They moved from California to start fresh — a small town in Iowa, a charming house with room for their kids, dogs, and dreams. But the house had other plans. The first red flag? The door slammed and locked her outside on Day One. In her pajamas. No wind, no trick latch — and worse, it kept happening. Always to her. Never anyone else. But that was just the beginning. One morning, as they unpacked and settled in, their dog Ranger began fixating on the basement door, ears perked, tail stiff. Then, from the other side of that door, it began: frantic paws pounding up the stairs, sharp scratching, high-pitched barking — the sounds of a trapped dog begging to be let out. Problem was, all their dogs were upstairs. Frozen in place, they watched the door rattle as Ranger barked back, hair raised. Convinced a stray had somehow gotten inside, they opened the basement door slowly, expecting a small dog to rush out. But there was nothing. Not a sound. Not a shadow. The basement was completely empty. The phantom sounds were so real, even her skeptical husband couldn't explain it away. Over the next four years, more incidents would occur. This would not be their last encounter with the unexplained. Was it a residual haunting? The spirit of a beloved dog long gone? Or something far stranger? #GhostDog #HauntedHouse #BasementGhost #RealGhostStory #PhantomSounds #ParanormalIowa #GhostBarking #RealHaunting #UnexplainedEvents #SpiritsOfPets #IowaHaunting #MidwestParanormal Love real ghost stories?

Many local policymakers make decisions based on a deep-seated belief: what's good for the rich is good for cities. Convinced that local finances depend on attracting wealthy firms and residents, municipal governments lavish public subsidies on their behalf. Whatever form this strategy takes—tax-exempt apartments, corporate incentives, debt-financed mega projects—its rationale remains consistent and assumed to be true. But this wasn't always the case. Between the 1870s and the 1970s, a wide range of activists, citizens, and intellectuals in New York City connected local fiscal crises to the greed and waste of the rich. These figures saw other routes to development, possibilities rooted in alternate ideas about what was fiscally viable. In The Menace of Prosperity: New York City and the Struggle for Economic Development, 1865–1981 (U of Chicago Press, 2025), Daniel Wortel-London argues that urban economics and politics are shaped by what he terms the “fiscal imagination” of policymakers, activists, advocates, and other figures. His survey of New York City during a period of explosive growth shows how residents went beyond the limits of redistributive liberalism to imagine how their communities could become economically viable without the largesse of the wealthy. Their strategies—which included cooperatives, public housing, land value taxation, public utilities, and more—centered the needs and capabilities of ordinary residents as the basis for local economies that were both prosperous and just.

Rover was not convinced after watching "The Truth about Jussie Smollett?" 

J: 2/10 M: 1/10 Each week we choose a movie from one of the horror genre to discuss the following week. Follow along each week by keeping up with the movies we are watching to stay in the loop with the movie club! Check out other podcasts, coffee and pins at www.darkroastcult.com ! THANKS TO ANDREW FOR MAKING THE INTRO SONG. (soundcloud.com / andoryukesuta)@andoryukesuta In the early morning hours on November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr. murders his entire family with a rifle at their home of 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. One year later, middle-class newlyweds George and Kathy Lutz move into the house with Kathy's three children from a prior marriage: Greg, Matt, and Amy. Despite George's irreligiousness, Kathy, a nominal Roman Catholic, requests Jesuit priest Father Frank Delaney to bless the home. Delaney arrives while the family is out boating. Upon entering the house, Delaney is swarmed by flies upstairs and hears a hostile voice ordering him to leave, causing him to flee. The next day, Kathy's aunt Helena, a nun, visits the house but becomes violently ill and leaves abruptly, confounding Kathy. The Lutzes' domestic life begins a sharp decline over the ensuing weeks: George becomes uncharacteristically volatile and abusive, and obsesses over keeping the home warm with firewood, despite Kathy's insistence that it is not cold. George recurrently awakens at 3:15 a.m.—the same time the DeFeos were murdered—while Kathy suffers disturbing nightmares. Before Kathy's brother Jimmy's engagement party one night, $1,500 cash to be paid to the caterer inexplicably goes missing in the house. Meanwhile, Jackie, the babysitter watching Amy for the evening, is locked inside a bedroom closet by an unseen force. Further unexplained incidents occur when one of the two boys suffers a crushed hand when a sash window falls on it, and Amy has an imaginary friend, Jody, who seems to be of a malevolent nature. One night, Kathy glimpses two red, swine-like eyes outside Amy's second-story bedroom window. Delaney makes several attempts to intervene that seem to be thwarted by unusual accidents and occurrences: His phone calls to the home are frequently experienced by Kathy as static noise, and on one occasion his car malfunctions en route to the house, nearly causing a fatal crash. Convinced there are demonic forces at work, Delaney grows frustrated by the lack of support from his superiors in the diocese. Meanwhile, George's land surveying business begins to suffer due to his lack of attendance, concerning his business partner, Jeff. Jeff's wife, Carolyn, who has psychic proclivities, is both repulsed and intrigued by the things she feels when at the house.

