prompt engineering - would a tip around AI prompts and data and cybersecurity be of interest as a future topic?
I’m probably not getting to writing a Cybersecurity Bi-Monthly tip ( #CyberSecTotD ) until this weekend. But..
I texted a friend who had a birthday yesterday ‘Happy Birthday 🎂’ . Siri automatically added a screen balloon 🎈 to my message & asked me if I wanted to update my friend’s contact info 1/2
And as for my Cybersecurity series #CyberSecTotD I’m going to post something less than once a month but more than every two weeks.
I have a cool thing to share for my return post but if there are any burning cybersecurity questions you want answered… lemme know/ END
Martin is absolutely right that tax and tax refund season brings way more text phishes and emails.
Be skeptical and check text addresses , emails and websites.

I’ve decided I’m going to leave my next part of this post thread on biometric data and legislation to tomorrow. But I’m ending this #CyberSecTotD with one of my favourite scenes from John Wu’s ‘Face/Off’. Enjoy!

On today’s #CyberSecTotD we are finally going to do a Part Two on facial recognition. We are going to talk a bit about important places where you should obscure your face due to facial recognition systems and then I’m going to talk about legislation and biometric systems.
And then I was talking about the importance of cropping out faces or shooting your kids from behind if you are going to post on social media. #CyberSecTotD
Although we are talking facial recognition and biometrics today on our #CyberSecTotD- I wanted to repost two of my earlier threads on this subject. This one has a bit on it related to LLMs.
I hope you enjoyed today’s #CyberSecTotD on Adam’s work and facial recognition . I’m still feeling a bit under the weather so I’m taking a break until next Monday when I think I will finally tackle the Bluesky App Privacy Policy.
On today’s #CyberSecTotD we are going to be doing the start of what will be a two or three part discussion on facial recognition.
I hope you enjoyed today’s #CyberSecTotD. I hope you can go out and vote if you’re a Canadian on April 18-21 in advance polls or on April 28 on election day. In the meantime, stay safe out there.
On today’s #CyberSecTotD we are talking about elections again because we have a federal election here in Canada. I want to cover of a few things that we didn’t address the last time.
So I’m excited on today’s #CyberSecTotD that we are talking about something I know an awful lot about which is Customer Relationship Management (CRM) databases . This time - it’s in a political context.
It’s like the PC Party of Canada knew I was doing a #CyberSecTotD on this because I just got another election phish text!
I hope you enjoyed today’s #CyberSecMailbag for the #CyberSecTotD . Next week we will briefly talk about election phishing, and then we are going to get into the Bluesky App Privacy Policy, and facial recognition understanding and mitigation.
For today’s #CyberSecTotD we have a #CyberSecMailbag about what is the best email service to choose.
Although I could recommend brands I want to keep this a bit more general and talk about good criteria.
So my #CyberSecTotD is a resource that I shared in my Cybersecurity Basics session with the folk at @communityshield.bsky.social on the weekend.
We are all participating in more protests 🪧 now so I had a section of my talk on Cybersecurity for Activism.
