Sellers can get scammed too, and Joe goes off on a rant about imposter syndrome

Summary: This edition of Cisco Talos' Threat Source newsletter covers seller abuse - ways adversaries trick sellers into being defrauded out of money - and argues the seller experience deserves as much attention as the buyer experience. The same issue notes a novel Linux backdoor used against education and public sectors in the US and Asia, a claimed data trove from IVF patients after an attack on Australian fertility provider Genea, and a fired federal cybersecurity employee's warning that veterans' financial and health data on a benefits website is at risk.

What's compelling: Most people will never face a nation-state actor, but almost everyone has bought or sold something online, and the newsletter notes adversaries know the systems they manipulate well and have fine-tuned the art of fraud - so the practical exposure sits in the links and redirects your users click, not in the headline threats.
