Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s Weekly Breach Breakdown – supported by Sentilink. I’m James Lee, the ITRC’s COO and this is our final episode for the year, December 6th 2024.

Each week on this podcast, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today we’re going to broaden our focus a bit to talk about a copyright scam that’s primarily aimed at small businesses – including the ITRC – that is using some of the latest technology to commit fraud.

The Weekly Breach Breakdown Podcast by ITRC - Copyrightcat - S5E37

This song is a bold and unapologetic rebuke to all the scammers and con artists on SoundCloud who relentlessly target unsuspecting victims. With a message that's both timely and timeless, the song calls out the fake promises, lies, and manipulative tactics used by these scammers. The lyrics are a powerful declaration of resistance and resilience, refusing to give in to the constant barrage of scams and schemes. The song is an anthem for anyone who's tired of being targeted by scammers on SoundCloud and a warning to those who would try to take advantage of others.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Tired of the lies, tired of the games
Fake promises and scams, all just a shame
You think I'm naive, think I'll fall for your trap
But I see right through you, you're just a waste of my time, that's a fact 

[Chorus]
Leave me alone, with your fake proposals and your lies
I'm not buying what you're selling, I see the scam in your eyes
You're just a predator, preying on the weak
But I won't be your victim, I'll make my own way, unique 

[Verse 2]
You say you've got a client who wants my face in a painting
But I'm not buying it, your scam's not worth my explaining
You claim to work for a label, scouting for the next big thing
But I know you're just a scammer, trying to make a quick sting 

[Chorus]
Leave me alone, with your fake proposals and your lies
I'm not buying what you're selling, I see the scam in your eyes
You're just a predator, preying on the weak
But I won't be your victim, I'll make my own way, unique 

[Bridge]
I'll keep on making music, for the sake of my art
I won't let you bring me down, I'll rise above your sinful heart
I'll keep on shining bright, like a star in the night
And you'll just fade away, like a distant, fading light 

[Chorus]
Leave me alone, with your fake proposals and your lies
I'm not buying what you're selling, I see the scam in your eyes
You're just a predator, preying on the weak
But I won't be your victim, I'll make my own way, unique 

[Verse 3]
You're just a master of manipulation, a king of deceit
You prey on the vulnerable, with your fake promises so sweet
But I'm not buying what you're selling, I see right through your game
You're just a scammer, with a bad reputation, and a shame 

[Outro]
So listen up, you scammers, take heed of my warning sign
I won't be your next victim, I'll make sure to shine a light
On your fake schemes and your lies, I'll expose you for what you are
A scammer, a fake, a master of nothing, but a fallen star.


Scammers Beware!

Today on the Show...
Broc was the victim of  large phone scam and we go off about ones that happen to us and more!
Plus MCU and DCU news as well, streaming and toy news and much much more!

Episode 54: The Guys are Annoyed with Phone Scams!

--------------
Frisk explores Papyrus' internet history, then checks his emails. They click on a link, an ad for "free kromer", and suddenly Papyrus' computer has a virus that goes haywire.

If this were a game, I'd imagine there would be windows that Frisk has to close in time, along with mini Spamtons running across the screen. Frisk must navigate to the anti-virus to be rid of it.

A.S.S. 226: All My Homies Got A Code

Hey, I'm AshVA! (dis: ashtheva) Here is my AU.

Quantum Leap is an original Undertale AU that takes place in an altered timeline where certain events of Undertale that don't happen, end up happening. Frisk enjoyed spending time with their friends so much, that they abused their power to reset in order to relive the pacifist route. However, on the final reset, the FUN value went over 100, which caused the entire game to break and reboot. After this, a lot of things have changed. Frisk falls into the Underground later than expected, Asriel doesn't die, but Chara still does. Both Asgore and Toriel still rule, but Asgore is incredibly sick, so Toriel rules, Papyrus makes it into the guard and helps people throughout Snowdin Town, and much more!

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently and will be releasing those very soon. 

I hope you enjoy them. And thanks to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support.
