I only give my real number to people, not companies

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-08 04:00:41

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I shudder every time I get a phone call from an unknown number. I dread looking at the hundreds of unread text messages in my inbox. No, I’m not being melodramatic. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been very lax with securing my phone number. Every app, every food delivery service, every shopping website that I’ve logged into has my phone number. At the time of signing up for these services, it seemed like the obvious thing to do. After all, if the delivery guy n

Apple Calendar spam on the rise again, mostly crypto scams

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-10 10:53:41

We first saw Apple Calendar spam almost a decade ago, when it hit such levels that the iPhone maker issued an apology and said that it was blocking suspicious senders. We’ve seen the problem re-emerge several times since then, with Apple even publishing a YouTube video on how to remove it. Despite all of these efforts, however, it seems to be spiking again … Spammers send calendar invitations containing links, most of them taking the form of cryptocurrency scams. Several of us at 9to5Mac have

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-01-01 14:03:15

While even tech-savvy users can fall for elaborate phishing scams, most attacks are designed to target less technically inclined people. With that in mind, the new Messages app in iOS 26 introduces (or better yet, removes) two things that could make a pretty big difference in keeping users safe, regardless of how familiar they may be with phishing tactics. The new Messages app splits conversations into a few categories, accessible via the filter button in the top right: Messages, Unknown Sende

US government’s vaccine website defaced with AI-generated content

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2026-03-20 20:36:03

In Brief A U.S. government website designed to inform the public about vaccines has been defaced and now hosts apparently AI-generated spam.

It’s unclear who is responsible for it, or what is the purpose of this defacement other than pushing AI-gener
