Phishing Lures Utilizing a Single Google Cloud Storage Bucket

I have documented a campaign consisting of more 25 distinct phishing variants that all converge on a single Google Cloud Storage (GCS) infrastructure point.

Core Infrastructure:

  1. Primary Host: storage/.googleapis/.com
  2. Bucket/Object: /whilewait/comessuccess.html

Analysis Highlights:

Evasion Strategy: The campaign utilizes the inherent trust of the googleapis/.com domain to bypass SPF/DKIM-based reputation filters and secure email gateways (SEGs).

Lure Variance: Social engineering hooks include Scareware (Storage Full/Threat Detected), Retail Rewards (Lowe's/T-Mobile), and Lifestyle/Medical lures.

Redirect Logic: The comessuccess.html file serves as a centralized gatekeeper, redirecting traffic to secondary domains designed for Credit Card (CC) harvesting via fraudulent subscriptions.

Built a free live CVE intelligence dashboard β€” looking for feedback

Hey all,

I’ve been working on a live vulnerability intelligence dashboard that tracks trending CVEs, severity levels, and related social media activity in one place.

The goal was to make it easier to quickly see what’s gaining attention and what might actually matter, instead of scrolling through raw feeds.

Each CVE has its own page with:

  • Overview & description
  • CVSS score
  • Impact summary
  • References
  • Linked social media posts related to that CVE

It’s free to browse (no login required):

[https://leakycreds.com/vulnerability-intelligence](https://)

Would appreciate honest feedback β€” especially from folks who actively triage vulnerabilities.

What signals do you usually look at first?

What feature would you want to see here next?

Google and Cloudflare testing Merkel Tree Certificates instead of normal signatures for TLS

For those that don't know, during the TLS handshake, the server sends its certificate chain so the client can verify they're talking to who they think they are. When we move to Post Quantum-safe signatures for these certificates, they get huge and will cause the handshake to get really big. The PLANTS group at the IETF is working on a method to avoid this, and Merkle Tree Certificates are currently the way they're going.

Google and Cloudflare are going to start testing this (with proper safeguards in place) for traffic using Chrome and talking to certain sites hosted on Cloudflare. Announcements and explanations of MTC:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/bootstrap-mtc/

https://security.googleblog.com/2026/02/cultivating-robust-and-efficient.html

It might be a good time to test your TLS intercepting firewalls and proxies to make sure this doesn't break things for the time being. It's early days and a great time to get ahead of any problems.

Weekly Update 493

The Odido breach leaks were towards the beginning during this week's update. I recorded it the day after the second dump of data had hit, with a third dump coming a few hours later, and a final dump of everything the day after that. From what I hear, it dominated the news in the Netherlands, and we sure saw that through the traffic stats. Clearly, the leak cadence was designed for maximum news impact, and it seems to have achieved that. It may not have put any cash in the extortionist's pockets, but it's set a very visible precedent and, I suspect, put a massive law enforcement target on them. It's hard to image leaks of this impact continuing for much longer...

Weekly Update 492

Weekly Update 492

The recurring theme this week seems to be around the gap between breaches happening and individual victims finding out about them. It's tempting to blame this on the corporate victim of the breach (the hacked company), but they're simultaneously dealing with a criminal intrusion, a ransom demand, and class-action lawyers knocking down their doors. They're in a lose-lose position: pay the ransom and fuel the criminals whilst still failing to escape regulatory disclosure obligations. Disclose early and transparently to individuals, which then provides fuel to the lawyers. Try to sweep the whole thing under the rug and risk attracting the ire of customers and regulators alike. It's a very big mess, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

Well, the ESP32 Bluetooth bridge experiment was a complete failure. Not the radios themselves, they're actually pretty cool, but there's just no way I could get the Yale locks to be reliably operated by them. At a guess, BLE is a bit too passive to detect state changes, and unless it was awake and communicating, it just had no idea what was happening with the locks. So, I've now silenced all lock-related alerts and am focusing on making the wifi network as reliable as possible in the hope the locks actually become responsive. If that doesn't work, those Aqara U400s look really sweet...

A big "thank you" to everyone who helped me troubleshoot the problem with my "Print Screen" button on the new PC. Try as we all might, none of us could figure out why it refused to bind to SnagIt and instead insisted on dumping the entire collection of screens to a file on the desktop. But an especailly big thanks to the follower who later emailed me with an idea that didn't work, and followed up with an idea that finally did!

So, yeah, thanks Logitech for making this a real pain in the arse πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
