I don't have access to a @PayPal business account, but @atjontv does, and was able to recreate this exact attack, explaining the one part I was unsure on, and confirming the rest. (Screenshots in thread, shared with permission) 🧵

Given the shitty place the world is in right now, I stopped tweeting and just retweeted things about Ukraine 🇺🇦. I'll keep doing that, but I also wanted to announce that I’m working with @elixirlang for @Apple to help with apple.com/2030, which is pretty fantastic.

This is such a phenomenal dive into how and why social engineering works, along with some glittery justice. You'll want to watch it all. The biggest ups to @MarkRober, @JimBrowning11, and @ScammerPayback. youtube.com/watch?v=VrKW58MS…
