Following weeks of pushback from the #auto industry, #Trump softened his #tariffs on foreign auto parts #imports to give #carmakers credits for what is produced in the #UnitedStates & to avoid #DoubleTariffs on raw materials used in auto production. However, the White House has not rescinded a 25% #tariff on the 8 million vehicles the US imports annually.

Analysts have said US auto #sales could drop by >1 million vehicles a year if tariffs remain in place.

Threat Insight

🚨 New threat research from Proofpoint 🚨

We have observed a notable increase in high-volume Japanese language campaigns targeting organizations in #Japan to deliver a phishing kit that Proofpoint researchers refer to as #CoGUI.

Blog: proofpoint.com/us/blog/threat-

Most of the observed campaigns impersonate well-known companies, mainly consumer and finance brands, with the objective of stealing usernames, passwords and payment data.

CoGUI has some similarities to a phishing kit known as Darcula. Both are used by Chinese-speaking threat actors.

Notably, Proofpoint observed more finance-related #CoGUI campaigns in April 2025 following the reciprocal #tariff announcement by the U.S. government, and some CoGUI campaigns have used tariff-themed lures.

The CoGUI kit has several advanced defense evasion techniques. Proofpoint has created detections and Emerging Threats rules to combat this activity.

See our blog for full campaign details, examples, Emerging Threat detections and IOCs.

Western alienation is real, and is to a great degree justified. Note: I'm not a separatist or anything, I'm not partisan (no Canadian party represents my views), I just live in the prairies and have a front-seat view.

The issues that cause this #alienation are longstanding. This didn't just arise because of Trudeau, or even just because of the last generation of governments. It goes back further than that. The west sees many reasons to believe (rightly or wrongly) that they get short shrift from the federal #government.

One recent example: Ottawa saw a threat to Canadian auto workers (southern Ontario only, natch) in desirable Chinese electric vehicles that have taken much of the world by storm. So Ottawa slapped a 100% #tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. It's not only the US that can play stupid games.

The #stupid prize they won is a 100% #tariff by China on the import of Canadian canola oil and #canola meal. This is a hugely important cash crop all across the prairies, and China represented farmers' biggest #market. This tariff has decimated that income. Farmers are hurting because of it, and the prairie provinces' economies are still significantly tied to #agriculture.

Ottawa basically doesn't care. Have to protect Ontario jobs. Eastern farmers aren't affected. Why do anything to help prairie #farmers and provinces?

Note this is just one example. There are many, in all areas of society, politics, and economics.
