‘Your photos will be deleted’: Apple users warned over ‘nasty’ iCloud storage scam | Scams

Published by Sam Flores

For a while you’ve been getting messages from Apple saying “your iCloud storage is full”. They say you have exceeded your storage plan, so documents are no longer being backed up, and photos you take aren’t being uploaded. You have been resisting Apple’s efforts to get you to pay a minimum of 99p a month for more storage. But it seems that you can’t keep putting off the inevitable: you have received an email which says your iCloud account has been blockedand your photos and videos will be deleted very soon. To keep them you need to upgrade immediately, it says. The next day you get another email saying that as you have not responded, if you do not take action, all your data will be wiped on the stated date. A scam email telling the recipient their Cloud storage is full. Photograph: Supplied The emails include a button you can click on to upgrade your iCloud storage. But the threatening messages are a scam impersonating Apple’s iCloud service, and the criminals behind them are …

Janet Jackson’s “Nasty” woman’s anthem

Janet Jackson’s “Nasty” woman’s anthem

Published by Sam Flores

If asked to picture Janet Jackson, one of three images likely comes to mind: “Rhythm Nation 1814” Janet, a revolutionary in a black uniform and cap, cutting the air with drill sergeant precision. There’s the Rolling Stone cover, where she poses topless except for her husband’s hands covering her breasts. And there’s the 2004 Super Bowl Janet, wearing shiny onyx with a bustier. Justin Timberlake was supposed to rip away one of its cups to reveal a red lace underlay. Instead, the wardrobe infamously “malfunctioned,” exposing her breast. The sight of those women generated so much chatter that many forgot the independence-minded 19-year-old who came before them. Forty years ago in February, Jackson wriggled free of her father Joe Jackson’s stifling management with the release of “Control.” It was her third album, and the first to establish her as a groundbreaking performer on par with her more famous brother, Michael. Today, Jackson holds five Grammy awards and a slew of other industry accolades. Billboard ranks her among history’s highest-charting musicians, naming her 1990’s Greatest Pop …

EastEnders star Michelle Collins has confirmed a change for her character Cindy Beale following a nasty fall that landed her in the hospital. Collins took to Instagram today to share with fans that she had been hospitalised after a fall while trying to stop her dog, Peggy, from running out the door. In her post, Collins thanked the NHS for her treatment and shared a series of hospital snapshots, including one of her on crutches and another in a wheelchair. BBC Related: Best streaming services She captioned the post: “Fell over trying to stop Peggy bolting out the door while staying with friends in Norfolk bashed my knee , cuts and bruises. “Staff were great , #efficient #kind despite apparently very low on hospital league table I would never have known from the service I got.

Urgent travel warning issued for Easter over spread of ‘nasty disease’ | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

Travellers heading overseas during the Easter break and spring travel period have been urged to take precautions against mosquito-borne infections. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned that while cases of dengue fever have fallen, chikungunya cases in England are at their highest point for more than a decade. Malaria cases in returning travellers also remain at a high level. Symptoms of chikungunya infection include a sudden onset of fever, usually accompanied by joint pain. While most people recover fully within one to two weeks, joint pain can persist for months or even years. In rare cases, the disease can be fatal, with the very young, older adults and those with other underlying illnesses at greatest risk. Dr Philip Veal, consultant in public health at UKHSA, said: “For some people chikungunya can be a prolonged and nasty disease and we continue to see cases in travellers returning to the UK, particularly from parts of Asia and the Indian Ocean region. “While this mosquito-borne infection is rarely fatal, it can cause severe joint and muscle pain, …

Court Filing Reveals Something Very Nasty About Mark Zuckerberg

Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Mike Winkelmann / Chanda Khanna / AFP via Getty Images Mark Zuckerberg has been accused of doing many seedy things on behalf of Meta’s bottom line, but the latest allegations may blow the rest out of the water. According to internal Meta emails and messages filed in a New Mexico state court case which were made public this week, Zuckerberg himself signed off on allowing minors to access Meta’s AI chatbot companions, even though the company’s safety researchers had warned that they posed a risk of engaging in sexual conversations. Per Reuters, the lawsuit alleges that Meta “failed to stem the tide of damaging sexual material and sexual propositions delivered to children” on Facebook and Instagram. “Meta, driven by Zuckerberg, rejected the recommendations of its integrity staff and declined to impose reasonable guardrails to prevent children from being subject to sexually exploitative conversations with its AI chatbots,” New Mexico’s attorney general wrote in the filing. The news of Zuckerberg’s blessing comes after some appalling stories of minors having …
