A Full Fact reader who was fooled by a fake gardening offer on Facebook has told us how the bogus post nearly cost her over £500. Sandy Hillery, 79, from Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire, contacted us to share her story after reading some of the fact checks we’ve written about fake offers circulating on social media. Sandy told us that she was tricked by a Facebook post claiming that the home improvement retailer Wickes was offering 96 packs of seeds for just £3. She said she “took the bait” and attempted to order after seeing the post, only to be contacted by her bank hours later who had stopped two suspicious transactions. Sandy is a keen gardener, and often sits browsing online in the mornings, having a cup of tea. One Sunday in early February she stumbled across a Facebook post that she said claimed to be from someone who had been queuing for the cashier in Wickes and had heard someone say people can get packs of seeds for free,  » Read More

Georgia and Cobb County prices remain lower due to tax suspension By Larry Felton Johnson According to the AAA fuel price webpage, the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline slightly exceeded $4 per gallon this morning. This is more than a $1 rise in prices since last month, before the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran. In response to the attack, Iran closed off the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow choke point into the Persian Gulf, sending oil prices into a continuing steep increase. Oil prices this morning stand at just over $103 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, and over $114 for Brent Crude. Brent is the main international benchmark for the oil market The fact that it is running about $10–$12 higher than WTI suggests ongoing global supply stress, since Brent is more directly tied to seaborne oil markets affected by international disruptions like the current war. Georgia gasoline prices are moderated by the suspension of the state’s fuel tax, and stand at an average of $3.625 as of this morning. Cobb County’s average is slightly higher at about $3.65. To read about the effects of Georgia’s fuel tax suspension, both on

B2B buyers consume content across multiple platforms at all hours of the day. A rigid, single-channel strategy simply falls short of reaching these buyers. To that end, a new social media platform is risiing in importance for B2B marketers to reach buyers: Snapchat. Recent data from the GWI B2B Research Study highlights a clear shift in buyer behavior. The survey of over 2,200 professionals aged 18-45 was divided into three categories: business decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and small- to medium-sized business owners. Snapchat officials said the research revealed a high-value audience that isn’t just scrolling; they are building businesses, managing budgets, and looking for inspiration for their next professional tool. For example, Snapchat users are 1.5 times more likely to hold executive management positions compared to non-users. The survey found these users prefer creating their own career paths rather than following traditional corporate ladders as they are twice as likely to run or launch a side business compared to non-users. Among SMB owners on the app, freelance consulting and e-commerce rank as the most popular business categories. Social Media, AI Impact Social media and artificial intelligence (AI) continuously shape how these professionals work. For Snapchat users, social platforms serve as their primary

WhatsApp is testing a native CarPlay app for iPhone users, and this update finally brings a proper interface to the car display instead of relying only on Siri voice commands. The new experience lets users view recent chats, access contacts, and start messages or calls directly from the dashboard while keeping interactions simple and controlled for safer driving. WABetaInfo reports that the feature is now available to iOS beta testers through TestFlight, where users can try a redesigned WhatsApp interface built specifically for CarPlay. “WhatsApp is bringing its messaging experience to CarPlay with a native interface designed for driving-friendly use. The beta app lets users access their recent chat list, view contact details, manage calls, and send messages while keeping their focus on the road.” — WABetaInfo A proper WhatsApp interface on CarPlay Until now, WhatsApp on CarPlay depended entirely on Siri, which meant users could only listen to messages and reply using voice, but they could not browse chats or pick contacts visually. With this update, WhatsApp adds a structured interface that includes light and dark modes and focuses on core features without exposing full conversations. The app opens with a chat list screen that shows recent conversations from

infosec in brief The cybercrime crew linked to the Trivy supply-chain attack has struck again, this time pushing malicious Telnyx package versions to PyPI in an effort to plant credential-stealing malware on developers’ systems. Ox Security warned on Friday that TeamPCP - the group researchers link to the recent compromise of open-source vulnerability scanner Trivy, which led to malicious LiteLLM packages appearing on PyPI - is back, this time with another compromise of a legitimate software package. In this case, the crew hit Telnyx, which offers VoIP services and AI voice agents. TeamPCP appears to have compromised the PyPI distribution of Telnyx’s Python SDK, replacing current package versions with malicious releases loaded with a multi-stage infostealer and persistence mechanisms. According to Ox, the malware added to the package is similar to the malicious code added to LiteLLM.  According to Ox, the Telnyx malware's main difference from the LiteLLM package is how it's installed: Instead of embedding malicious code directly in the file, the Telnyx package downloads its malware in the form of a .wav file that's decoded and executed on the target machine.  Telnyx told Ox in a post on X that it had found and resolved the issue, while