Around 200 people packed out the Mt Eden Village Centre in Auckland last night, and they were pretty riled up. In fact, many were furious over plans for high rise apartments and the loss of special character status for hundreds of villas and bungalows in the wider neighbourhood. And this is the kind of feeling that is being felt across many different Auckland suburbs, and it will be coming to a city or town near you. As we were discussing last week, draft plans for Auckland City would see Auckland's skyline in for a major makeover, increasing the city's capacity for new builds from 900,000 under the 2016 unitary plan to accommodating two million new homes. That's a lot. And it might be easy to dismiss the concerns of residents as being those of Boomer NIMBYs just worried about the house prices, but there are very real concerns that intensification on that level could be disastrous if there isn't careful planning. Communities aren't just about putting a roof over a head – you need infrastructure that can support those homes, like stormwater, like wastewater, like schools. It's estimated that if you want two million further dwellings, you'll need 56 more primary schools, 23 more secondary schools – good luck with that. I would argue you'd need loads of green spaces as well – lungs for the city. And I am not convinced that we have learned lessons from the past. Chucking up shoe boxes is not good for anyone, any neighbourhood, any city. Thoughtful, well-designed, high-density developments can be built and can live alongside those established character homes. I'm just not entirely convinced that we can do it in New Zealand. I would love to see evidence of it. I mean the closest I can get to is Stonefields and possibly Hobsonville Point. Perhaps some of the developments around Tauranga, they look to be reasonably well done, although there have been issues with the amount of traffic that suddenly appeared on the roads and the congestion that is caused. Give me an example of where thoughtful high-density development has taken place and I'd love to hear it. I'm just not convinced that when we go up, we know how to do it properly. We need more homes for more people. Absolutely we do. We need a variety of different homes, we need them to be near public transport and cycleways, hence the suburbs that are under question. We cannot simply keep up swallowing arable land. We need to go up. And I think the communities who are close to public transport hubs close to the city know this, they just want to know that the developments will be well planned and well supported by the necessary infrastructure. Who can blame them for being sceptical that this will happen? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Waiting until you feel ready to make your next move? Convinced you need more training before you can call yourself an expert? Think entrepreneurs are just naturally fearless? Join me as I talk with traditional Chinese medicine doctor, Dr. Lorne Brown, about the mindset shifts we need to make to move through fear and think like an entrepreneur. Lorne shares how he built a thriving practice by flipping conventional wisdom on its head, committing first to a meaningful challenge, then finding courage, building capability, and finally gaining confidence. You'll hear his adaptation of Dan Sullivan's "Four Cs" framework for tackling scary ventures, how he persisted in building trust with referral partners, even when the doors kept closing, and the real story behind building something meaningful when you have no idea what you're doing. We explore how to reframe rejection as valuable feedback, why your niche might need to choose you, and the inner work (cognitive, emotional and spiritual) required to become a clear vessel for inspired action. This conversation is for any practitioner who's been playing it safe, overthinking their next move, or struggling with the gap between wanting to grow and actually taking action. If you've ever felt paralyzed by not knowing enough or not being ready enough, this episode will shift how you think about courage, competence, and what it really takes to build something that matters.

