xylogx@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon Warns 220 Million Customers Of Prime Account AttacksEnglish12·3 months agoThe relevant bits:
Pieter Arntz, a malware intelligence researcher at Malwarebytes, has issued a timely July 16 reminder that “scammers are impersonating Amazon in a Prime membership scam.”
The cause of Arntz’s reminder, and the underlying Amazon warning to all 220 million Prime customers, however, was a spike in email attacks claiming that subscription rates are about to rise, along with a cancel subscription button that would lead to Prime account credential theft.
This is stupid. As an IT administrator a quick glance at my logs shows that everyone is using ChatGPT. No one cares about Copilot.
edit: So I guess the point is that IT admins are frustrated that Copilot for users in an org is $30 per month vs $10 per month for a home user. Again, I don’t buy it. If I think of all the ways MS is screwing me, this is not high on the list. Microsoft’s predatory bundling practices have driven the cost of their services to a ridiculous point, well before this Copilot noise.
