The Security box, podcast 50: 62% of free services are abused

Welcome to the security box, podcast 50. On the big 50th episode, we've got quite a bit of news notes to cover this week. Besides that, we're continuing with Phishlabs and their ongoing rundown of the Q1 Intelligence Report, this time, talking about free tools and their abuse. We hope that users find this of interest like I did. Of course, the lines of communication are always open whether on the show or podcast. <h3> Topic: </h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://info.phishlabs.com/blog/62-of-phishing-sites-abuse-free-tools-or-services">62% of Phishing Sites Abuse Free Tools or Services </a> Phishlabs </li> </ul> <h3> Sans News Bites </h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://view.email.sans.org/?qs=592b74bba5b8735e5095f60a24d31c74b2bf23ced8e65cd596e78c597b68a1fe9f19a955818ce9f84265af27d03f2f81e7625879d252895e16ce038427d94f5f978dad2c84163a84">Sans News Bites for June 25th, 2021 </a> covers tons of stuff including Del, Vmware and more </li> </ul> <h3> News Notes </h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/06/mybook-users-urged-to-unplug-devices-from-internet/">MyBook Users Urged to Unplug Devices from Internet </a> Krebs on Security </li> <li> <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/06/mass-data-wipe-in-my-book-devices-prompts-warning-from-western-digital/">“I’m totally screwed.” WD My Book Live users wake up to find their data deleted </a> Ars Technica </li> <li> <a href="https://www.cyberscoop.com/grand-theft-auto-hack-sims-monero/">Hackers are using bootleg copies of 'Grand Theft Auto V' game to mine Monero </a> Cyberscoop </li> <li> <a href="https://www.cyberscoop.com/conti-ransomware-tulsa-police-hack/">Tulsa police say 18,000 files are leaked after Conti ransomware hack </a> Cyberscoop </li> <li> <a href="https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/06/nfc-flaws-let-researchers-hack-an-atm-by-waving-a-phone/">NFC flaws let researchers hack an ATM by waving a phone </a> Ars Technica via Wired </li> <li> <a href="https://www.cyberscoop.com/john-mcafee-dead-suicide-spain-jail/">John McAfee fo