The ACTivate Vitality program is taking new participants in September and we are really good at creating the safe space and accountability you need to implement just what Lorne and I talk about in this podcast.  Questions OTs are asking: How do I overcome fear of starting my own practice? What mindset do I need to be a successful healthcare entrepreneur? How do I build confidence in my business abilities? What's the difference between successful and struggling practitioners? How do I know when I'm ready to take the leap? Meet Jane Jane is an EMR with heart and also the sponsor of The BRAVE OT Podcast.

Luke 9:1–6 (ESV) And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.Wrong Emphasis - CALLED TO DOSpecific FollowersSpecific GiftingSpecific PlaceSpecific OutcomeBiblical Emphasis - CALLED “TO BE”Every Follower‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬ After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go.How did the 12 disciples feel when the 72 were sent?How did the 72 feel when the crowds were sent?YOU are called - there is no caste system.Biblical Emphasis - CALLED “TO BE”Every Action1 Corinthians 10:31 (ESV) So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.Yes, gifting, but it doesn't make you more important, just unique!Biblical Emphasis - CALLED “TO BE”Every Place Not just churchMark 16:15 (ESV) And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.

A 76-year-old man rushes through the dark with a suitcase, desperate to catch a train to meet his beautiful young girlfriend in New York City — except she doesn't exist, and he'll be dead within hours.READ, HEAR, or WATCH: https://weirddarkness.com/meta-ai-chatbot-death/= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =WeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.

Vic Verchereau welcomes Madeline Fabiano Blair, who is the Owner Emeritus at Fabiano's Candies. In 1924, 14-year-old Michael Fabiano of Holland told his father the family's ice cream parlor would be the perfect place to make and sell top-quality homemade candy. Convinced by his son's enthusiasm and determination, Charles Fabiano bought a local candy operation and moved it to their ice cream parlor. It was an instant success! Eleven years later, Michael married Jane Coscarelli and moved to Lansing. Here, Mike taught Jane how to make candy using only the finest ingredients, without shortcuts, to get the very best results. Together, they passed the art on to their children and grandchildren. Today, Fabiano's Candies is a fixture in Michigan's capital city. Its enduring tradition of quality and service lives on through daughter, Madeline Fabiano Blair and grandson, Steven Blair.

Simon's live update for LBC News, the UK's rolling news station, with John Stratford presenting Thursday's drivetime sequence.

For months, she was the only one in her building who treated the homeless veteran outside with kindness—bringing him home-cooked meals, listening to his stories, and offering a sliver of dignity in a life clouded by addiction. When he died suddenly in the lobby bathroom, she thought the bond they shared had ended. But soon after, strange things began happening—stall doors rattling, toilets flushing on their own, cupboard doors slamming, and lights flickering in direct response to her questions. Convinced it's him, she feels his presence lingering… but now, she wonders if she can help him find peace and, perhaps, a way home.

Podcast link: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/0rxAKr2uJVbThe companion volume to The Earth Chronicles series that reveals the identity of mankind's ancient gods• Explains why these “gods” from Nibiru, the Anunnaki, genetically engineered Homo sapiens, gave Earthlings civilization, and promised to return Zecharia Sitchin's bestselling series The Earth Chronicles provided humanity's side of the story concerning our origins at the hands of the Anunnaki, “those who from heaven to earth came.” In The Lost Book of Enki we now view this saga from the perspective of Lord Enki, an Anunnaki leader revered in antiquity as a god, who tells the story of these extraterrestrials' arrival on Earth from the planet Nibiru.In his previous works Sitchin compiled the complete story of the Anunnaki's impact on human civilization from fragments scattered throughout Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Hittite, Egyptian, Canaanite, and Hebrew sources. Missing from these accounts, however, was the perspective of the Anunnaki themselves. What was life like on their own planet? What motives propelled them to settle on Earth--and what drove them from their new home? Convinced of the existence of a lost book that held the answers to these questions, the author began his search for evidence. Through exhaustive research of primary sources, he has here re-created tales as the memoirs of Enki, the leader of these first “astronauts.” What takes shape is the story of a world of mounting tensions, deep rivalries, and sophisticated scientific knowledge that is only today being confirmed. An epic tale of gods and men unfolds, challenging every assumption we hold about our past and our future.

