🔍 AWS published behavioral guidelines for network scanning to help legitimate scanners distinguish themselves from malicious actors when probing AWS IP space. The guidance defines four pillars—observational, identifiable, cooperative, and confidential—and gives practical examples (non‑mutating checks, reverse DNS, meaningful user‑agents, opt‑out mechanisms). Conforming scanners should limit impact, secure collected data, and respect opt‑out requests to reduce abuse reports and improve internet security.

⚠️ The FBI warns that cybercriminals impersonating bank and payroll support teams have stolen over $262 million in account takeover (ATO) fraud since January 2025, with more than 5,100 complaints reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center. Attackers use calls, texts, phishing sites and SEO‑poisoned search results to harvest credentials and MFA/OTP codes, then quickly wire funds to crypto wallets and lock owners out. The FBI advises monitoring accounts, using unique complex passwords, enabling MFA, bookmarking official banking sites, contacting financial institutions immediately to request recalls and indemnification, and filing detailed complaints with IC3.
