Your DNA has no reset button!
California’s attorney general announced a $6 million settlement with the company formerly known as 23andMe over its 2023 breach, which hit nearly 7 million Americans. (It still needs a judge’s OK.)
The twist: 23andMe went bankrupt and sold customers’ genetic data and spit samples to a nonprofit started by its own cofounder.
You can cancel a stolen credit card in five minutes. You can’t cancel your genome. And your DNA is your kids’ DNA, too.
Do this today:
Got a Frontline letter? Sign up for the free monitoring, for you and your kids. Questions go to 1-800-759-7279.
Freeze your credit at Equifax, Experian, TransUnion and Innovis. It’s free. You can freeze your kids’ credit, too, even if they’ve never had a card.
Used 23andMe? Log in and go to Settings > 23andMe Data > View. Download your data if you want it, then click Permanently Delete Data and confirm through the email they send.
Get your spit sample destroyed under Settings > Preferences. Pull research permission under Research and Product Consents.
Tell your parents and siblings. Their DNA tells on you. (Seriously.)
You can’t un-ring this bell, but you can lock the doors.

It's NOT your password. It's your email address!

Use a "vault email" address!

You can have the strongest bank password on Earth, and it won’t matter. All a crook needs is your email. Click “Forgot password?” and your bank sends the keys straight to the inbox where you also gave access to a pizza coupon site. One hacked inbox can unlock your checking, retirement and medical accounts at once.

Here’s what you need to know. Your bank doesn’t really care about your password. It cares about your inbox. That’s where every “Forgot password?” link lands.

So if a crook gets into the same address you gave Target, a sketchy coupon site and 47 newsletters, they can reset your Chase login in minutes.

About 6 million Americans had an account taken over in 2025, an 18% jump in a year. Email was the most hijacked account that wasn’t a bank account. Such takeovers cost Americans more than $15 billion last year. That’s your cash walking out the door.

The fix is cheap and boring, which is exactly why it works: a vault email. It’s a second address used only for money and medical accounts.

Nobody else knows it exists, so nobody can phish it. That’s the important part.

FAKE FREE HOTSPOT

A crook can set up a free hotspot with the same name as the coffee shop’s, and your phone may join it without asking. From there, every site you visit runs through his laptop. And that padlock you’ve trusted for years? Google pulled it from Chrome, because nearly every scam site has one, too.

Let me clear something up first. Your password isn’t floating through the coffee shop for anyone to read. Most websites and banking apps scramble what you send. Chrome warns you before opening a site that doesn’t.

The problems? Plenty.

What can still go wrong

The fake network. A crook names a hotspot “Coffee_Shop_Guest.” Your phone joins. Now your traffic runs through his laptop, and he can steer you to a look-alike bank login.

The trap page. Many networks make you click through a sign-in page. A fake one can ask for your email password or a card number. Real ones don’t need either.

The padlock lie. Nearly all phishing sites have one. Google dropped it from Chrome because people thought it meant safe. It only means private, even on a fake.

The names still show. Even on a secure connection, the network can see which sites you visit and when.

Old apps and devices. Not everything encrypts, especially that app you never update.

Before your next latte:

Check the exact network name with an employee.

Turn off auto-join for public Wi-Fi on your phone and laptop.

Bank on cellular data instead.

The easy fix for public Wi-Fi

A VPN closes most of these gaps. It wraps everything leaving your device in an encrypted tunnel before it ever hits that sketchy network. The coffee shop sees you’re on a VPN. Not your bank. Not your email.

NordVPN is a good one. Check it out!

You get:

Auto-connect. It turns on by itself when you join Wi-Fi, so you never forget.

Threat Protection. This blocks known dangerous sites and trackers.

Kill Switch. It cuts your internet if the VPN drops, so nothing slips out unprotected.

Coverage. One account covers up to 10 devices.

Send this to someone who checks their bank account at the airport gate.

Hidden camera detector

This gadget rides along on all my trips. It picks up signals from bugs and GPS trackers and helps spot camera lenses. I once found 11 in one Airbnb. I sleep easier knowing I’ve checked.

COMING TO YOUR BASKETBALL!

A sensor that weighs about as much as a paper clip is being tested inside an NBA basketball. It can tell who touched the ball last and whether a fingertip changed its spin. Hawk-Eye cameras already track every player in 3D. The robot ref is warming up on the bench.

The NBA is testing tech that could make some calls on its own, and fans get flashy new replays and stats this season.

The NBA season tipped off Tuesday. This year, the refs, the replays and even the ball have new help.

The league already tracks every player and the ball in 3D with Sony’s Hawk-Eye cameras, from the same company behind tennis line calls. The goal is to eventually make out-of-bounds and goaltending calls automatically.

Wilson is testing a ball with a sensor that weighs about 1 gram. It can tell who touched the ball last before it went out, and whether a fingertip changed its spin. Players in tests reportedly didn’t notice a difference.

It’s still a test, not making calls in real games. Commissioner Adam Silver has floated using it as soon as next season.

