Speaking to a multi-family-office real estate investor, he mentioned that his colleague mis-sent $125 million in a San Francisco commercial real estate transaction closing, with the funds ultimately routing off to Nigeria. Yes, $125 million!
Armand here, RPost’s armadillo product evangelist. By now, you’ve probably heard about the Microsoft and CrowdStrike update issue that caused mainly large companies using cloud PCs to crash and display the infamous blue screen of death.
It’s your favorite brand ambassador here to report the latest in tech as well as how RPost is on the cutting edge of stopping cybercrimes from happening. I’m back home this week in West Texas all alone; just like some of the latest cybercriminals.
Armand here, RPost’s Armadillo product evangelist, hailing this week from wet and rainy Scotland (it rained a lot this week!). I’m here at the Association of Corporate Counsel Europe annual conference, discussing cyber-risk and sharing step-by-step how cybercriminals are orchestrating their attacks.
Armand here, RPost’s product evangelist, writing from beautiful Charlotte. I’ve been discussing security and AI at the International Legal Technology Association conference along with some of my human RPost teammates, Gerlyn, Arianna, and Laura.
Armand here again reporting for Tech Essentials. This week, I’m writing to you from…my mom’s basement. This is so that I can try and get in the mindset of a cybercriminal trying to leverage AI to perpetrate a sophisticated email scam.

We’ve had a few days of insightful discussions at the world’s largest legal IT security event, ILTA LegalSEC. Since many of you are not able to (or not in the right frame of mind to) travel to beautiful Baltimore to experience this event live, I thought I would dedicate this week’s Tech Essentials to sharing the top three FBI-special-agent speaker insights (from my perspective).
You may wish you were one of the zombies from The Last of Us after a BEC attack. Previously on Tech Essentials, we introduced you to the cybercrime phenomenon initiated by Email Eavesdropping and ending in a mis-wire, in part 1 of a 3-part series we’re running.