After surviving a harrowing shipwreck, the apostle Paul found himself on the shores of an unfamiliar island. Cold and weary, he gathered wood to build a fire, hoping to bring warmth to himself and the others who had endured the storm. As the flames rose, a venomous snake, driven out by the heat, latched onto Paul's hand. The islanders watched in horror. Convinced this was divine justice, they whispered among themselves, “He must be a murderer. Though he escaped the sea, fate will not let him live.” But Paul, calm and unwavering, simply shook the creature off into the fire. He suffered no harm. Amazed, the villagers changed their minds. No longer did they see him as cursed—they began to believe he was someone extraordinary, perhaps even divine.

Karl Brauer joins Diane King Hall to discuss Rivian (RIVN) ahead of earnings. He dives into the reasons why EV sales are struggling in the U.S. and what it means for companies like Rivian, Tesla (TSLA), Lucid (LCID) and traditional automakers. Karl touches on the loss of the EV tax credit and how it weighs on pricing for EV companies. He says multi-car households, climate regions and functionality continue to lead EV buying trends but says there's still hesitancy among most buyers.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The movie starts harder than any kids movie has ever started before. The movie? Intense. And we see a little Gordon Bombay get told from his coach that it all comes down to him and losing isn't an option, he proceeds to miss the goal and lose.Cut to present day, Gordon Bombay is now a brash defense attorney that wants to win at all costs. After winning his latest case, he celebrates with some drinking and driving. He gets pulled over and that's not good.This gets back to his boss, Mr. Ducksworth. He puts him on paid leave and tells him he's been given 500 hours of community service coaching pee-wee hockey.Speaking of hockey, we meet the team. A group of rag tag kids who love pranking random people with dog poop. They also love hockey despite the fact that they suck at it.Coach Bombay gets out there and sees the team. They're currently 0-9. He starts by telling them he doesn't like kids. He tells them to scrimmage while he gets on a phone call in his limo. The kids don't scrimmage. Instead, they jump on the limo and begin to shake it. They get inside and demand a ride when Charlie's mom, the mother of one of the kids on the team, shows up, yells at Bombay and makes Charlie come home.  Wouldn't you know it, their first game is against the Hawks - Bombay's old team that is still coached by his old coach, Reilly. The Hawks are a legit hockey team. District 5? Not so much. They don't even have the right equipment. They get absolutely destroyed. Convinced that they can't win with their play, Bombay teaches them how to take the fall, act hurt, and get indignant. Charlie's not having and refuses to play by Bombay's silly rules.Bombay, feeling a bit lost, goes to talk to his old mentor Hans who gives him the kick in the pants he needs to remember his love of hockey.He goes to apologize to Charlie and his mom and ends up staying for dinner. He is feeling inspired and convinces Ducksworth to sponsor the team.Bombay is suddenly the greatest coach of all time. They even tie a game.Bombay recruits three new players: siblings Tommy and Tammy Duncan, who are skilled figure skaters, and Fulton Reed, a giant who shoots a puck like a bullet out of a gun.Bombay discovers that due to rezoning, Hawks' star Adam Banks should be playing for the Ducks, and forces Reilly to transfer him. While arguing with Reilly, Bombay sarcastically says that the kids don't deserve to live. They take that personally for some reason and refuse to play the next game.Ducksworth calls Bombay and tells him he either lets Banks play for the Hawks or he's fired. Bombay says quack quack quack and leaves to go make up with the kids.The Ducks begins to win a lot thanks to their regained trust of Bombay and the addition of Banks, despite the fact that he is a cake-eater. They make it to the championship against the Hawks. The Hawks strike early and go up 3-0. Reilly wants to make sure it's a blow out by ordering his players to take Banks out. Literally puts him on a stretcher.Bombay tells Reilly he's going down and go gives the pep talk of all pep talks. They pull out all the stops. Fulton's big time. Figure skating. The flying V. and finally, when they need it the most, it's the triple deke to win the game.They celebrate by Bombay kissing Charlie's mom in front of everyone which is out of line if you ask me.The movie ends with Bombay boarding a bus to go try out for the minors again, his dream alive again. But promises he'll be back for next season no matter what.