The Golden State Warriors’ Draymond Green is wary of AI creeping into basketball, though he admits it could cut human mistakes. Every fan who has screamed at a TV knows which side they’re on.

What changes on your screen

The camera flies. Amazon’s games on Prime Video add Prime 360. A ring of cameras captures every angle, and Amazon’s computers rebuild the play in 3D, so the replay swoops through the action like a video game camera. Prime opened its season Friday, Oct. 23, with Knicks-Celtics and Rockets-Spurs, both included with Prime.

Ask the app anything. The NBA App has Ask NBA, a chatbot that answers questions about games, players and stats. “Who’s shooting best from three this month?” Done.

A live game dashboard. Game Pulse in the NBA App shows a court map, shot charts, highlights and quick takes from legends like Gary Payton and Muggsy Bogues.

New stats with funny names. A Handle Score grades how well a player dribbles. Your nephew will cite it at Thanksgiving.

A mystery? Feet Washing Ashore? All about being in "buoyant" shoes!
Dozens of Human Feet Washed Ashore in the Pacific Northwest Inside Sneakers; Investigators Ruled Out Serial Killers — but the Real Explanation Is Even More Unsettling

Dozens of Human Feet Washed Ashore in the Pacific Northwest Inside Sneakers; Investigators Ruled Out Serial Killers — but the Real Explanation Is Even More Unsettling
On August 20, 2007, a 12-year-old girl was on the beach at Jedediah Island in British Columbia when she spotted a blue-and-white running shoe — men's size 12 — lying in the sand. She looked inside and found a sock. She looked inside the sock and found a human foot.
Six days later, a couple hiking nearby found another sneaker on Gabriola Island. Also a right foot. Also a men's size 12. Different shoe, different person. "Two being found in such a short period of time is quite suspicious," a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer told the Vancouver Sun. "Finding one foot is like a million to one odds, but to find two is crazy."
Then five more turned up the following year. Then more after that. More than 20 confirmed human feet have now washed ashore across the Salish Sea — the stretch of coastal waterways connecting British Columbia and Washington state — almost all of them in sneakers.
Everyone Had a Theory. Nobody Was Right.
The real answer involves crabs.
Laura Yazedjian, Human Identification Specialist, BC Coroners Service
Once free, the foot floats. Starting in the mid-2000s, sneaker makers began using lighter foam and gas-filled cushioning pockets that made modern soles genuinely buoyant. A foot in an older shoe stays on the seafloor. A foot in a modern running shoe floats to the surface
The most recent confirmed human foot washed ashore in Victoria in July 2023. In December 2025, a Puma sneaker turned up in Washington — but forensic testing found it contained bear remains, not human. Every new find still has to be checked.
Barb McLintock of the BC Coroners Service put it best. She's not surprised the feet keep coming. She's more struck by how many probably never will.
"Presumably there probably are a bunch of running shoes bouncing around out there," she said. "But no one's ever going to find them." See less

Meta still gets paid when the store is fake

The trap is an AI-built fake store running ads. Meta reportedly makes $7 billion a year from scam ads while people lose billions. The FTC has sued Meta, accusing the company of misleading users about safety.

The scam site has glossy photos, reviews, a return policy and a full catalog, all generated by AI in minutes. The crazy part? Crooks can launch dozens a day, and Meta’s ad targeting puts them in front of the people most likely to click. You pay, the jacket never arrives and the store disappears.

The FTC says more than 40% of people who lost money to a social media scam ordered something from an ad. They keep slipping through detection systems.

Americans reported losing $2.1 billion to social media scams last year, eight times the 2020 total. Facebook accounted for $794 million, Instagram $659 million and WhatsApp $380 million. Apparently, the checkout button works beautifully.

Make AI your fraud investigator

Screenshot the ad, copy the store’s web address and paste this into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Grok:

Here’s a screenshot of a Facebook ad and the store’s website, [URL]. Act like a fraud investigator. List every red flag: how new the domain is, prices far below retail, product photos that look copied, missing phone number or street address and a vague return policy. Tell me how to check whether this brand exists outside this ad, then rate the risk from 1 to 10.

Looks legit and still want it? Bookmark the ad for 24 hours. Find the retailer independently and pay by credit card for better dispute protection.

In 2025, criminals stole more than $275 million through online real estate fraud.

No break-in. No broken window. Just paperwork. (That’s a whole lot of houses nobody meant to sell.)

Here’s what you need to know:

The county doesn’t check. Offices record those documents, but they aren’t responsible for verifying them.

Your signature is already out there. Property records, much of which are public, include your name and signature.

Paid-off homes are favorite targets. Rentals and second homes, too, because the owners aren’t watching.

It can take years to notice. By then, the crook has borrowed against your equity or sold the place.

Once a fake deed is on file, untangling it can turn into a legal and financial nightmare. The smart move is catching it the day it’s filed.

A company like Home Title Lock watches the county records for your property around the clock.
