The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has abruptly shut down the Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC), the central hub for cybersecurity collaboration between the government and private sector. Why was it shut down? No one knows. What happens next? That’s the real concern.
In this episode, we break down why CIPAC was crucial for national cybersecurity, the risks of losing a coordinated threat intelligence network, and what businesses must do to stay protected. Without CIPAC, the responsibility to secure critical infrastructure now falls even more on private companies. Cybersecurity firms, like StoneFly, are stepping up to fill the gap—helping businesses secure data, manage risk, and prepare for a world where government-backed coordination is no longer guaranteed.
Join us as we discuss the hidden dangers of this shutdown, the potential for future government-private partnerships, and what organizations need to do right now to strengthen their security posture.

A new and incredibly deceptive phishing campaign is targeting Coinbase users—but this isn’t your typical scam. Instead of stealing your recovery phrase, attackers are handing you one—a pre-generated phrase they control—tricking users into creating wallets the hackers can drain instantly.
Disguised as an official Coinbase email, the attack bypasses traditional security checks, using a convincing story about a court-mandated shift to self-custodial wallets. The emails, which originate from a compromised Akamai account via SendGrid, direct users to the legitimate Coinbase Wallet app but instruct them to import a recovery phrase that’s already compromised. The moment victims transfer funds, their assets are gone.
We break down:
🔹 How this phishing campaign bypasses SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to land in inboxes.
🔹 Why this "reverse phishing" technique is a dangerous evolution in crypto scams.
🔹 The role of social engineering and trust manipulation in making this attack successful.
🔹 Coinbase’s response and why you should never use a recovery phrase given to you—ever.
🔹 Practical steps to identify and avoid crypto phishing scams before it’s too late.
🚨 Whether you're a casual investor or a seasoned crypto trader, this new breed of phishing attack is a wake-up call. Tune in now to learn how to protect your assets and stay ahead of cybercriminals! #CryptoSecurity #PhishingScam #CoinbaseHack