When two-year-old Khandalyce Pearce vanished, police were baffled that her mother, Karlie, hadn’t reported her missing. What no one realised was that Karlie Pearce-Stevenson had already been murdered years earlier, her remains discovered in Belanglo State Forest in 2010—eight years before Khandalyce’s name would make national headlines. The true shock came from the killer’s calculated deception: for years after Karlie’s murder, her killers and their associates sent fake text messages and made calls using her mobile phone, convincing family and friends she was still alive. Author Ava Benny Morrison joins Jessie to step through the case of Karlie and Khandalyce and explain how law enforcement agencies around the country managed to solve the case of The Lost Girls. This episode first aired in 2019 and marked one of the earliest major cases on True Crime Conversations. We're re-releasing it today for listeners old and new.

Framed for a Bigfoot CrimeA former convict prohibited from using firearms, went bow hunting for deer in Ohio after a heavy snowfall. While tracking a wounded 14-point buck, he followed its trail with his brother-in-law's bloodhound, Lovebug, until the dog refused to proceed out of fear. Continuing alone, Bobby found where the buck had died, but it was gone, replaced by large, barefoot human-like footprints. He followed these tracks for hours, eventually discovering a thicket with the buck's remains, surrounded by various-sized footprints and a human skull. Realizing he was in what he believed to be a Bigfoot den, Bobby took a photo, grabbed the buck's head, and fled after hearing a roar. He reported the findings to authorities, who investigated and found more human remains. Bobby was detained for 12 days without charges, questioned repeatedly by federal agents who insisted he claim a bear took the deer. Eventually, he gave the “correct” answer to secure his release, but his buck's head was confiscated for hunting violations, and he lost his job. Convinced of Bigfoot's existence due to the footprints, roar, and scene, Bobby shares his story despite believing the government is covering up the truth.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

The lives of all who commit themselves to serve God travel along their own particular paths. Paul in his letter to the Romans, we read today, reflects on the life of Abraham as “he grew strong in faith” and how he became “fully convinced that God was able to do what he promised.” [Ch. 4 v.20.21]Abraham's faith went from strength to strength, he believed from his heart what God said. Paul says, “He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body which was as good as dead (he was now about a hundred years old) or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. No distrust made him waver … “ [v.19,20]Now compare David's situation with Abraham. David was despondent, he had climbed the pinnacles of faith but then his thinking and resultant behaviour had hit a blind spot after his actions with Bathsheba. God's words bore heavily on his mind, “because you have despised me … I will raise up evil against you out of your own house” [2 Sam. 12 v.10,11] It is clear David experienced deep depression, he ceased to be actively involved in administering justice and Absalom, as we read today in Ch. 15, took advantage of this.David was overwhelmed by events, his faith had lost its focus, but, in his inner being he knew all was in the hands of God and he clung to that conviction. We read today how he flees from Jerusalem, saying, “If I find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me back.” [v.25].It is a contrast in some ways to Abraham who grew stronger in his advancing years. Jeremiah's challenges are different again. Today we read how he is told by God, “Behold I am bringing such disaster on this place that the ears of everyone who hears of it will tingle.” [Ch. 19 v.3]In this 21st Century we have more in common with Jeremiah than with Abraham and David. Jeremiah was to be in the midst of the disaster, brought by God because of the people's total ungodliness – and he survived it. .In coming days we will read how God reveals warnings to Jeremiah about “the latter days.”.(Ch.23 v.20; 30 v.24). If we really meditate on these warnings they will cause us to think of the greater challenges our own journey in faith is going to face as our world is overwhelmed by God's judgements – these challenges may be quite near so let us become “fully convinced that God (is) able to do what he promised” and make sure ‘we are on the Lord's side.'

