<p>🚨 Scam Alert: &quot;Verify your Fedi account&quot; Phishing Attempt 🚧</p><p>Attention everyone on Mastodon! There&#x27;s a scam making the rounds where malicious actors impersonate moderators or admins. They send private messages or make posts that mimic notifications, claiming that your account needs verification. These messages often include a link for you to &quot;complete the verification process.&quot;</p><p>⚠️ This is a Scam!</p><p>Your server admin will never ask you to click a link to verify your account.<br>No other admin from any other server will either, even if they appear to be part of the main Mastodon team.<br>If your account is suspended, you won&#x27;t receive a message about it. Instead, you&#x27;ll see a notification upon logging in that your account is temporarily suspended.</p><p>How to Identify the Scam:</p><p>Fake admin accounts often use names containing &quot;moderator&quot; or &quot;admin,&quot; but this doesn&#x27;t mean they are legitimate.<br>Legitimate admins or instance owners usually have a badge or marking on their profile indicating their role.</p><p>What to Do:</p><p>If you receive a message or post urging you to click a link to verify your account, report it immediately.<br>If you have any doubts about your account status, contact your server admin or moderation team directly.<br>To verify the authenticity of an admin or instance owner, visit the &quot;About&quot; page of your instance. This page typically lists contact information for the real team administering your instance.<br>Always be cautious when interacting with accounts claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance&#x27;s admin team.</p><p>Important Reminder:</p><p>Mastodon does not perform age verification. If you receive a message or post claiming to be from Mastodon or your instance&#x27;s admin team, always verify its authenticity before taking any action.</p><p>Reporting the Scam:</p><p>If you encounter this scam, report it to your instance&#x27;s admin team and use relevant tags, such as <a href="/tags/fediblock/" rel="tag">#FediBlock</a>, to help raise awareness.</p><p>Personal Note:</p><p>I&#x27;m not a cybersecurity expert, but I find this new scam in the Fediverse quite interesting. If you feel like sharing your experiences with me, I would appreciate it! I&#x27;m looking to collect cases and get a broader view of this phishing attack. Maybe I&#x27;ll even try to write a report about it. Feel free to tag me in any relevant posts.</p><p>Let&#x27;s stay vigilant and help each other stay safe online!</p><p><a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/scamalert/" rel="tag">#ScamAlert</a> <a href="/tags/phishing/" rel="tag">#Phishing</a> <a href="/tags/cybersecurity/" rel="tag">#CyberSecurity</a> <a href="/tags/onlinesafety/" rel="tag">#OnlineSafety</a> <a href="/tags/fediblock/" rel="tag">#FediBlock</a> <a href="/tags/staysafe/" rel="tag">#StaySafe</a> <a href="/tags/techcommunity/" rel="tag">#TechCommunity</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="/tags/scamawareness/" rel="tag">#ScamAwareness</a> <a href="/tags/securitytips/" rel="tag">#SecurityTips</a> <a href="/tags/reportscams/" rel="tag">#ReportScams</a> <a href="/tags/verifybeforeyoutrust/" rel="tag">#VerifyBeforeYouTrust</a></p>

Oh, your service logged me out for my security? Great, I&#x27;ll just open up the vault that contains my private keys so that I can open up the password manager with the master password of my other vault, which has the credentials I&#x27;ll use to log back into my account. And then to finish the login process you&#x27;ll send me a one-time password in clear text through SMS or email because those are the only options you offer for a &quot;second factor&quot;. I feel much more secure now thank you.<br><br>(For clarity this is a sardonic post).<br><br><a href="/tags/infosec/" rel="tag">#InfoSec</a> <a href="/tags/cybersecurity/" rel="tag">#cybersecurity</a> <a href="/tags/security/" rel="tag">#security</a> <a href="/tags/web/" rel="tag">#web</a> <a href="/tags/dev/" rel="tag">#dev</a> <a href="/tags/tech/" rel="tag">#tech</a><br>

<p>Are you interested in a different kind of security conference?</p><p>Then take a look at the Open Security Conference (<span class="h-card"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@OSCo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>OSCo</span></a></span>). <a href="/tags/osco25/" rel="tag">#osco25</a> takes place from October 2 to 5 in Rückersbach (Germany near Frankfurt) and registration is still open at <a href="https://opensecurityconference.org/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>opensecurityconference.org/</a>.<br>(this is an English version of the original German thread <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@realn2s/114936419689473030" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="infosec.exchange/@realn2s/114936419689473030"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">infosec.exchange/@realn2s/1149</span><span class="invisible">36419689473030</span></a>)</p><p>Why?</p><p>The Open Security Conference aims to be diverse and inclusive. This also includes different levels of knowledge and experience.<br>It is therefore not only for security experts or for people who have (already) worked in the security sector for a long time,<br>but also for people who are interested in security or want to get into the field.</p><p>The <a href="/tags/openspace/" rel="tag">#OpenSpace</a> format not only enables expert presentations,<br>but also non-expert topics or questions as session topics. Sessions are not resticted to presentations, they can be interactive, collaborative, workshops or basically anything else.</p><p>Since topics do not have to be submitted months in advance,<br>but the agenda is created jointly by the participants, hot topics can also be covered.</p><p>The conference is non-commercial, i.e. the total costs are shared between the participants (including the organizers).<br>The costs include accommodation and meals in the conference hotel.</p><p>And yes, there are also sponsors who cover part of the costs.</p><p>But not everything is different.</p><p>There are great keynotes e.g. by <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@bkastl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bkastl</span></a></span> (&quot;History repeating itself&quot;) and Mireia Cano (&quot;Building an AppSec Program from Scratch&quot;).</p><p><a href="/tags/cybersecurity/" rel="tag">#CyberSecurity</a> <a href="/tags/security/" rel="tag">#Security</a> <a href="/tags/infosec/" rel="tag">#InfoSec</a> <a href="/tags/appsec/" rel="tag">#AppSec</a> <a href="/tags/productsecurity/" rel="tag">#ProductSecurity</a> <a href="/tags/otsecurity/" rel="tag">#OTsecurity</a></p>

Das schließt auch unterschiedliche Wissens- und Erfahrungsstände mit ein. Sie ist also nicht nur für Sicherheitsexpert*innen oder für Menschen die schon lange im Sicherheitsbereich arbeiten.</p><p>Das <a href="/tags/openspace/" rel="tag">#OpenSpace</a> Format ermöglicht nicht nur Expert*inne-Präsentationen, sondern es können &quot;Halbwissen&quot;-Themen* oder auch einfach Fragen behandelt werden. Da Vorträge nicht Monate im Voraus eingereicht werden müssen sondern die Agenda von den Teilnehmenden gemeinsam erstellt wird, können auch brandaktuelle Themen behandelt werden.</p><p>Die Konferenz ist nicht-komerziell, sprich die Gesamtkosten werden zwischen den Teilnehmenden (inklusive Organisator*innen) aufgeteilt. Die Konsten enthalten die Übernachtung und Verpflegung im Tagungshotel.<br>Und ja, es gibt auch Sponsoren die Teile der Kosten übernehmen.</p><p>Es ist aber nicht alles anders.
