Yeah I agree the FTC article could be more clear here. I think they call out Western Union because those are tools that are commonly used by scammers.
But let’s be clear: the risks are the same if you are wiring money through Western Union or wiring through any other bank. Once you wire the money you do not have the same protections as other payment mechanisms. And if you don’t get the product as described, you are likely out your money. This is compared to other forms of payment like credit cards where you are protected. With a credit card you can issue a charge back to the seller and get your money back in the case of fraud. With a wire transfer you cannot.
Maybe the whole thing was intentional, right at the footer of viva "Cloud services by Microsoft Azure" ; #1 I've never heard of viva before #2 I've never seen an azure logo at the footer of a website.
If I were to test an email delivery system, I would test Gmail. I probably wouldn't test Google Workspaces, because I'd (wrongly) assume that they work the same.
No, just over 6 million paying business customers.
But hey, if you're in a business domain where categorically leaving 6 million potential clients-who-are-demonstrated-to-spend-on-things isn't an issue? One fewer thing to worry about, right? ;)
However, if I am reading this correctly, your PoC falls in the category described here: https://react2shell.com/
> Anything that requires the developer to have explicitly exposed dangerous functionality to the client is not a valid PoC. Common examples we've seen in supposed "PoCs" are vm#runInThisContext, child_process#exec, and fs#writeFile.
> This would only be exploitable if you had consciously chosen to let clients invoke these, which would be dangerous no matter what. The genuine vulnerability does not have this constraint. In Next.js, the list of server functions is managed for you, and does not contain these.
Context: This is from Lachlan Davidson, the reporter of the vulnerability
Your lump of AI-generated slop has detracted from the response to an important vulnerability. Congratulations. Your PoC is invalid and you should delete it.