Have you allowed the Holy Spirit to bring conviction of sin into your sin, so that you can be converted? If so, will you allow the Holy Spirit to show you your utter depravity so that you can sanctified?

This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Josh Hensley is joined by Cliff, Tate, and Nora for a lively conversation that blends fun, faith, and reflection. The team dives into Cliff's sermon on Romans 8, exploring what it means to be fully convinced of God's love and promises—especially in seasons of struggle versus seasons of success. They unpack “mountaintop vs. valley” experiences and share personal testimonies of God's faithfulness in hard times.   Alongside the deeper discussion, they play a spirited round of “Convinced or Confused?” debating everything from pineapple on pizza to daylight savings time and whether cereal counts as soup. Nora also highlights the church's local and global mission opportunities, including the new prayer wall in the missions hallway and ways to get involved without leaving Hopkinsville.

The Phillies returned from the all star break with a whimper rather than a bang. Only taking 1 out of 3 games against the Los Angeles Angels. Despite this optimism around the Phillies is still fairly positive with the idea they are still a lock to make the playoffs. Joe Giglio of the midday show is not that convinced they are an absolute lock for the playoffs! Do you think the Phillies are a lock for the playoffs?

Tobin kicks off Hour 3 fired up after spotting Bam Adebayo and Luka Dončić getting chummy together on vacation in Greece. Convinced this is the beginning of something big, he passionately yells at Pat Riley to “make it happen!” — bringing Luka to Miami. Leroy and Brittney, however, are quick to bring him back to Earth, calling him completely delusional. Next up, the guys react to AJ Greer taking the Stanley Cup back to his tiny hometown in Canada. With the Cup now on its victory tour, they debate who we should really be worried about bringing the Cup to some place wild next. Then it's time for Tobin to reach into the Mixed Bag: Derrick Lewis delivers a classic post-fight message for his wife Erik Spoelstra gets emotional about Duncan Robinson's departure And Spo makes it clear he's not buying into the “Eastern Conference is wide open” narrative — not for one second. Another hour packed with chaos, laughs, and just the right amount of delusion.

This week, our hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Dave Bittner⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Carrigan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (also host of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠T-Minus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Space Daily show) are back sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with a ton of follow-up—from a sextortion scam that triggered a bot frenzy on Facebook, to sandboxed scam-baiting with fake credit cards, to a surprise magazine subscription that may or may not involve chicken gods. Plus, one listener wonders: do people really know what a strong password is? Dave's story is on a massive China-linked scam where hackers are spoofing big-name retail websites—like Apple, PayPal, and Hermes—to trick shoppers into handing over their payment info on convincing fake storefronts, with thousands of fraudulent sites still live and targeting victims worldwide. Joe's got the story of a sneaky spear-phishing campaign targeting financial execs with fake job offers that ultimately install a legit remote access tool, NetBird, to gain stealthy, persistent access—part of a growing trend where attackers use real software and clever social engineering to fly under the radar. Maria's got the story of a young homebuyer who lost $109,000 to a payment redirection scam, prompting Australian banks to finally roll out a “Confirmation of Payee” system to prevent similar fraud—though critics say the fix still puts too much blame on victims. Our catch of the day comes from the Scams sub-Reddit, where we hear about a scam getting people to click on a fake job that's too good to be true.
