How to Spot a Fake Twitch Viewer and Keep Your Channel Safe

Jan 12, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Spotting fake Twitch viewers isn't about protecting your channel, it can also be about figuring out how to avoid getting caught if you're buying viewers. Some streamers learn how to identify fake viewers in order to keep their channels safe, yet these viewers (unless in massive numbers) won't necessarily affect channels. They're simply everywhere. On the other hand, people want to learn how to spot bots in order to buy some and go undetected. Either way, with technological advancements in bots these days, the main thing to pay attention to is unnatural behavior.

Jan 9, 2026 By Sheena Kretzmer In Memcyco

Security teams generally face a clear decision: handle takedowns internally using tools and SOC workflows, or rely on managed domain takedown services. What is less clearly understood is that this decision is not really about preference or maturity.

Account Takeover Prevention for Credit Unions: What Actually Works in 2026

Jan 1, 2026 By Julian Agudelo In Memcyco
Account takeover prevention for credit unions has reached an inflection point. One concept underpins most modern failures: the timing gap, the period between a member engaging with a scam or impersonation interaction and the moment a security or fraud team becomes aware of risk. During this gap, access is often treated as legitimate even though compromise has already occurred.

Dec 30, 2025 By Ezra M. In Memcyco
Fraud analysts know the pattern too well. After an account takeover incident, the postmortem confirms what happened. A stolen credential was used. A bot executed a replay. A mule account attempted a transfer. Yet the origin of the compromise remains unclear. The postmortem becomes an autopsy on a loss that already occurred. The core issue is the Window of Exposure.

Social Engineering Tactics 2026: How Attackers Are shifting from Email to 'Swipe-Up' Scams

Dec 23, 2025 By Ezra M. In Memcyco
The image of the cyber attacker is changing. For years, the industry focused on email gateways and typo-squatted domains like citi-bank-security.com. But according to Tzoor Cohen, CTI Lead at Memcyco, the battleground has shifted. In 2026, the most dangerous social engineering tactics typically don’t start in an inbox. They start on social media, utilize legitimate infrastructure like Bitly, and exploit the user interface (UI) of mobile devices to hide malicious intent.
