😎"Sick of people calling everything in #crypto a #Ponzischeme. Some #cryptoprojects are #pumpanddump schemes, while others are #pyramidscheme. Others are just standard issue #fraud. Others are just #middlemen #skimming off the top. Stop glossing over the #diversity in the industry."😂

Some Tips on How to Check if a Screenshot Has Been Photoshopped


The image shows a smartphone with a camera icon on its screen, which is being examined closely by a magnifying glass. In the background, there is a spiral notebook and some red warning signs. The scene appears to be set on a light-coloured surface, possibly a desk or table.
Well, maybe they should not have given away how to easily fake a screenshot yourself, but still some useful tips to keep in mind. It helps to know what to zoom in on to look at.

I did not know about the Forensically app, which is a web based app that can analyse any image in depth and create heatmaps of stuff that’s been edited in.

Online shopping syndicate warning in South Africa


A woman wearing a black hoodie which is obscuring the top of her head. Her hands are holding a toy size shopping trolley in front of her.
Hot on the heels of today’s report about some incredibly weak passwords that South Africans are using online, and then re-using across other websites, comes this warning now about very realistic looking fake online shopping sites that closely resemble the real brand.

We have Black Friday coming up, as well as the festive season, so everyone is looking out for bargains. We should never be clicking on links we receive over instant messengers or e-mails, but now you want to be doubly sure you are actually on Takealot, or whatever site you expect to be on.

I’d suggest you check the URL carefully before making purchases, and rather use your saved bookmarks to access sites you regularly use. Your password manager refusing to show a login, is also a sign you may be on a fake site.
