After filtering out obvious Plesk placeholder hostnames, wildcard junk, duplicate www…

  • 77.90.141.0/24 is a suspected stolen or misappropriated BGP prefix currently being used for QuickBooks callback phishing and abusive email delivery. In the phishing samples reviewed for this report, three separate emails were sent directly from hosts inside 77.90.141.0/24. Those messages impersonated Intuit and QuickBooks, used the same callback phishing template, and were still active as of 13 Mar 2026 PT. This post focuses only on direct evidence tied to 77.90.141.0/24. Nine phishing emails were reviewed in total. Three were directly…

  • On 12/17/2025, I received a “Verify your email address” message that appeared to be a legitimate Fedora Accounts verification email. The sender authenticated cleanly (SPF pass, DKIM pass, DMARC pass) and originated from Fedora infrastructure (fas@fedoraproject.org, via bastion.fedoraproject.org). But the HTML body contained a cryptocurrency-themed phishing payload that had nothing to do with Fedora. What the email looked like (the tell) The plain-text part was normal Fedora account verification copy: “This email address has been used to sign up for…

  • So I was researching a rarely seen threat vector of ESP (IP protocol 50) packets and stumbled upon VMISS Inc.
